Product Manual

OPERATING POSITION
Unfold saw into operating position by removing pin that holds
saw arm closed in Travel position. Make sure that your loader
bucket is rotated enough to allow saw arm to swing and come
forward without hitting the ground. Lift saw arm, then reinsert the
pin through the Shock Indicator and Safety Cable into the bottom
hole of the Arm Angle Bracket using the pin you just removed.
The bottom hole will be used for most of the
cuts. Cutting branches close to the ground
or very high will require the saw arm and
mast to be straighter, use the bottom hole
closest to the loader. If you are making cuts
that require more angle, use the top hole
closest the saw. Be sure to always pin both
the shock indicator and the safety cable.
IMPORTANT: Inspect the shock indicator for damage prior to operation. Be
sure it is in good condition and shows no signs of damage. Check indicator
shaft to be sure it is screwed in securely. Never operate the LIMBSAW with a
damaged shock indicator, OR, without the safety cable properly attached.
See additional information about using your LIMBSAW on page 13: “USING YOUR LIMBSAW”
OPERATIONAL GUIDELINES
CAUTION:
Never drive your vehicle while the chain saw is in the open
position or is spinning. Always disengage the hydraulics, and fold the
saw into the Travel position. Driving your vehicle with the chainsaw
in the open position can result in bending the mast and pins. Always
operate your LIMBSAW from the safety of your vehicle seat. Always
turn off your vehicle engine, fold and pin your LIMBSAW into the
Travel position, before parking your vehicle for the day. Remove
LIMBSAW from vehicle when transporting the vehicle.
DANGER:
Always turn off your vehicle engine before mounting or
removing unit from loader.
NOTE:
If you are unsure or have concerns about installing and using your
LIMBSAW, have your LIMBSAW dealer or representative demonstrate
the proper installation and use before you attempt it yourself.
WARNING:
Never use your LIMBSAW indoors or without all safety guards
and cables properly attached.
CAUTION:
Do not use saw mast to lift or move tree limbs. Using the mast
for lifting will damage the equipment and void warranty.
NOTE:
REVIEW THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE FOLLOWING
PAGE FOR CHAIN TENSIONING PROCEDURE.
Correct chain tension is vital for the safety and correct
operation of your LIMBSAW.
Always make sure the hexagonal nuts for the chain
guard cover are tightened securely after tensioning
the chain in order to secure the bar.
During operation, continually monitor the tension of the
chain and tightness of the nuts as you would any other
chainsaw. If the chain becomes loose while in operation,
shut off vehicle engine and then tighten the chain. Allow
chain to cool before attempting adjustments.
WARNING:
Never make adjustments to any part of your LIMBSAW while
your vehicle engine is running. Attempting to make adjustments during
operation can cause serious injury or death.
