Safety - Operating Precautions
Operating Safety Precautions
Do not allow anyone within a risk zone of 90 metres (300

feet) from the machine! Stop the machine immediately, if
someone steps to this area. Watch especially the area in
line with the saw chain!
Never leave the machine unattended while the engine is

running.
Keep all doors and windows closed during operation.

When you are learning to use the machine or
demonstrating it, stay in the cab.
Notice the safety distances to electric lines.
Notice the weakness and inclination of the ground. Follow

the information package of the stand.
Check that no-one is in the line of the blade during

sawing. Should the saw chain break, fragments may fly off
causing a risk of accidents.
Avoid sawing above the lower edge of the cabin window.
Only chains, saw bars and drive sprockets from a

well-known manufacturer should be used.
Never saw with a damaged or worn-out saw bar or chain.
Follow up cut times. There is an automatic cut time

supervision in Tj 3000 / Timbermatic 300. Change a
worn chain when needed.
Use as short saw bar as possible.
Never saw with a bent or poorly aligned saw bar.
Check that the saw bar returns immediately after sawing

through. Avoid sawing through too large stems. If the bar
goes too far, the chain may jump off or possibilities of
sawing to a stone grows. See additional instructions on
regulating the control system saw depth.

General
CAUTION: You must never carry out service on

the machine while the engine is running.
CAUTION: Never touch pressurised cylinders or

hydraulic hoses or stand in the vicinity of them.
Do not tighten leaking connectors when the

machine is running. High pressure jets of oil
can be fatal!
The manufacturer cannot take any responsibility for

conversion of the head’s constructions or electrical and
hydraulic systems if these are not the same as the
original.
Never modify the hydraulic system to speed up the chain

rotation.
Rest the harvester head firmly and safely on the ground

and release the hydraulic rams. However, do not operate
the cylinders all the way to the end limiters.
Lock the harvester head so that it cannot fall over.
Stop the engine.
You must never stand between the delimbing tools, feed

rollers or in front of the saw bar while the engine is
running!
When washing the harvester head with pressurized water,

be careful with the electrical components: make sure no
water gets inside.
Take care to remove any snow or ice, twigs and bark from
the area around the cutting equipment and the length
measurement wheel.
Never adjust hydraulic pressure without a manometer.
Inspect the condition of the saw and its mountings, and

check that there is no leakage or other faults.

Working with Oils and Chemicals
IMPORTANT: Always take environmental

considerations into account. Plug all
connectors so that oil does not leak
and go to waste.
Work that may involve contact with oils and chemicals

may lead to skin problems. Strict hygiene should
ALWAYS be observed.
Some advice to remember:
• Keep the hydraulic oil clean to eliminate possible

problems in hydraulic system. Clean the service point
surroundings carefully when servicing / changing
hydraulic components.
• If possible avoid contact with oil, especially hot oil! Also
avoid skin contact with colour marking dyes or stump
treatment fluids!
• Skin that has been exposed to oil or chemicals should
be washed immediately!
• Wear protective gloves!
• Avoid breathing in oil, colour marking dye or stump
treatment fluid fumes!
NOTE: See also safety instructions for base machine!
CAUTION: Hydraulic oil may not exceed

recommended maximum values. Exceeding
these values may cause structural faults and
lead to injury or damage.

harvesting of a stand marked for cutting. Planning is
carried out on the basis of an information package of the
stand. The package consists of harvesting instructions, a
map, as well assize and quality requirements.
The operator acquaints himself with the stand marked for

cutting on the basis of the information package. This can
also be done in cooperation with the foreman. This step
involves the clarification or determination of logging roads,
driving directions, trees to be felled, the boundaries of the
logging area, ditches, paths, overhead power lines,
telephone cables, ground water areas as well as other
limiting factors, and storage landings.
When familiarizing yourself with the stand marked for

cutting, take a good look also at potential defects in the
trees to be felled and at areas that will be preserved.
What must be taken into consideration in planning is

occupational safety, environmental aspects, the diversity
of forests, and key biotopes.
IMPORTANT: The harvester head may be badly

damaged if you work on trees that are
oversize!
Do not use the harvester for the

processing of trees that exceed
maximum ratings!

