Important Safety Information
Most accidents that involve the operation,
maintenance and repair of the product are caused by
failure to observe basic safety rules or precautions.
Accidents can often be avoided by recognising
potentially hazardous situations before an accident
occurs. The user must be alert to potential hazards.
The user must also have the necessary training,
skills and tools to recognise such situations.
Incorrect operation, lubrication, maintenance or
repair of this product can entail risks and could result
in injury or death.
Do not operate or perform any lubrication,
maintenance or repair work on this product until you
have read and understood all the instructions relating
to these actions.
Safety precautions and warnings are provided in this
manual and on the product. Failure to observe these
hazard warnings could result in injury or death.
The hazards are identified with a “Safety alert
symbol” and followed by a “Signal word”, such as
“DANGER”, “WARNING” or “CAUTION”. The label
with the symbol for “WARNING” is shown below.
The meaning of the safety alert symbol is as follows:
Attention! Be alert! Your safety is involved.
The message that appears under the warning
explains the hazard, and can either be in text or
presented pictorially.
Eco Log cannot anticipate every possible
circumstance that might entail a potential hazard.
The warnings in this manual and on the product are,
therefore, not all-inclusive. If an attachment, working
method or operating technique is used that is not
specifically recommended by Eco Log, you must
satisfy yourself that this does not entail any safety
risk to you or others. You should also ensure that the
product will not be damaged or constitute a danger
as a result of the operation, lubrication, maintenance
or repair procedures you employ.
ii
All the information, specifications and illustrations in
this manual are on the basis of information that was
available at the time of publication. Specifications,
torques, pressures, measurements, adjustments, il­
lustrations and other items can change at any time.
Such changes may affect the service that is per­
formed on the product. Obtain the complete and most
current information before starting work. Eco Log ser­
vice providers always have the most up-to-date in­
formation available.
When replacement parts are required for this
product, Eco Log recommends using genuine Eco
Log replacement parts or parts with equivalent
specifications including, but not limited to, physical
dimensions, type, strength and material. Failure to
heed this warning can lead to premature failures,
product damage, personal injury or death.

1. General
1.10. Machine and environment
1.10.1. Machine and environment
Be sure to comply with local environmental
regulations! It is easy for oils and chemicals to be
spilled in the countryside when cleaning and
repairing forestry machines in field. It is estimated
that one litre of oil will pollute a million litres of water!
Be sure to avoid oil spillages! Oil and chemicals that
are not going to be reused must be handled in
accordance with the applicable regulations! Maintain
good communications with the local authorities and
the land owner!
1.10.2. Service and repairs
Carefully collect up oil and other chemicals when
performing inspections, maintenance, testing,
adjustment and repairs on the machine. Prepare to
collect the fluid in suitable containers before opening
any compartment or dismantling any components
containing fluid. Parts that are not going to be
reused and that can may contain residues of oil or
other environmentally hazardous substances, such
as oil filters and hydraulic hoses, must also be dealt
with.
1.10.3. Protective washing
Protective washing refers to cleaning the machine’s
engine, radiator and other components. This
cleaning must be carried out at regular intervals for
reasons relating to fire and cooling. Only use
environmentally friendly degreasing agents! Follow
the manufacturer’s recommendations regarding
action times and any required dilution! Spray the
degreasing agent onto the machine, and once the
agent has had time to act, use a high-pressure jet of
water to rinse it off. Degreasing agent is not
generally required if you have access to hot water
(30-40°C). Rinsing is carried out with the bottom
guard folded down.
1.10.4. Machine washing
Machine washing is the complete cleaning of the
machine that is carried out two or three times a year.
This cleaning should only be carried out at sites that
have oil separation equipment. Take the opportunity
when the machine is in the workshop!
1.10.5. Waste
Waste oil, chemicals and debris are collected in
special refuse containers and waste oil tanks, which
must either be present in each felling region or
accompany the machine’s repair vehicle. The
machine owner or client must reach agreement with
the local authorities about the subsequent
processing of oil and waste.
14
Instruction Manual
550D/560D/570D/580D
NOTE! Responsibility for ensuring that this is
managed correctly rests entirely with the machine
operator! If you have any questions or thoughts,
contact the local authorities!
1.10.6. Asbestos
Eco Log equipment and Eco Log replacement parts
contain no asbestos. Eco Log recommends that only
genuine Eco Log replacement parts are used. If,
despite this, replacement parts containing asbestos
are used, the applicable environmental protection
regulations must be complied with when scrapping
them!
1.10.7. Correct waste disposal
Comply with the local environmental protection
regulations!
Incorrect waste disposal is a threat to the
environment! Potentially harmful fluids and other
materials must be disposed of in accordance with
applicable environmental protection regulations.
1.11. Consideration for the
environment
Those who work in the forest do not only view the
forest as a workplace, a source of employment and
income. For them, as for many others, the forest is
also a beautiful environment to relax in, a source of
new energy. A place where you can hunt and fish,
pick mushrooms and berries, see animals and
plants, or a place for beautiful walks.
As a machine operator, being able to work in the
forest is a great advantage, but also a great re­
sponsibility! Your job is to help create a forest that
will continue to contribute to income and recreation
in the future, a forest that is a healthy living environ­
ment for animals and people!
Improve your operating technique with the aim of
minimising damage to the land.

