SAE STANDARDS FOR MACHINE OPERATOR PROTECTIVE STRUCTURES.............................................vii

Tigercat 632E/635G Skidder Introduction

SAE STANDARDS FOR MACHINE OPERATOR PROTECTIVE STRUCTURES


THE OPERATOR ENCLOSURE FOR THIS MACHINE MEETS THE FOLLOWING STANDARDS:
• ISO 8082:2003 ROLL OVER PROTECTION STRUCTURES (ROPS)
• ISO 8083:2006 FALLING OBJECTS PROTECTION STRUCTURES (FOPS)
• ISO 8084:2003 OPERATOR PROTECTION STRUCTURES (OPS)

MODIFICATIONS AND REPAIRS


The integrity of the ROPS, FOPS, OPS structure and its continued ability to provide the level of protection it was
designed for could be seriously affected by any modifications to the structure, its mounting or to the chassis to which it
is attached.
Tigercat emphasizes that the certification of approval of the ROPS, FOPS, OPS structure will become void if any such
modifications take place.
Tigercat may officially grant approval for modifications only by:
• Written approval of repairs or modifications signed by the Tigercat Engineering Manager; or
• Approved modifications officially released by Tigercat.
Both of the above are provided that the work is carried out in the factory approved manner.
Unauthorized modifications and/or repairs made or contributed to by a customer or a Tigercat distributor may result in
creating a dangerous situation and therefore the customer or Tigercat distributor will be considered to have assumed
the risk involved or be negligent in creating this situation.
Tigercat will not be held responsible for situations arising from having created unauthorized modifications/changes to
the structure.
Operator cabs are designed to ROPS, FOPS, OPS standards so that they will withstand force and absorb energy
during a roll over (ROPS), when resisting the impact of a falling object (FOPS) and minimize the possibility of operator
injury from penetrating objects (OPS). When a permanent deflection of the structure occurs, the structure can no
longer provide the original designed level of protection and should be replaced. Attempts to straighten the structure,
particularly by the application of heat, can reduce still further the structures remaining capability to protect.
The mounting and the frame or chassis to which the cab is attached is considered an PROTECTIVE STRUCTURES
integral part of the ROPS, FOPS, OPS and is included in the design, test and certification of CERTIFICATION

GREASE INJECTION INJURY WHEN
USING PNEUMATIC GREASE GUNS
Pneumatic grease guns can deliver grease at
pressures from 17 - 400 bar (246 - 5801 psi).
It takes less than 7 bar (100 psi) to inject a
substance through human skin.
ALWAYS get professional medical treatment
immediately after any type of injection injury.
Provide the physician with information on the type
of grease, the pressure setting of the gun, and
similar details.
The amount of fluid injected, type of fluid (or
material), pressure at which it was injected, and
the elapsed time between injection and surgery all
influence the chances of successful treatment for
this type of serious injury.
Prior to using a high pressure pneumatic grease
gun perform the following:
• All operators of high pressure pneumatic
grease guns MUST be trained in the hazards
of its operations and the treatment for such
injuries.
• DO NOT OPERATE a high pressure
pneumatic grease gun unless you have been
trained in the proper operation and are aware
of all safety precautions of such a tool.
• Wear protective clothing such as gloves,
safety hat and safety glasses.
• Inspect all parts of the grease gun for wear
and tear and replace all worn or damaged
parts.
• Ensure that protective shrouds are installed
on all grease gun nozzles as safety devices.
• Remove dirt and grease from grease fittings
prior to greasing.
• Replace any defective grease fittings on
equipment with new fittings immediately.
• When badly positioned fittings are identified,
replace them with angled or swivel fittings for
easier access.

chemical powder.
Workers performing this work should wear
protective clothing, safety goggles and a fine
particle dust mask to minimize their personal
exposure to the dry chemical powder.
Ensure that all electrical systems have been
completely de-energized prior to any cleanup.
1. In areas of the machine that remained cool
and dry during the fire, the dry chemical will
stay in powder form.
Be certain to clean these areas immediately
to prevent any settled residual powder from
coming into contact with moisture whether
through direct contact or humidity in the air.
Remove the powder residue by blowing off
with air, sweeping, dusting or vacuuming using
a HEPA filter capable of trapping the small dry
chemical particles. Then wipe all surfaces with
a damp cloth.
2. In areas exposed to moisture, the dry
chemical powder will combine with water to
form a paste that is mildly acidic. Note that all
surfaces covered by this dry chemical paste
including electrical contacts are vulnerable to
corrosive attack.
To neutralize the acidic paste on large
surfaces, spray or wash these areas with a
mixture of 3 parts hot water to 1 part baking
soda. Allow this mixture to stand for several
minutes before rinsing with warm water. Wash
the area with a mild soap and water solution.
Rinse thoroughly with water. Blow-dry to
remove all residual water.
Cleaning of electrical contacts should be done
using an electrical contact cleaner that has
no flash or fire point and is non-corrosive and
non-conductive such as CRC Contact Cleaner
2000.