Thinning
General
The purpose of thinning is to contribute to the growth

potential of the best trees in a stand.
It is of extreme importance to minimize the damage

inflicted on trees.
When a stand is thinned by a single-grip harvester the

trees are not blazed. Instead, the operator selects the
trees to be felled on the grounds of aspects related to
optimal growth and working technique.
If the logging area features a lot of underbrush, clearing

the under brush before the actual logging phase will
expedite logging and decrease the likelihood of damage
being inflicted on the trees left standing.
• When handing over an information package of the stand

marked for cutting, the foreman informs the operator
whether it is permitted or possible to drive in the
neighboring land. It is forbidden to drive without an
appropriate permission in land owned by others.
• What must be taken into account in the planning phase
is the room needed for the storage landing.
• When storing timber, pay attention to the hauling
distance in the forest, a permitted site suitable for
storing, and the feasibility of the landing for further
transportation on public roads.

Thinning
• Fill the ditch with pulpwood or other low-quality timber

to avoid the ditch getting damaged. Bear in mind that
the ditches must be cleared and opened again when
logging is over.
• Do not fell trees into young stands or recently planted
stands, on overhead power lines or telephone cables,
etc. Trees must always be felled within the stand
marked for cutting.
• When working on thinnings, especially if the ground is
difficult and you work after dark, it is wise to mark the
logging roads in advance. When defining the routes for
logging roads, be realistic and take into account the
contours of theground.
• Pay extra attention to how heavily a given stand can

Working Techniques for Thinning
Thinning with a harvester alone
First, prepare the logging road. Delimb the trees above

the logging road, which will allow you to leave the
branches on the road. Drop branches on the roots of trees
left standing to provide extra protection. If necessary, use
the felling head to spread the branches evenly. The width
of the logging road must be approx. 4 meters (13 feet).
Decide where to stack the stems. Process the trees over

the road and lay the stems on the opposite side. To
minimise unnecessary movement of the loader you should
–UN–08MAR02
fell trees alternatively on the right and left sides.
Choose the felling direction on the basis of the timber

classification, since stems are often difficult to move after
T152449
felling.
If possible, start with pulpwood so that this is beneath the

main classification, as this will simplify forwarding. 1—Boom zone
2—4,0 m (13 ft)
It is often a good idea to fell slender trees at the outer

limits of the loader reach towards the working track,
except if the twigs are needed on the road.
If possible, process one tree species first, followed by the

next.
NOTE: Always bear in mind the timber classification

before felling!

Thinning
Thinning with a harvester and chain saw
The work team consists of a harvester operator, forwarder

operator and logger.
The advantage of this method is that oversize trees can

be felled manually towards the working track and be
processed by the harvester. It is also useful on steep
ground or if tracks are widely spaced.
The work team can take turns at operating the harvester,

forwarder or chain saw, so that everyone learns each
other’s job.
–UN–08MAR02
1. Work starts with the harvester felling the working track
and loader zones.
2. Manual felling must not begin until the harvester is

trees and increases the risk of breaking the tops of
trees.
4. Once the manual felling phase is over, the harvester

can process the trees that have been felled manually,
and trees that have not been processed for some other
reason.
5. If timber is to be cut from a manually felled tree then

the tree should be reversed through the head and an
initial crosscut made at the root so that it can be
crosscut from the right direction.
If the forest is sufficiently tall then mechanical-manual

felling can be carried out on alternate tracks since the
entire mechanical-manual zone is felled from a single
track.

When considering the need for and location of a storage

landing, make sure that your operation will be feasible and
effective.
When defining the location of the storage landing, pay

attention to the hauling distance in the forest, a permitted
site suitable for storing, and the feasibility of the landing

Working Techniques for Regeneration

Harvesting
Felling into trees
Trees are felled towards the stand marked for cutting in

the following cases:
• When changing working direction.

• Where felling area opens onto a boundary (for example
immature forest or power line).
• Where stems are close together or where there are
strong side winds, this method is to be preferred. –UN–08MAR02
This felling method creates a timber-free zone for driving

the machine.
T152446
2-3-1 120202
PN=27
Felling outwards from the stand
Trees are felled outwards from the stand marked for

cutting in the following cases:
• The last trees at the edge of the stand to avoid

damaging the trees right ahead.
• Avoid top damage to slender trees in areas where trees
are of widely differing maturity.
• If it is likely that the snow is going to freeze over, fell
the last trees outwards from the stand before finishing
your work in the night shift. This will make it easier to
place the harvester head at the right felling level when
working on the first trees on the following morning.
–UN–08MAR02
T152447
2-3-2 120202
PN=28
Felling in both directions
Using this method will allow you to decrease the use of