11. Be aware of the risks of working alone! An
emergency alarm such as a mobile telephone or
other communication equipment is
recommended! Be sure to inform another
person of where you will be in the event of an
accident.
12. Make sure that nobody stands beneath a raised
boom or harvester head! If you have to work
beneath a raised boom or harvester head, they
must be secured in such a way that they cannot
fall and cause an accident!
13. Be sure to comply with local labour protection
legislation!
14. Be sure to comply with local traffic safety
legislation!
2.1.2. Who may operate the machine

only use the steps and handholds intended for
this purpose!
2. Inspect the steps and handholds daily for
damage or other factors that can impair their
function.
If damage is discovered, it must be repaired
immediately!
Do not use damaged handholds or steps!
Risk of slipping! Slipping is a common cause of
accidents! Keep the machine clean!
3. Make sure that steps and handholds are free of
oil, debris, snow, ice, etc., that could constitute
an increased risk of slipping!
4. Face towards the machine when mounting and
dismounting!
5. Maintain three points of contact (both feet and
one hand, or one foot and both hands) with the
steps and handholds!
6. Never mount or dismount a machine that is in
motion!
7. Never jump down from the machine!
8. Never try to mount or dismount the machine
when carrying tools or replacement parts!
9. Do not use controls as handholds when climbing
onto or down from the operator’s seat!
2.1.4. Leaving the machine unattended
1. Park the machine on a flat surface so that it will
not roll in the event the wheels are disengaged!
2. Park the harvester head and the boom in such a
way that they are not dependent on hydraulic oil

may enter the risk zone when the machine is in
operation! Make a habit of checking at regular
intervals that nobody has entered the machine’s
risk zone!
2. Also pay attention to the risk of chain shot! If the
saw chain is damaged and breaks, there is a
considerable risk of one or more chain links
being thrown off at high speed! Chain shot has
been compared to a gunshot. Never cut with the
chain bar pointing towards the cab or a person.
A chain short usually flies backwards or
forwards in the bar’s longitudinal direction! The
risk zone for chain shot is significantly larger
than the risk zone that applies for felling!
2.1.6. Emergency stop

2.1.7. Labels/Plates
Check regularly that all warning and instruction
plates are fully legible. If any plate is missing or has
been damaged in such a way that its legibility is im­
paired, it must be replaced with a new one as soon
as possible. For the location of labels, see heading
“Plates”, page 29, in this section.
2.1.8. Correct waste disposal
1. Incorrect waste disposal is a threat to the
environment. Potentially harmful fluids and other
materials must be disposed of in accordance
with applicable environmental protection
regulations.
2. Always use spill-proof containers when draining
fluids. Do not pour waste fluid onto the ground,
into drains or into any type of water source.
3. Never store fluids for the machine’s
maintenance in glass containers. Drain all fluids
into suitable containers.
2.1.9. Fire/explosion risk
1. All fuels, most lubricants and certain coolant
mixtures are flammable!
2. Be aware of the risk that finely diffused oil in the
air can be highly flammable. There can be an
increased risk of fire when oil comes into contact
with a hot surface (e.g. diesel oil that is spilled
onto exhaust components) or when oil under
pressure is released through a small opening
(e.g. hydraulic oil that leaks out through a
damaged hydraulic hose). Check hoses and
pipes for wear and degradation. Replace if
necessary. Also make sure that the connections
are properly tightened.
3. Fuel that leaks or is spilled onto hot surfaces or
electrical components can cause a fire!
2. Safety
4. Make sure that the machine is kept free of oil
and debris to minimise the risk of fire.
5. Clean the coolers and radiator grille to reduce
the risk of fire.
6. Be aware of the risk of damaged electrical
cables! These can cause fire! Check frequently!
Replace damaged electrical cables immediately!
7. Do not smoke when refuelling! Do not refuel in
the vicinity of naked flames or where sparks can
occur! Always switch off the engine before
refuelling!
8. Do not smoke in areas where batteries are
charged or where flammable material is stored!
Keep naked flames and sparks away from
batteries!
9. Do not charge a frozen battery! It could explode!
10. Incorrect connection of jump leads could cause
an explosion!
11. Do not weld and do not used cutting burners or
other equipment that could cause pipes or other
lines carrying flammable fluids to heat up! In the
event such pipes or lines have to be welded or
cut, they must be carefully cleaned with a non-
flammable detergent.
12. Keep all fuels, lubricants and other flammable
materials in properly marked containers. Make
sure they are inaccessible to unauthorised
persons!
13. Store all oily rags and other flammable materials
in a container intended for this purpose!
17
2. Safety
14. Bear in mind that accumulations of flammable
materials (e.g. oil and pine needles) can
intensify or spread a fire to places that would
otherwise themselves not constitute a fire risk!
Keep the machine clean of such contaminants!
15. Do not operate the machine close to naked
flames!
2.1.10. Fire extinguishers
1. Make sure the machine is equipped with
portable extinguishers! The machine is fitted
with holders for two portable fire extinguishers