TIGERCAT OIL ANALYSIS PROGRAM


Effective for all 2007 model year 600'E' series skidders sold in North America, oil sampling and analysis
must be performed during the warranty period as per the schedule below.
Warranty coverage of powertrain components, specifically hydrostatic pumps and motors, auxiliary
pumps, axles, transfer case and driveshafts is contingent on performance of regular oil sampling at the
owner’s expense during the warranty period.

632E/635G Model
Location First Sample Follow-up Samples
Hydraulic Oil 125 Hours Every 1000 Hours or 6 Months
Transmission 125 Hours Every Oil Change (500 Hours or 3 Months)
Axles – Front & Rear 125 Hours Every Oil Change (1000 Hours or 6 Months)

FIRST SAMPLE
There will be no charge for the first oil samples required to be taken during the 125-Hour Inspection
Service that will be scheduled and performed by your Tigercat dealer. Refer to NEW MACHINE
MAINTENANCE in THIS SECTION.
FOLLOW-UP SAMPLES
All follow-up samples must be taken as indicated in the chart above and will be the responsibility of the
machine owner.
Copies of all oil analysis results must be forwarded to the Tigercat Warranty Department for
continued warranty coverage. If samples are taken using the Tigercat Oil Analysis Program, a copy of
all results will automatically be sent to Tigercat.
Tigercat Oil Analysis Kits are available from your Tigercat dealer parts department. If required,
arrangements can also be made with your Tigercat dealer to supply and perform all of the required follow-
up oil samples.
Refer also to OIL SAMPLE COLLECTION PROCEDURES in THIS SECTION for sample valve and drain
plug locations.
TIGERCAT OIL ANALYSIS KITS
Each kit includes a Pre-paid Sample Bottle and Sample Information Form. Pre-printed mailing labels are
also included to ensure all samples are quickly returned directly to the lab for immediate analysis and
results within 24 hours of receipt.
The same type of sample bottle can be used for all types of oil testing including:
Hydraulic Circuits, Final Drives, Axles, Gearboxes, Engines, etc.
To ensure accurate and meaningful results are obtained, each kit also includes detailed instructions on
how properly collect, prepare and ship the oil samples.
Contact your Tigercat Dealer Parts Department to order Kits.

oil samples, fill out all of the required SIF forms
in their entirety, prior to taking any oil samples.
Then, immediately package each completed SIF
form together with the matching oil sample in the
black outer shipping container as each individual
sample is taken. This will reduce the possibility of
mixing up or incorrectly identifying the SIF forms
and oil samples. Incorrectly identified samples
could result in a false warning alarm.

GENERAL
FIRE PREVENTION
Maintaining your machine properly will greatly
extend its life and reduce your operating costs.
Fire can result in a machine loss which can be
financially devastating.
1. Pine needles and bark when allowed to
accumulate, form a fuel source that when
ignited is extremely difficult to extinguish. A
thorough program of regular cleaning and
washing will reduce the possibility of a fire
starting. In the event a fire does start, the
regular cleaning program will improve the
chances of successfully extinguishing a fire.
2. Pay close attention to wiring and plumbing
routings during maintenance, ensure that
ALL wiring harnesses or hydraulic hoses are
properly restrained and clamped to prevent
damage from chaffing.
3. Read the fire suppression system manual
and have the system serviced regularly by
qualified personnel.
4. In case of fire lower the boom system to
the ground and turn off the engine before
discharging the fire suppression system.
Also refer to the SAFETY section of this manual
for additional information on how to prevent fires
from starting on the machine.

620E-089 HUMIDITY SENSOR


The humidity sensor is located on the air intake

information is used to calculate the amount of DEF
to be injected into the system.

632E-024 CATALYTIC CONVERTER


The catalytic converter is located on the left side of
the engine compartment. Chemical reactions
inside the catalytic converter reduce nitrogen
oxides (NOX) in the exhaust gas.
The catalytic converter is equipped with sound-
proofing material and replaces the exhaust
silencer. It incorporates both the selective catalytic
reduction (SCR) and the cleanup catalyst (CUC)
components of the aftertreatment system.
The first phase of the SCR process takes part
in the first part of the catalytic converter: high
temperature exhaust gas evaporates the DEF
solution instantly and, by hydrolysis, converts it
into ammonia (2NH3) and carbon dioxide (CO2).
Evaporation of the solution lowers exhaust gas
temperature, bringing it closer to the optimum
temperature required by the process.
The exhaust fumes and ammonia at the proper
reaction temperature, are introduced into the
catalytic converter, where the second phase of the
process takes place: by reacting with the oxygen
in the exhaust gasses the ammonia is converted
into free nitrogen (N2) and water vapour (H2O).
Finally the high efficiency catalytic converter
incorporates a clean up catalyst (CUC) which
reduces any excess ammonia (NH3) which may
result from the SCR process.