boom movement courses.
If the stand marked for cutting is dense, a one-way felling

is more suitable.
First, fell the trees standing on the left-hand side of the

strip median, and then proceed to your right. This will
make sure that the harvester head is in full use most of
the time.
The method also results in the logging slash being left on
–UN–08MAR02
the logging road, thus providing a ground with a better
load-bearing capability for the harvester and forwarder.
Logs should be stacked at an angle to the machine as
T152448
shown. This prevents twigs and tops of trees ending up
on the stacks on the opposite side.
Oversize trees that are close to the maximum reach of the 1—Pulp

loader can be left for the next round when the machine
can be positioned closer to the tree to permit a shorter
reach and better lifting capacity.

The following tips can make driving easier for you.
• Check the maximum felling diameter of the head you

are using.
• If the head is equipped with automatic cross-cutting you
should calibrate this first so that the crosscut function is
properly set up.
Recommendation: Learn how to manually crosscut first.
• If you are unfamiliar with the machine it is advisable to

start with smaller trees and move on to larger trees as
you gain experience.

General
Now the tree has been felled it is time to delimb and

crosscut it. Make it a habit to process a tree where it
stood.
Together with your supervisor decide which grades and

classification to use in the chosen area. Make it a routine
to assess each tree on the basis of the worst length.
It is a good idea to start feeding while the tree is falling.

This makes delimbing easier since the weight of the tree
carries it through the head. By doing this the first log can
be fed out by the time the top of the tree hits the ground.
This method takes experience but after some training it
will work well.
TK01162,0000024 –19–23JAN02–1/4
Keep the head as close to the ground as possible during

feeding and crosscutting. Take care that stones, for
example, do not damage the feed rollers.
If the tree has a lot of branches you can improve the

delimbing performance by swinging the loader in the feed
direction. You can also program in an overshoot into the
computer to help the start of feeding on the next log.
You gain a lot of time by delimbing and crosscutting

instead of operating the loader.

Maintenance - General
General
Should there be adjustments or repairs that require

special tools and an experienced mechanic, please
contact a repair shop or mechanic authorized by the
manufacturer.
Before embarking on a new site it pays to collect all

essential instruction manuals, tools and spare parts in a
place that is within easy and quick reach.
When servicing the machine, try to keep every component

as clean as possible!
IMPORTANT: When washing the harvester head with

pressurized water, be careful with the
electrical components: make sure no
water gets inside.
• The state of the saw must be checked often. Replace

the saw chain if it has fallen off. It is best to sharpen the
saw chain and straighten the saw bar by machine in a
maintenance room. Saw bars can be straightened
between two curved surfaces.
• Retighten a new chain after few dozens of sawings if
there is no automatic chain tensioning device on the
saw unit.
• Keep an eye on the harvester head and its operation to
see if there are slack or loose parts, leaks of hydraulic
oil, worn-out hose sections, etc.
• Make sure that the hydraulic oil level is correct. An
insufficient amount of oil will result in poor running, a
damaged pump, and ruined lubrication properties of the
oil.
If necessary, please feel free to contact the dealer or the

service shop authorized by the manufacturer.
For any information related to the base machine and the

boom, see the respective instruction manuals.
NOTE: Bear in mind that, when servicing the machine,

the maintenance that comes after every 1000
running hours, for example, also includes the daily
maintenance as well as the maintenance that
comes after every 50 running hours.

Maintenance Safety Precautions
CAUTION: The harvester head may be repaired

and maintained only by trained personnel or an
authorized service workshop with proper tools
and hoisting device.
CAUTION: The engine must be turned off

always before maintenance!
CAUTION: Never touch pressurised cylinders or

hydraulic hoses or stand in the vicinity of them.
Do not tighten leaking connectors when the

machine is running. High pressure jets of oil
can be fatal.
Always when you work on or around the harvester head,

the prime mover engine must be shut off and the master
disconnect switch be turned off in order to prevent
accidents.
Do not allow any outsider to enter the cab of the machine

when you are checking, maintaining, or repairing the
harvester head.
Always keep the steps and handrails of the machine in

good repair and free of oil, grease, and ice.
Do not tighten leaking connectors when the machine is

running. High pressure jets of oil can be fatal.
Do not exceed the operating pressure recommended by