before installing additional fire extinguishers
mountings on the cab, see “ROPS/FOPS”, page
28.
2. Make sure that the extinguishers are properly
located in their holders, and that the devices
holding the extinguishers securely in their
holders are functioning as they should!
3. Check the fire extinguishers regularly and
ensure that they are serviced in accordance with
their instruction plate! Servicing must be carried
out by an authorised service provider!
4. Familiarise yourself with the fire extinguisher
and its functions, so that you can act quickly and
correctly in an emergency! Bear in mind that it
may be more difficult to think rationally in an
emergency. See "In the event of fire", page 22.
5. Portable extinguishers must be used to fight
fires and for final extinction of fire in the event
the sprinklers have been triggered (if the
machine is equipped with such a system).
2.1.11. Electrical storms
Some actions can be potentially lethal during an
electrical storm! During an electrical storm, the
operator must avoid the following under all
circumstances:
• Dismounting the machine.
• Mounting the machine.
If you are in the cab during an electrical storm, you
must remain their until the storm has passed. If you
are on the ground during an electrical storm, you
must keep away from the machine.

death!
Instruction Manual
550D/560D/570D/580D
Risk of personal injury or death! A harvester head
includes a saw bar, holding arms, delimbing knives,
feed rollers, a tilt function and a rotator function.
These components or functions constitute a risk of
sawing or crushing injuries to people who come
too close when the machine and its harvester head
are in operation!
Take great care when working on the harvester
head!
3. Keep away from the following locations when
servicing, testing or adjusting attachments:
cutting tools, clamping surfaces, crushing

harvester head while it is in operation.
5. Activate the crane function and lift the harvester
head off the ground.
6. Make sure that the tyres are inflated to the
correct air pressure with regard to the surface
and the terrain you are working in, in order to
maintain optimum grip! Remember that the grip
can vary on different types of surface!
7. Be aware of the dimensions of the machine and
the equipment being used, so that you can
maintain the correct clearance when operating
close to obstacles etc.
8. Be aware of the risk of repetitive strain injuries
when performing sedentary work for long
periods!
Be sure to follow applicable regulations
regarding the length of shifts!
Risk of personal injury or death due to
electrocution! Keep the machine and attachment at
a safe distance from high voltage power lines.
Maintain a distance of 3 m plus twice the length of
the cable insulation.
9. Be aware of all overhead lines! When working
close to high voltage lines, you should have
acquainted yourself with the power supplier’s
applicable regulations. Note that the current can
jump to the machine from a distance of several
metres! In the event of physical/electrical
contact between the machine and a live cable,
or if the operator is concerned about the risk of a
20
Instruction Manual
550D/560D/570D/580D
flashover, do not dismount from the machine! If
the machine can still be operated, turn or
reverse away from the cable to the specified
safe distance! If the machine cannot be
operated, switch off the engine and think
through the situation calmly. The machine may
be part of the live circuit, which is now insulated
from the ground (earth) thanks to the machine’s
rubber tyres! Dismounting from the cab could be
potentially fatal! If you have to leave the cab
(e.g. in the event of fire), you must jump from
the machine with both feet together in such a
way that you do not risk acting as a conductor
between the machine and the ground (earth)!
Once you are on the ground, you must not touch
the machine under any circumstances! Move the
required distance (at least 10 m) from the
machine by jumping away with both feet
together. Contact the relevant power supplier for
further information!
10. Be aware of the risk of exhaust fumes entering
the cab in unfavourable conditions, for example
when there is no wind or in dense vegetation!
11. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery that can
snag on controls or on other parts of the
equipment. Wear footwear that remains securely
on your feet.
12. Lower the machine as far as possible using the
pendulum arms, without the bottom guard
coming into contact with the ground when
travelling, in order to minimise the risk of tipping
over. Remember that the machine’s centre of
gravity changes when raising and lowering with
the pendulum arms.
13. Crushing hazard. There is no clearance for a
person in this area when the machine turns.
Severe injury or death from crushing could
occur. Connect the steering frame lock between
the front and rear frames before lifting,
transporting or servicing the machine in the area
around the articulated joint. Disconnect the
steering frame lock and secure it in the storage
position before resuming operation.