USED ON TIGERCAT GRAPPLES
In this model the snubbers are part of the link.
Two separate snubbers provide snubbing action
in two directions. There is a grease fitting on
each snubber housing for daily lubrication. Be
sure to lubricate all the grapple snubbers on your
machine.
Proper lubrication prevents excessive clutch wear.
IMPORTANT !
All service points on snubbers must be greased
every shift (8 hours) to ensure a long service life.

The 4-Bolt Split Flange consists of four main The four-bolt port is simply a circular opening (flow
components: passage) surrounded by four tapped holes in a certain

• One “captive” or two “split” flange clamps in the groove in the flange head when the clamp bolts
• Four bolts and washer are torqued. In some instances, the groove is in the
port and not in the flange head. The bolts, through the
clamp halves, clamp down the flange head on to the flat
surface of the port compressing and trapping the O-ring
WASHERS in the groove and leaving no gap for it to extrude under
pressure. The hydraulic pressure is thus sealed by the

distinguishes between different modules through firstly
verifying the module type and then, secondly, through
the modules having a unique addresses.

EXAMPLE
If a system has an XS2 module with address 0, the
system will denote this one as XS2-A0, The letter “A”
refers to CAN-bus A. 42 29

In order to assign any XS2 module a unique CAN- 28 15

TERMINATING
To eliminate interference in communication, through the
CAN-bus, the CAN-bus must be terminated. Because Id-Tag
the master module always is located at the beginning
of the bus, the master is provided with an internal Connecting ID Tag (XS2 or XA2)
termination. If an IQAN-XA2 module is located at
the end of the CAN-bus then use an Id-tag having a
combined address and terminating function. This is
denoted with a “T” for terminating, after the appropriate
address such as; 0T, 1T, 2T...

SELECTING APPROPRIATE ID-TAG


• Check the address number of the module.
• If the module is located at the end of the CAN-bus
then select the appropriate Id-Tag denoted with a
“T”.

CHANNELS DIGITAL OUT (DOUT)
The definition ‘channels’ is a collective name for the A PWMOUT with 100% duty cycle is a Digital Out
inputs and outputs found on the different IQAN modules. (DOUT). The outputs have a value of low or high. These
There are also channels internally in the system, to are mostly used to activate lamps, on/off valves or to pull
handle for example, MD3 messages and mathematical relays.
calculations. The channels are used to collect and/
or send data. Input and output channels are described
below.

INPUTS
VOLTAGE IN (VIN)
The input signal at these inputs comes primarily from
analog sensors, levers, and switches. These devices use
a power/signal/ground system to provide an input value
(VIN) between the high (+5V) and low (-5V) signals
generated in the modules.

DIGITAL IN (DIN)
An input that is typically on or off, such as a switch. This
input is often used to determine if an event has occurred,
such as pushing a button or engaging a relay.

FREQUENCY IN (FIN)
Typical functions are speed measure or revolution
measure. This input can count the number of signals
per second to determine the speed of a rotating or
reciprocating body.

OUTPUTS
PWM OUT (PWMOUT)
PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) Out is a way of
producing an analog signal level with a digital output
that turns on and off many times a second. By varying
the ratio between on and off time (duty cycle) an output
proportional to the system voltage can be obtained.
PWMOUT maintains a constant output voltage, and the
output current is governed by output voltage and the
resistance in the circuit.

CURRENT OUT (COUT)


In this application outputs labeled COUT are actually
PWM signals programmed to operate in closed loop
mode. The close loop mode features a PWM signal
with current regulation. The programmed COUT
channel maintains a constant output current to control
proportional solenoids. The voltage is regulated to
maintain the constant current based on the programmed
input command independant of the resistance of the
circuit.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SCHEMATIC DIAGRAMS
The following pages (or CD) of electrical schematic diagrams represent the complete electrical system for this
machine. Use sheet 1 (shown below and also enlarged on later pages) as a guide or flow chart to help trace circuits
and troubleshoot the electrical system. Circuit wires are numbered, and each wire from the source component to its
connecting component should retain the same number. See note for wire number exceptions.
NOTE: There are some exceptions to this wire numbering system. Where a wire branches off or a wire from a special
prewired component connects to a machine harness, two numbers may be used on the same circuit wire.