the manufacturer! Never modify the hydraulic system to
speed up the chain rotation!
Keep the machine clean: A dirty machine catches fire

easily.
Before leaving the machine always lower the harvester

head and place it firmly on the ground. Do not ever go
under a boom or harvester head that has not been
properly supported.
3-1-2 120202
PN=40
In case the drain line of the hydraulic system is equipped

with a ball valve (to prevent oil leaks during maintenance)
it is of paramount importance to ensure that the valve is
open when you start the machine again. Otherwise, the
harvester head may move in an uncontrolled manner and
the hydraulic motor gaskets may be damaged.
TK01162,0000032 –19–29JAN02–2/3
CAUTION: If it is necessary to work close to an

open harvester head, secure the head to
prevent it from falling over.
If working near the harvester head when the motor is

running, observe the following:
1. The saw chain must absolutely be demounted (the

motor has to be shut off before this).
2. Bring the harvester head into a firm, secure position

against a steady foundation.
3. Secure the locking screw (A) to its place to make sure
–UN–12NOV02
that the grapple cannot tilt over (see the figure).
4. Avoid standing between opened delimbing knives and

feed rollers. Danger of getting squeezed!

equipment.
If the chain breaks, separated chain links may attain great

speed and cause serious accidents. Standing in front of or
behind the chain saw is absolutely prohibited during
sawing! Avoid also crosscut felling when the cabin is on
the sawing line.
When working with the saw chain always check that the
motor is switched off. Use protective gloves. Always
remove the saw chain when adjusting or servicing the saw
unit.
When changing shift always replace the chain with a

sharpened and checked chain. A sharpened chain
reduces the risk of chain fracture and splintering of timber.
Never modify the hydraulic system to speed up the chain

rotation.
Follow the recommendable control pressure of the

automatic chain tensioning device. Too high tensioning
pressure shortens the life time of the sprocket wheel, the
chain and the guide bar.
Safety when replacing the saw chain:
When using a new "dry" bar and chain for the first time,
these should be lubricated.
Chains which have jumped off should be checked

carefully for cracks, bent links, etc. Discard damaged
chains, guide bars and sprocket wheels.
Check the alignment of the guide bar and the sprocket

wheel. Use adjusting shims if needed.
Check the function of the chain lubrication system.

Description of Operation
The bearing package contains components 1 and 2. The

bearing application is very strong because of a large
contact area and balls close to another.
The saw motor (3) is fastened to the component 1 with

two screws. The drive sprocket (8) is mounted on the
motor shaft. It moves when needed with the motor trought
the bearing package.
In the fastening plate of the saw bar there is a long, with

the drive sprocket aligned guidance, which gives a long
life time for the fastening plate. The saw bar fastening
–UN–12NOV02
plates (4, 5) are available in different sizes as needed.
There are three oval O-rings in the saw bar support. The
middle one of them serves as a locking piston for the
T161586
fastening plate of the saw bar. The chain tensioner (6)
works with a mechanical lock cylinder and a spring set.
The fastening plates and the saw bar are prevented from

Chain Saw Maintenance
CAUTION: Always turn off the diesel engine

before you touch the saw!
Lower the harvester head to the ground so that

the saw unit is upwards if possible!
Danger of cuts!
Wear protective gloves and proper tools!
Follow safety instructions.
If the saw chain snaps loose chain links may be flung

around with a lot of force, causing serious personal injury.
It is absolutely forbidden for anyone to stand in front of or
behind the saw (in the longitudinal direction of the saw
bar) during operation.
The saw chain should always be replaced by a sharp and

inspected chain before a new shift begins. A sharp saw
chain not only reduces the risk of chain break but also
minimizes the number of logs with splinters.
If a chain comes off the saw bar, check the chain carefully
for fractures, bent teeth etc.
Make sure that the saw bar returns immediately after you
have sawn all the way across the log. Sawing excessive
cross-cutting distances at one go should be avoided. If the
saw bar proceeds too far, the saw chain may come off the
bar. For more details see the control system instructions
for how to adjust sawing depth.
Grease new saw bars and saw chains before putting them
to use.
Discard saw chains with fractures in the sliding surfaces

of the side links and cutter links (in the direction of the
rivet).