1. Plan your route so that you drive the machine

straight up or down any steep slopes!
2. If the machine tips over, stay seated! Don’t
jump!
3. Be aware of the risks associated with working
on slopes, especially when travelling across
slopes! Tipping risk!
4. Remember that the machine’s centre of gravity
moves when it is felling a tree, so plan for this
before felling to ensure that the weight of the
tree does not cause the machine to tip!
2.6. Lowering equipment with
the engine switched off
Before lowering any equipment with the engine
switched off, clear the area around the machine of
all personnel. The procedure will vary depending on
the type of attachment to be lowered. Bear in mind
that most systems use a high-pressure fluid or com­
pressed air to lower equipment. This procedure
causes compressed air, hydraulic fluid or some other
media to be released in order to lower the equip­
ment. Wear appropriate personal protective equip­
ment.

5. Never travel with the pendulum arms in one of

the limit positions!

2.5.3. Driving on public roads

1. Make sure that all roading lights are working.

2. Attach an SMV (Slow-moving vehicle) sign.

3. Check for any local regulations regarding driving

on public roads with tracks/chains installed on
the machine. Contact the local authorities. You
may not drive on public roads if the
tracks/chains are damaging the road.

4. Deactivate the crane function when roading, to

ensure that the cab/boom cannot rotate.

5. Make sure that there is sufficient headroom for

the machine under bridges etc.!

2.5.4. Driving on ice-covered water

1. Driving on ice-covered water can be potentially
fatal! Make sure that the ice will definitely carry
the weight of the machine along the entire
planned route!

2. Before travelling over ice-covered water, make

preparations to evacuate the cab rapidly, in case
the machine should fall through the ice!

3. Drive with the seat belt unfastened! Be aware of

the risk of driving without a seat belt when
braking suddenly!

3. Never operate the machine with the cab tilted!

2.10.3. Blocking the machine

Fig. 4: Steering frame lock

1. The machine is equipped with a steering frame

lock. When this is connected, the machine
cannot turn around the articulated joint, which
means that the machine is ‘rigid’. This lock must
be used under the following circumstances:

• When lifting the machine.

• When transporting the machine on another

vehicle.

• When performing service work close to the

centre of the machine.
Fig. 3: Support the machine

Support the machine properly when working under­

neath it. The machine must be fully lowered to the
ground or supported with blocking in the fully raised
position. Only use jack stands approved for the pur­
pose.

Do not rely on the hydraulic cylinders holding the

machine up. The movement of a control or the rup­
turing of a hydraulic line could cause an attachment
to fall.

Fig. 5: Swing lock, crane plate

2. The machine is equipped with a swing lock for

the crane plate. When this lock is connected, the
crane plate cannot rotate. Install the swing lock
pins (2) before performing any work near the

The three holes allow the crane plate to be
locked in two different positions. This lock must
be used under the following circumstances:

• When lifting the machine.

