Assembly Instructions
Required Materials
Purchase or manufacture two high-pressure hydraulic hoses (3000 psi minimum). These
hoses must be long enough to connect from the tractor’s hydraulic connections to the 1/2
inch NPT fittings on the log skidder. The type, size, and pressure rating of the owner sup-
plied hydraulic hoses must be determined by the owner using the tractor’s specifications.
The hoses can be fitted with quick disconnect fittings, if desired.
Shipping List
The following chart contains the list of parts that should be shipped as part of the SB-05
Log Skidder.
Unpacking the Crate
1
. Cut the metal banding around the packing crate and remove the top, sides, ends, and
protective plastic covering. Do not unband or remove the log skidder from the bottom
pallet at this time.
2
. Carefully check the log skidder on the crate for shipping damage. If the parts are
damaged call Iron & Oak at (815) 672-8596.
Assembly Procedure
The log skidder is very heavy and can be damaged if mishandled. Also,
to help prevent personal injury, it is strongly recommended that two (2)
people work together to uncrate the log skidder.
1.
Read all instructions and safety recommendations in this booklet before assem-
bling or operating this log skidder attachment.
2
. Cut the bands holding the log skidder onto the pallet.
CAUTION
✔
Carry the load as low as possible. Do not exceed the rated 2,000 pound load.
Load, unload, and turn on level ground. Travel up and down slopes with the
heaviest end of the load uphill. Failure to follow the instructions or heed the
warnings could result in injury or death.
✘
NEVER swivel the grapple beyond the 135° pivot angle in either direction when
making sharp turns. Pivoting beyond this limit could damage the torsion spring
and hydraulic lines and put undue stress on the tractor components.
✘
NEVER back up while holding a log. This practice could cause damage to the
skidder or the tractor.
✔
ALWAYS raise the log sufficiently off the ground so it can be skidded easily
without digging into the ground. Note, the height will depend largely on the size
of the tractor.
✘
Injury to persons can result from logs being moved by the log skidder. Make
sure all persons are clear of the logs before moving the tractor. The tail end of
the tree length logs can throw objects at bystanders.
WARNING: To avoid bodily injury, do NOT allow anyone to stand near the
log skidder at any time the unit is in operation or while it is holding a log.
Maintenance and Repair
✔
Follow all safety rules, because most accidents involving the operation, main-
tenance, or repair of products occur because the assembler/owner/operator
failed to observe basic safety rules or operating instructions.
✔
ALWAYS inspect your log skidder before each use. Make sure all nuts, bolts,
screws, hydraulic fittings, hose clamps, etc. are securely tightened.
✔
ALWAYS check the oil level in the hydraulic oil tank of the tractor.
✘
NEVER operate your log skidder when it is in need of repair or is in poor
mechanical condition.
✘
NEVER make alterations to your log skidder in any manner. Such alterations
may cause the log skidder to become unsafe and WILL VOID THE
WARRANTY.
✘
NEVER attach a rope or extension to the tractor’s control levers. Such ALTER-
ATIONS may cause the log skidder to become UNSAFE.
✘
ALWAYS clean the unit after each use. If possible, store the unit inside or cover
it completely, if stored outside.