Sharpening (.404 Chain Pitch)
IMPORTANT: The sharpness of the saw chain has a

dramatic impact on the quality and
outcome of your work!
Use a Ø 5,5 mm (7/32") file. When filing a chain the

handle must point downwards at a ten-degree angle (see
fig.1).
The filing angle of the upper plate (see pos. 2)
The filing angle should be similar for all links. Direction of

filing is outwards from inside the cutter teeth.
The side plate angle (see pos. 3)
The file size and the point at which the side plate is filed
are factors that have an impact on the side plate angle.
Cutting angle (see pos. 4)
The correct cutting angle will be automatically created if

the upper plate angle and the side plate angle are correct.
The depth of the depth gauge (see pos.5)
The depth gauge must be checked after all the cutter

teeth have been filed. For the first resharpening, adjust
the depth gauge to 1.2 millimeters (0.05 in). The front
edge of the depth gauge must also be rounded.

Dos and Don’ts of Saw Chain Sharpening
IMPORTANT: The following instructions for saw chain

sharpening and troubleshooting also
apply to mechanized chain sharpening.
If the file is kept too high, the cutting angle will be a

negative one and the link blunt (i.e. the cutting angle is
too big). If this happens the chain will require a lot of
feeding power and the side links will wear out faster.
Similarly, the rearmost contact surfaces (against the saw
bar) of the links will also be subjected to excessive wear
(see pos. 1).
On the other hand, if the file is kept too low the cutting
angle will be a positive one and the link will be pointed
(the cutting angle is too small). In this case the saw chain
has a tendency of knocking. As a result, the chain
becomes weak and the risk of snapping is increased. The
side links will wear out faster and the front edges of the
–UN–09APR02
cutting teeth contact surfaces will be subjected to
excessive wear (see pos. 2).
If the cutting teeth are damaged (after hitting a stone, for
T153810
example) you have to pay attention to the link with the
worst damage when grinding or filing the chain. What the
cutting link with the worst damage dictates is
measurement ’a’ which must be similar for every link of
the chain. Otherwise the result will be a slanted and
irregular cutting process with poor cutting surfaces. If
measurement ’a’ is 3...4 mm (0.1...0.2 in) the chain must
be discarded (see pos. 3).

Saw Bar Maintenance
Saw bar maintenance and the related adjustments largely

determine the extent of saw bar life. This is why the
following instructions require undivided attention.
Bluish Saw Bar
Depending on the size of the tree, sawing usually takes

1...3 seconds. One lubrication shot of oil will be given by
the lubrication pump at the outset of the sawing process.
If the sawing process takes a long time, lubrication of the
chain will be poor towards the end of the process.
What a long sawing time also means is that the saw bar
groove will heat up. This, in turn, will result in bluishness
of the saw bar. If the groove is thus hardened the final
outcome may be cracks and bits that break off.
Bent Saw Bar
A bent saw bar can be straightened unless there are

sharp bends or the groove is damaged. After the saw bar
has been straightened, the saw chain movement must be
easy and smooth in the groove. If necessary, check the
saw chain tension after the chain has been rotated.
TK01162,0000057 –19–04FEB02–1/3
Worn Out Saw Bars
• When replacing the saw chain always check the saw

bar groove to ensure that it is not slanted as a result of
wear.
• If there is slant as a result of wearing the saw bar must –UN–09APR02

Do not exceed the ratings provided.
Do not remove any orifices or safety valves.
Follow the safety rules given in this manual.
Depending on the type of the feeding roller and on the

stand you are working on it is possible to use roller and
knive pressure values that are lower than the values given
by 1...2 MPa. For details please contact our authorized
service personnel.
NOTE: The pressure valve for the pressing po-wer on the

saw is different in a harvester head with SuperCut
equipment (option) than in a basic model (see the

CAUTION: To eliminate the risk of crushing,

plug 481 (harvester head lift) must be
disconnected before checks and adjustments.
This, of course, is not true for lifting checks.
Remove also the cover on the valve altogether.