24
Instruction Manual
550D/560D/570D/580D
• When transporting the machine on another
vehicle.
• When working on or near the crane plate, cab,
crane and harvester head.
3. Unless you are instructed otherwise, never
attempt adjustments when the machine is in
motion. Also, never attempt adjustments when
the engine is running. (see "During maintenance
and repairs", "General" p.9, page 23).
4. Whenever there are linkages, be aware that the
clearance in the linkage area will increase and
decrease with movement of the attachment.
5. Stay clear of all rotating and moving parts.
6. Keep objects away from rotating fan blades. The
fan blades will throw out or cut up objects that
come into contact with them.
7. If it is necessary to remove guards in order to
perform maintenance, always reinstall the
guards once the work has been completed.
8. Do not use a kinked or a frayed wire cable.
Wear gloves when handling wire cables.
9. When striking a retainer pin, the retainer pin can
fly out. A flying retainer pin can cause personal
injury. Make sure that the area is clear of people
when striking a retainer pin.
10. In order to avoid eye injuries, wear protective
goggles when striking a retainer pin.
11. Chips or other debris can fly off objects when
you strike them. Ensure that nobody is at risk of
being injured by flying chips and debris before
you strike an object.
2.10.5. Oils
1. Maintain a high level of cleanliness when
handling oils and lubricants that are used on the
machine, as long-term skin contact can be
harmful! Be sure to wear protective goggles and
gloves!
For additional information about health risks,
refer to the relevant product’s manufacturer.
2. Ensure that the machine and all its parts have
cooled before handling the machine’s oils! If oil
comes into contact with a hot surface, this can
generate and oil mist, which can be dangerous
when inhaled. Oil mist also constitutes a fire
hazard!
2. Safety
3. Wear protective equipment that protects against
contact with the skin and with the eyes!
4. Ensure that machine parts, tools and protective
equipment are kept free of oil!
Risk of slipping! Slipping due to spilled oil is a very
common cause of accidents! Clean up any
spillages!
5. Be aware of the risk of slipping when hydraulic
oil etc. has been spilled on the machine! Deal
with the spillage and keep the machine clean as
regards oils.
6. Be aware of the increased risk of slipping on oily
ground or machine parts. Ensure that the
machine, tools and protective equipment are
kept free of hydraulic oil!
7. Make sure you have a suitable container close
at hand for oil that may be spilled when working
with the machine.
8. All spilled oil must be dealt with, and is classified
as environmentally hazardous waste! Make sure
that relevant regulations are followed!
2.10.6. Hydraulics
1. Depressurise the hydraulic system that is to be
opened, either by parking the machine in a
suitable manner or by blocking/securing
attachments or pendulum arms!
2. Some pressure may remain in hydraulic
systems!
When the pressure is relieved, the machine or
its attachment can suddenly move. Take care
when disconnecting hydraulic lines or
connections. The release of high-pressure oil
can cause hoses to lash around. High-pressure
oil that is released can be sprayed around.
3. Be aware of the risk of the hydraulic system or
parts of the system being under pressure, even
though the machine has been switched off for a
long time!
4. See also chapter “Systems", heading “Relieving
pressure in the hydraulic system”, page 71.
25
2. Safety
2.10.7. Coolant
1. The coolant will be hot once the engine has
reached operating temperature. The coolant is
also under pressure. The radiator and all lines to
a heater or the engine contain hot coolant.
2. Any contact with hot coolant or steam can cause
serious burns. Allow the cooling system’s
components to cool before draining the cooling
system.
3. Only check the coolant level after the engine
has been switched off.
4. Ensure that the filler cap has cooled before
removing it. The filler cap must have cooled
sufficiently to be touched with your bare hands.
Undo the filler cap slowly to relieve the pressure.
5. Anti-corrosion agent for cooling systems
contains alkaline substances. These can cause
personal injury. Do not allow alkaline substances
to come into contact with skin, eyes or mouth.
6. Also be aware of the risk of coming into contact
with cold coolant in the winter! Contact with cold
coolant can cause a type of burn!
2.10.8. Batteries
1. Electrolyte is an acid. Electrolyte can cause
personal injury. Do not allow electrolyte to come
into contact with the skin or eyes. Always wear
protective goggles when servicing batteries.
Wash your hands after touching batteries or
terminals. The use of gloves is recommended.
2. Take great care when connecting and
disconnecting terminal shoes and jump leads,
as a short-circuit could cause the batteries to
explode!
3. Before handling batteries or other parts of the
electrical system, take off rings, watches, etc.,
that can conduct current! If a short-circuit takes
place via e.g. a gold ring, this can very rapidly
become so hot that it burns the finger.
4. Batteries must always be handed in for
recycling! Make sure that batteries are
discarded in accordance with relevant
regulations!
2.10.9. Compressed air and water under
pressure
1. When compressed air and/or pressurised water
are used for cleaning, wear protective
26
Instruction Manual
550D/560D/570D/580D
equipment, protective shoes and eye protection.
Eye protection includes protective goggles or a
protective face shield.
2. Never use compressed air or high-pressure
water to wash skin!
2.10.10. Fluid penetration
1. Always observe great care in the vicinity of
pressurised hydraulic systems, as jets of
hydraulic oil spraying out from damaged
hydraulic hoses, weld pores and other damaged
or loose components can be potentially fatal!
2. Pressure can be trapped in the hydraulic circuit
long after the engine has been switched off.
Such pressure can cause hydraulic fluid or pipe
plugs to escape at high speed if the pressure is
not relieved correctly.
3. Do not remove any hydraulic components until
the pressure has been relieved, as personal
injury could occur otherwise. Do not dismantle
any hydraulic components until the pressure has
been relieved, as personal injury could occur
otherwise.
4. See chapter “Systems", “Relieving pressure in
the hydraulic system” page 71, to ascertain
which measures are required to relieve the
pressure in the hydraulic system.
5. Always use a board or cardboard when
checking for leaks. Leaking fluid that is under
pressure can penetrate the skin. Fluid
penetration can cause serious injury or possibly
death. A pin-hole leak can cause serious injury.
If fluid has penetrated the skin, immediate
treatment is required. Seek treatment from a
doctor who is familiar with injuries of this type.
Instruction Manual
550D/560D/570D/580D
2.10.11. Containing fluid spillage
1. Care must be taken to ensure that fluids are
contained during inspections, service, testing,
adjustment and repairs of equipment. Prepare to
collect the fluid in suitable containers before
opening any compartment or dismantling any
components containing fluid.
2. Used fluids must be discarded in accordance
with applicable environmental protection
regulations.
2.10.12. Welding

