Operating Instructions
Operating The Kwik Trim (Cont’d)
WARNING:
Keep children, bystanders
and other workers away from the machine
while it is operating. No riders allowed.
Move the machine to work area. See the machine’s
Owner’s Manual for detailed information on operating
the machine.
Position the machine so that the trees to be trimmed are
on the right side of the machine. Positioning the machine
in this manner, uncut limbs will not limit the visibility of
the operator and the saw motor and saw frame will not
hang up on the tree trunk or limbs. Approaching the tree
in any other manner will subject the saw motor and saw
frame to undue damage and wear. After the machine is in
position for the first cut, stop the machine.
Lower the dozer blade to stabilize the machine.
NOTE:
If the terrain slopes significantly, tilt the boom to
the uphill side of the slope. This will help stabilize
the machine to reduce the possibility of a rollover
and allow a 90° cut on the tree limbs.
WARNING: When trimming trees in dense
forest where visibility may be limited,
always position personnel in sight of the
operator to warn operator of hazards,
possible collisions or unauthorized
personnel in trimming area.
WARNING: Always close and latch the cab
door before trimming trees. Falling limbs,
debris, and saw fragments may enter the
cab causing serious injury or death.
Increase engine RPM fully.
Position the saw blade for the first cut. Start saw blade
rotation.
NOTE: It’s recommended to start trimming limbs
nearest the operator and work from the bottom
of tree to the top.
NOTE: Avoid rubbing the boom on lower limbs while
working up the tree. Rubbing the boom on the
tree or limbs will result in damage to the boom
and structural weaking of the boom.
Small Limbs - A straight forward cut can be made with
the saw by extending the boom until it contacts and cuts
through the limb.
Large Limbs
- Always cut larger limbs from the top down
to avoid binding the saw blade and causing damage to
the saw blade and motor.
WARNING:
If the saw blade becomes
lodged or pinched in the cut, DO NOT try
to dislodge by pushing or pulling with the
track drive. Serious damage to the Kwik
Trim components can result.
WARNING:
Full extension of the boom
should be used to reach the highest limbs,
NOT to extend the horizontal reach of the
machine. Fully extending the boom in the
horizontal position to trim limbs may result
in damage to the structure of the boom.
WARNING:
Avoid overextending the boom
while cutting if the boom is horizontal or
below horizontal. Boom life could be
shortened by extending the boom
horizontally excessively as a regular
practice while trimming limbs.
WARNING: AVOID WHIPPING THE
BOOM UP AND DOWN QUICKLY.
Whipping the boom up and down quickly
will result in breaking fibers in the boom.
NOTE:
The operator may need to experiment to
determine the best cutting procedures for
individual situations.
NOTE:
Cutting speed depends on size of limbs, density
of growth, type of trees and the terrain.
When trimming is complete, stop saw blade rotation,
retract and lower the boom, raise the dozer blade and
move the machine to the next trimming location. Lower
the dozer blade and continue trimming.