Control and Measuring System
The control and measuring system controls the operation

of the components in the harvester head, like saw, feed
rollers and delimbing knives. The system controls the
length and diameter of tree trunks continuously when the
trunks are being fed as well as the position of the saw bar
during sawing, provided that the harvester head is
equipped with sensors for the saw.
CAUTION: Selecting a wrong harvester head

type may change the operation of the harvester
head in a dangerous way. Test all functions
after the selection!
To guarantee the correct functioning of the harvester head

select the right program version and harvester head type.
The pressure values given in this manual should be
regarded as guidelines only. The automatic system
requires a more precise adjustment based on the stand
marked for cutting, which can be achieved, for example,
by increasing the number of steps of pressure gradation.
The settings taken from a similar machine may provide a
useful model. When the most suitable settings have been
found, it is a good idea to print them on paper or to record
them on a diskette or data card.
It may be necessary to change the settings when going

over to cut another marked stand.
Check the volume determination every time when

changing the settings of the harvester head.
For setting instructions of the main parameters for the

harvester head, see the control system manual with
instructions for use.

There are two different types of color marking systems:

system in the delimbing knife (fig. 1) and SuperMark color
marking system (fig. 2).
The SuperMark color marking system is used with

SuperCut saw equipment.
The color pump is same for both systems (except with the
SuperMark equipped with three colors).

PN=140
Before Use
It is not recommended to use the color marking without

color, because it might cause damage into the color
pump.
To prevent disrupting operation it is essential that the

color marking equipment is looked after properly.
Color Quality
Timberjack has tested and approved a grade of color fluid

suitable for the color marking equipment.
See the F-codes for the colors in the spare part manual.
Filling with Color
Take care when filling with color so that no foreign matter

falls into the tank.
Before filling, the strainer under the filler cap should be

checked and cleaned.
Color Marking Test
CAUTION: Do not put your hand in front of a

dye stream.
Risk of serious personal injury.
Run the color marking test of the respective measuring

system to ensure that color marking is working.
Carry out color marking a couple of times during each

shift even if color marking is not being used.
7-1-2 120202
PN=141
Bleeding
If color does not come out, the system should be bled

after dye has been filled.
1. Color marking system in the delimbing knife (fig. 1)

• Open the plug for the color in question until the color
fluid begins to flow.
• Tighten the plug.
2. SuperMark color marking system (fig. 2)

• Remove the bleeder plug (A) for one color at the
time and run the color marking function until the
color is free from air.
–UN–12NOV02
• Close the bleeder plug (A).
Problems
T161534
If the color marking does not work check that the strainers
are clean.
Figure 1
Also check that no foreign matter is present in the throttle
valves in the nozzle units. Finally open the nozzles and
clean them.
CAUTION: Do not force pressurized air

generated with a compressor into the tank.
Risk of injury.

Maintenance
Cleaning the Strainer
As a result of the impact of water, alcohol-based dye

agents may also deposit sediment. At the bottom of the
tank there is a strainer that must be cleaned as
necessary. Rinse the strainer with solvent.
Pump Maintenance
If the dye piston gets stuck and the spring fails to return
the piston, dismantle the pump and check the piston,
cylinder, and gaskets. If necessary, replace the gaskets.
Bleeding the system is of paramount importance once you
have assembled the pump again.
Cleaning the Nozzles
1. Color marking system in the delimbing knife
NOTE: Be careful when dismantling the nozzles. A spring

and a ball lie under the nozzle and if the harvester
head is standing upright, they may fall out.
Therefore, place the head firmly on the ground
before beginning to dismantle.
• If necessary, clean the nozzles with thin steel wire

thread. The woven wire in hydraulic hoses, for
example, is usually good for this purpose.
• Remove the nozzles one by one and clean the
holes. Be careful not to loose the spring and plastic
ball located behind the nozzle.
2. SuperMark color marking system

• If a nozzle is leaking when the color marking function
is disactivated, the nozzle should be cleaned, as this
indicates that the check valve is jammed.
• This is easiest done by leaving the nozzle in a
solvent over the night and then dried clean while the
check valve is opened with a non-metallic object.
NOTE: Be careful not to damage the check valve inside

the nozzle.
NOTE: Never disassemble the check valve inside the

nozzle.

Useful Tips
Do not use viscous grease between the valves when

putting the valve blocks together. Do not use ball head
hex keys when opening the valve screws.
If it is necessary to open the lower end of the suction

hose, close the valve below the receiver.
It is also necessary to close the valve every time the

harvester head is moved to a position (e.g. for transport)
where air could get into the suction hose.
Close also the screw plug on the tank feed plugs when
the harvester head is moved to a position (e.g. for
transport) where color could run out through a feed plug.
Also run the colour marking function a couple of times

during each shift even if colour marking is not being used.
Do not use the color pump when there is no color in the

tank. An empty stroke of piston can distend the piston
head and make the piston seize up.
TK01162,0000043 –19–31JAN02–1/1
When not in Use
When standing still for a longer period the tanks should be

filled with some diesel or petroleum oil. Then run the
system to flush out all color.