• Never weld on or in the vicinity of a wheel
without first removing the air valve to ensure
that the wheel is definitely empty of air.
Otherwise there is a risk of the tyre to
exploding! The wheel must be grounded if it is
attached to the machine. Otherwise there is a
risk of bearing damage!
• Ensure that sufficient fire extinguishing
equipment is easily accessible when welding!
2.10.13. Cleaning the machine
1. Take great care when cleaning the machine with
a high-pressure washer or steam cleaner, as a
jet under high pressure or at a high temperature
could easily damage components on the
2. Safety
machine. Do not aim jets directly at cables,
electronic units or other components that could
be damaged!
2. When steam cleaning the machine, the
connector on the central apparatus for the fire
extinguishing system (optional) must first be
disconnected! The heat detectors are triggered
at 120°C, and there is consequently a risk of
them being activated by the steam!
3. When high-pressure washing the machine, the
connector on the central apparatus for the fire
extinguishing system (optional) must first be
disconnected! Components and cables can be
damaged by the jet and the system can be

2.15. Tyre information

Air-inflated tyres have exploded as a result of heat-
induced gas combustion inside the tyres. Explosions
can be caused by heat that is generated by welding,
by heating rim components, by external fire or by
excessive use of the brakes.
The maximum weight of the machine must not
exceed the ROPS certification weight. This weight
is stamped on the ROPS plate. This plate is located
on the cab exterior.

A tyre explosion is much more violent than a

blowout. The explosion can propel the tyre, rim

damage, personal injury or death.
When you inflate a tyre, stand behind the tread and
use a self-attaching chuck.

Servicing tyres and rims can be dangerous. Only

trained personnel using proper tools and proper
procedures should perform this maintenance. If
correct procedures are not used for servicing tyres
and rims, the units could burst with explosive force.
This explosive force can cause serious personal
injury or death. Carefully adhere to the detailed
instructions from your tyre supplier.

Fig. 7: (A) At least 15 m (50 ft), (B) At least 500 m (1500 ft)

Do not approach a warm tyre. Maintain a minimum

distance, as shown.

Do not use water or calcium as ballast for the tyres.

Eco Log does not recommend filling the tyres with

fluid to achieve greater stability. The basic version of
the machine is already very stable and does not
therefore need to be modified in this respect.

If the combined weight of the machine, the towed

attachment and the attachment cargo exceeds the
combined braking capacity available from the
machine and the towed attachment, a loss of
control may occur. The operator must verify that
the combined weight does not exceed the
combined braking capacity. Loss of control could
result in personal injury or death.

3.6. Ergonomics 3.7. Air Conditioner

To maintain a good ergonomic standard, you have
to:

• Make sure all windows are kept clean.

