6.13 Position the First Log
WARNING!
The log stabilizer is heavy! Never attempt to push
a log through the stabilizer opening by hand. The
stabilizer could drop suddenly and cause serious
injury. Always use the appropriate procedure and
tools to push or pull a log through the opening.
IMPORTANT! Stop winching when the hook reaches the
winch. If the operator is winching and the log is not moving,
it is possible that the rope is fully retracted. If the operator
continues winching, the end of the rope may pull off the
hook.
1. Winch the first log to the machine. Make sure the log does
not catch on the front edge of the lead-in chute. See
Fig.
34 .
2. Winch the log up the lead-in chute to the log stabilizer.
3. Stop the winch and make sure the log is stable.
4. Push the winch gear lever to the RH side (away from the
operator) to disengage the winch gear.
5. Slightly, pull the rope out of the winch by hand.
6. Detach the hook from the winch strap.
7. Move the winch strap to the far end of the log. See Fig. 35 .
8. Pull out the winch rope and reattach the hook to the winch
strap.
9. Pull the winch gear lever to the LH side (toward the
operator) to engage the winch gear.
10. Winch the log through the log stabilizer to the log-length
guide.