Description of Operation
The saw unit comprises the saw housing (1), which

contains a four point bearing and a sprocket (9), a feed
cylinder (6), which contains the feed rack, and a dosing
saw chain lubrication pump (7). The hydraulic cylinder (6)
has hydraulic dampening, what is known as a "Soft Stop"
function, which helps to avoid hard impacts. A piston
stops the flow of hydraulic oil by travelling through the
opening (B) in the contact plate (8). The saw unit has a
patented automatic chain tensioning system (E), which is
made up of a tensioner (2) and a saw bar holder attached
to it (3).
–UN–16APR02
The bar returns hydraulically (A). The feed cylinder (6)
and the bar holder are not at the same level (C), which
helps to avoid problems caused by snow frozen onto the
stem or other deposits. The saw bar feed angle (D) is 95º.

NOTE: After changing the motor the hydraulic motor must
be filled with hydraulic oil through the drain line.

Chain Tensioning in Conjunction with

Sawing
When the feed line (P) is pressurised, the reduced

pressure from the pressure regulation valve (1) affects the
chain tensioning cylinder (2) and the saw bar holder
cylinders (3). The chain tensioning cylinder (2) keeps the
chain tight, while the saw bar holder cylinders (3) keep the
bar holder against the chain tensioner during sawing. The
spring (4) helps to keep the chain tight during the first
sawing after changing the chain. The check valve (5)
prevents outside disturbances such as undergrowth from
loosening the chain.
The check valve (5) is equipped with a small bleed

groove, which prevents overtightening caused by possible
pressure peaks.
The pressure can be removed from the tensioner by

turning off the engine to open the check valve (5)
–UN–12NOV02
removing pressure from the tensioner. This makes it
possible to remove the saw chain without tools.

Bleeding the Chain Tensioning System
NOTE: Always bleed the system when there is reason to

suspect that air has got into the system, e.g. in
conjunction with changing hoses.
1. Check that the saw unit is standing on a firm surface.
2. Lean the saw so far backwards that the bleed valve (1)
is as high as possible compared to the tensioning
piston.
3. Remove the saw chain (see Changing the saw chain).
–UN–16APR02
4. Open the bleed valve (1) 1 - 2 turns.
Use tool (2) see picture.
T154095
5. Start the motor and run the saw several times until the
oil coming from the bleed valve no longer contains air.
6. Turn the bleed valve (1) shut. Because the chain is not 1—Bleed valve
2—Tool
in place the chain holder will move to the most
extended position and stay there.
7. Fit the chain in place (see Changing the saw chain).
8. Repeat the stages above approximately 30 minutes

after use.

Adjusting the Pressure of the Chain

Tensioner
1. Toimintaperiaate
The 3,5 MPa pressure comes from the pilot valve of

feeding and goes to the chain tensioner through a 0,4 mm
throttle. Oil runs to the tank always through the 0,4 mm
throttle.
The maximum pressure of the chain tensioner can be

restricted with a pressure regulation valve (1). If there
appears a bigger pressure peak on the chain tensioner,
the pressure regulation valve lets off the oil to the tank.
If the chain jumps off the bar when sawing, this may be
due to air in the system or too low tensioning pressure.
Start to investigate the cause by bleeding the system. See

Bleeding the chain tensioning system.
–UN–12NOV02
If the chain still jumps off the saw bar, it might be
necessary to adjust the pressure. The pressure is
measured at the measuring point at the pressure

Adjusting the Sensors
For the saw to work faultlessly, the sawing regulation

device and the saw bar home sensors must be
approximately 0.5 mm (0.2 in) away from the target area.
Follow the procedures below when adjusting the sensors.
–UN–12NOV02
1. Covers are installed on sensors in order to make
adjusting of sensors easier.

2. Screw the sensor (1) carefully by hand anticlockwise
through the plate (3), until it hits the sensor’s wheel or
shaft. See figure 1. Figure 1.
3. Unscrew the sensor 1/2 a turn, after which it should be

approximately 0.5 mm (0.2 in) away from the target
area. If you use mate pins as an aid, it is easy to
adjust the sensor ±5° which is vital for the faultless
functioning of the sensor. See figure 2.