• Make sure you have good wiper blades.
• Make sure that the lighting is working and
correctly adjusted.
• Maintain the door’s lock and mouldings in
good condition.
• Adjust or replace parts of the seat and seat
base that are loose or are not working
satisfactorily.
• Make sure that armrest plates are intact, and
ensure that all the adjustment options are
working.
• Alter the armrest’s settings at regular intervals
to avoid repetitive strain injuries.
• Make sure that all instrument panels are
securely screwed in place, and that there are
instruments and switches in all outputs.
• Make sure that all cable bushings are intact
and correctly installed.
• Make sure that all insulating carpets are intact
and correctly positioned.
• Make sure that the cab’s rubber cushions are
intact.
• Not store grease guns and other tools loose
inside the cab.
• Generally keep the cab neat and tidy.
• Make sure that the exhaust system is sealed
so that no exhaust fumes enter the cab.
Fig. 16: Controls air conditioner
The machine is equipped with an ECC type air con­
ditioner, where the operator specifies the required
temperature in the cab using the temperature control
(A3) and the required air flow using the fan control
(A2). The ON/OFF switch (A4) for the air conditioner
system should normally always be in the ON posi­
tion, i.e. activated, even in the winter as this func­
tions helps to keep the windows demisted.
Note The greater the difference between the ambi­
ent temperature and the required temperature in the
cab, the longer it takes for the air conditioner to
reach the required temperature. The air flow can
also be regulated using the various air vents located
around the cab. The recirculation switch (A5) must
only be activated when the air in the cab is to be re­
circulated. In the event of extreme temperature dif­
ferences, the air conditioner produces a more rapid
response when this function is activated.

• Make sure that all steps, handholds and anti-
slip protection are intact and free of mud, snow
and ice.
Do not operate the machine for excessively long
sessions, but stop and take short breaks, known as
microbreaks. If you detect signs of problems that
may derive from repetitive strain or some other reas­
on, check the cause immediately so that you can
rapidly eliminate the causes of the problems. Other­
wise you run the risk of permanent incapacity.
Note When operating the air conditioner with the re­
circulation function (A5) activated, note that the air
inside the cab is not as well oxygenated and that the
over-pressure in the cab is reduced, which increases
the risk of unfiltered air entering the cab.
NOTE! In normal weather conditions, the recircula­
tion function must be deactivated!

Make sure that all applicable industrial safety regula­

tions are followed!

3.13.1. Steering control - (Left)/(Right) (D1)
The machine is steered with this joystick,
which springs back to the centre posi­
tion. The function is proportional, which
means that the steering speed corres­
ponds to the deflection of the steering control. Move
the joystick to the right to steer the machine to the
right, and move the joystick to the left to steer the
machine to the left. The machine stops turning when
the joystick is released. The machine does not
straighten up, however, but retains the angle
between the front and rear frame. The steering con­
trol must be moved in the opposite direction in order
to straighten the machine.

3.13.5. Joystick - Leveling (D5)
This joystick regulates the machine’s
pendulum arms. The control is a biaxial
joystick with proportional function, i.e. the
function is proportional with the deflec­
tion of the joystick. Move the joystick:
• Forwards to tilt the machine forwards. The two
rear pendulum arms move down and the two
front pendulum arms move up, thereby tilting
the machine forwards. This can be
advantageous when driving up a slope.
• Backwards to tilt the machine backwards. The
two rear pendulum arms move up and the two
front pendulum arms move down, thereby
tilting the machine backwards. This can be
advantageous when driving down a slope.
• To the right to tilt the machine to the right. The
right-hand pendulum arms move up and the
left-hand pendulum arms move down, thereby
tilting the machine to the right. This can be
advantageous when travelling across a slope.
• To the left to tilt the machine to the left. The
right-hand pendulum arms move down and the
left-hand pendulum arms move up, thereby
tilting the machine to the left. This can be
advantageous when travelling across a slope.
• Combine the above joystick combinations to tilt
the machine in the required direction.

4.4.7. Becoming stuck
If one or more wheels becomes stuck in mud, do not
increase the engine speed in order to attempt to free
the machine. This will generate excessive heat in the
hydraulic oil. The machine can generally be removed
from the mud without being towed. Employ the fol­
lowing procedure: Then driving on road mount a
SMV-sign (Slow Moving Vehicle) at the rear of the
machine.

as pumps. In order to allow the oil to pass through
the regular hydraulic oil pumps, the 4 pressure-
limiting valves on the transmisssion pumps must be
loosened. The transmissions pumps is the two first
pumps.
2. Activate the Disengage-function
1. Stop the engine.

