Operator Protective Structures
XJ1298962—UN—22JUN20
Machines with harvesting or felling heads should be
fitted with an operator protective structure (OPS): bars
and so on to prevent operator injury from penetrating
objects such as trunks and branches. The cab front
window should also be strong enough (e.g. double
safety glass) to prevent chain shot injuries. The carrier
should have a roll-over protective structure (ROPS) to
prevent the operator being crushed should the machine
roll over.
The machine operator, supervisor, or owner must
always check the cab of the carrier to ensure the cab is
equipped with OPS and the OPS is not visibly damaged
when working in the woods. He must also check and
comply with the local and regional requirements for
operator protection for forestry harvesting or felling
operations. See
ISO 8082 Forestry – Operator
Protective Structures (OPS) for internationally
recognised performance requirements. Some regions
have additional requirements beyond ISO 8082.
IMPORTANT: The harvester head must be operated
in a manner that prevents debris from hitting
the cab.

Inspect the Harvester Head
T6607AQ—UN—15APR13
Before starting each day, walk around the harvester
head and carefully inspect it. Look for signs of damage,
unusual wear, or fatigue cracks. Pay special attention to
exposed parts such as the cylinder rods or hoses.
Note all safety devices on the harvester head and
ensure they are working properly. Make sure all guards
and shields are in good condition and properly installed.
Replace missing or damaged warning and caution
labels.
CAUTION: Modifying, moving, or removing
safety devices fitted to the equipment could
result in injury or death.
Make sure the harvester head adjustments are correct
and the delimb arms and saw chain are sharp. Inspect
the saw chain and saw bar condition for excessive wear
or damage daily, and also immediately after hitting a
rock or other foreign material.
Inspect all hydraulic hoses. Check the hydraulic oil
regularly and add oil when required.
IMPORTANT: Fix any damaged parts, and replace
worn or broken parts, immediately. Note faulty
operation when it occurs, and follow up with a
service check.