system for use in controlling the drive system.
A flushing valve is incorporated into the motor. This valve
provides a regulated flow of oil from the low pressure
side of the loop in the motor case. This action reduces
the possibility of particle build up in the loop by providing
a continuous change of oil, it also assists with cooling.
Flushing occurs only when there is a pressure differential
between the high pressure and low pressure sides of the

drains (drive pump, main pump, and drive motor),
brake valve drain line, loadsense/auto brake manifold,
multifunction manifold, front axle and rear chassis
(winch and grapple) drain line. This oil passes through
the suction strainer element before entering the cooling
circuit.
The suction strainer element requires no regular
maintenance over the life of the machine. This element
requires maintenance only in the case of damage or
contamination due to a hydraulic pump or motor failure.
IMPORTANT !
The suction strainer element is NOT a filter element.
Always use the correct replacement element. Use of an
incorrect (filter type) element will result in pump damage.

OIL COOLER CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The suction strainer collects hydraulic oil from case
drains (drive pump, main pump, and drive motor),
brake valve drain line, loadsense/auto brake manifold,
multifunction manifold, front axle and rear chassis
(winch and grapple) drain line. This oil passes through
the suction strainer element before entering the cooling
circuit.
The cooling pump draws oil from the suction strainer and
hydraulic tank and sends it to the oil cooler via the cooler
bypass manifold. The cooler bypass manifold ensures
that the differential pressure between the oil cooler inlet
and outlet does not exceed 100 psi (6.7 Bar). Pressure
increases within the oil cooler can occur in cold weather
when oil temperatures at start-up are very low.
Cooling of the oil occurs as air is drawn over the oil
cooler cooling fins. Cooled oil then passes through the
front chassis return manifold, the return filter elements
and back to the hydraulic tank.
Oil is added to the hydraulic reservoir using the electric
hydraulic fill pump, located under the engine, is used
to add oil to the hydraulic oil tank. The pump switch
is located on the right side at the front of the engine
compartment
Oil entering the hydraulic tank passes through a diffuser
situated inside the tank below the oil surface.
Refer to HYDRAULIC FILL PUMP and FILLING THE
HYDRAULIC TANK in SECTION 3.
NOTE: Winch drain lines may vary slightly from those
shown in the illustration based on the type of winch in
use.

DOZER CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION Refer also to SECTION 6 of THIS MANUAL for complete
electrical schematics and more detailed information
Oil is supplied to the dozer hydraulic system by a
about the computer control system.
variable displacement piston pump (main pump).
The main pump supplies oil to the front control valve
(steering, dozer, grapple rotate) circuits and rear control
valve (winch, arch, grapple, boom) circuits. The front
and rear control valves are equipped with load sensing
connected to the main pump control. The front control
valve is equipped with an inlet relief valve which acts as
a load sense relief.
NOTE: The main pump also provides pilot oil to the
multifunction manifold (differential locks, winch freespool,
parking brake, variable pitch fan). In addition, main
pump oil is directed through a check valve to the brake
accumulator. The oil from the brake accumulator side of
the check valve is sent to the brake foot control valve to
operate the service brakes.
Oil enters the inlet section of the front control valve
and is allowed to pass through the closed center spool
sections to the end section. Internal pilot pressure supply
is generated by a pressure reducing valve in the end
section for use in operating the spool sections. A load
sense signal is sent to the main pump control.
Two cylinders are used to move the dozer blade UP
or DOWN. Each electro-hydraulically controlled spool
section has a closed centred 3 position spool with spring
centring.
When the operator moves the dozer control lever
forward or back a signal (VOLTAGE IN - Dozer Lever)
is sent to the computer control system. The computer
control system generates a signal (CURRENT OUT –
Dozer Up-/Dn+) which is sent out to a solenoid on the
dozer section of the front control valve activating the
DOZER UP or DOZER DOWN function.
When the DOZER UP or DOZER DOWN function is
activated electrical current from the computer control
system creates a magnetic force proportional to the
current supplied within the solenoid. The corresponding
solenoid shifts the actuator and allows the spool to be
shifted by internal pilot pressure applied to the end of
the spool. Shifting the spool directs oil from the pressure
gallery to either end of the two cylinders to move the
DOZER UP or DOWN. The dozer section of the control
valve is equipped with cartridge style relief valves to
protect the circuit from over pressurizing.
Return oil is directed through the control valve to the T1
port where it returns to tank.
Refer to LOAD SENSING in SECTION 9 for more
information on load sense systems.
