Service Accumulator Systems Safely
Escaping fluid or gas from pressurized hydraulic
accumulator systems can cause serious injury. Extreme
heat can cause the accumulator to burst, and pressurized
lines can be accidentally cut. Do not weld or use a torch
near a pressurized accumulator or line.
Relieve pressure from the hydraulic system before
removing the accumulator.

Slotted link (Optional Feature)
If the head has a slotted link installed, keep away from the
slot, as any movement in the feed arm or harvester head
may cause pinching.

Chain Shot Guard Inspection
CAUTION: Serious injury or death can occur.
The harvester head can move unpredictably
during service procedures. The frame lock
pin must always be used during maintenance
or adjustment procedures.
The function of the chain shot guard (6) is to reduce the
risk of serious injury or death to operators and bystanders
from flying saw chain pieces. The chain shot guard must
be in place and structurally sound to absorb the energy
from a broken saw chain (1) and reduce the whip action
that causes a second break of the saw chain, ejecting
pieces of the cutting saw chain at high speed. For
additional information about chain shot, refer to Avoid
Chain Shot in the safety section of this manual.
Inspect the chain shot guard daily or when saw chain
maintenance is performed.
Saw chain breaks are the primary cause of wear or
damage to the chain shot guard.
The chain shot guard, cap screws, and hardware should
be replaced yearly or when excessively worn or damaged.
