Log Loader (Heel Type)
Illustration 1 g02352868
Position the machine near the bunched trees to be loaded. The machine should also be positioned perpendicular to the bunched trees to be loaded.
Position the truck behind the machine. The end of the trailer should be near the machine.
Turn the engine speed dial to the HIGH IDLE position.
Open the grapple. Lower the grapple far enough from the butt ends of the trees in order to have the butt ends of the trees rest on the heel of the implement when the load is raised. Close the grapple around the trees to be loaded. Do not overload the grapple. The arms of the grapple must close completely around the trees before lifting the trees.
Lift the load by using the boom function and the stick function. Keep the trees horizontal to the ground when you are lifting the trees. Swing the upper structure in order to bring the load over the trailer.
Lower the trees smoothly onto the trailer. Open the grapple slowly so the trees will be released from the grapple. Raise the implement when the grapple is empty.