4.7.1. General
If the machine has become disabled and cannot be
repaired on site, it must be towed to a location
where it can be repaired.

These towing instructions are for moving a disabled

machine a short distance at low speed. Move the
machine at a maximum speed of 2 km/h (1.2 mph)
to a convenient location for repair. These instructions
are only for emergencies. Always load the machine Fig. 59: Pressure-limiting valve
onto a haulage vehicle if it has to be transported a
long distance.
2. Open the four pressure-limiting valves by turning

are involved. Use a tow bar that is dimensioned to
tow at least 150% of the gross weight of the towing
machine. This applies in particular when pulling free
a machine that has become stuck in mud or when
towing up a slope.
Keep the tow bar’s angle to a minimum. Do not
exceed an angle of 30° from straight ahead.

Rapid machine movements could overload the tow

bar. This could cause the bar to break. Even, steady
machine movements are more effective.

The towing machine should normally be as large as

Fig. 60: Färdbromsar

brakes, known as negative brakes, in the travel
motors. The brakes are normally applied, and oil
pressure is required to release them.

the disabled machine. Make sure that the towing
machine has sufficient brake capacity, weight and
engine output. The towing machine must be able to
control both machines with regard to current incline
and distance.
Make sure that the towed machine can be controlled
and has sufficient braking capacity when towing
downhill. This may require a larger towing machine
or additional machines connected to the rear end of
the towed machine. This prevents the machine from
rolling away out of control.

Carefully disconnect the two hydraulic hoses on the
brake valve under the tank cover.
Connect an external hydraulic circuit to the two
hoses, and pressurise the system to 20 bar ±2 in
order to release the brakes.
4.7.3. When towing
The machine may only be towed using a tow bar
when the brake function is disengaged.
It is impossible to provide instructions for all towing
situations. Minimum power is required on even,
horizontal surfaces. Maximum towing machine
capacity is required on slopes and on poor quality
surfaces.
If necessary, contact your Eco Log service provider
regarding the equipment required for towing a dis­
abled machine.

The machine may only be connected at the front

hitch or the rear pendulum arms.

NOTE! Do not use the rear hitch for towing the ma­
chine, as the engine’s frame is not dimensioned for
this!

Shields must be provided on both machines. This

will protect the operator in the event the tow bar
should break.

The operator may not travel on the machine that is

being towed unless the operator can control the
steering and/or the brakes. The engine must be run­
ning and the hydraulic system must be intact for the
steering to work. The engine must be running and
the hydraulic system must be intact for the brake
system to work.

Before you tow the machine, make sure that the tow
bar is in good condition. Make sure that the tow bar
is sufficiently strong for the towing conditions that

6.5. Calibration of control levers
The output voltage from the levers is checked
against stored calibrated maximum and minimum
values. If the voltage from the potentiometer in the
lever, for any function, exceeds the calibrated max-
value or falls below the minimum value, IQAN will
warn about ”Joysticks outside calibration”. If this
happens often, a re-calibration may be needed.
Due to wear and tear, the properties of the levers
and potentiometers will change over time and a re-
calibration may be needed to store new maximum
and minimum values.
The lever calibration function is reached from the
joystick information page in the IQAN-display. To get
here, press F4 once (harvesters) from the main
operation display. To get to the calibration menu,
press the A button.
In the calibration menu, the output from the levers is
shown, both percent and voltage. The figures in
yellow show the stored calibrated minimum and
maximum values for all lever functions. By pushing a
lever to its end position, it is possible to compare the
current voltage to the calibrated voltage level and
see how ”close” to the calibrated value you get.
110
Instruction Manual

1. To calibrate the levers, press F1 while in this
menu. A message ”Calibration of levers - Do you
want to continue” is shown. Press F2 to abort
and F3 to continue.
If you continue, another message ”JS
Calibration - To calibrate press button F3 then
push all levers to min and max positions then
press set.” is shown. Confirm this message, and
now press the F3 button to start the calibration
function.
3. When the calibration function starts, all the
previously stored minimum and maximum
values are reset and all levers must be re-
calibrated. Push all levers to their end positions,
and for levers where it is possible, push them to
the ”corners” and activate several functions at a
time.Use a little more force than compared to
the regular handling of the levers. Also try to
gently rotate the crane levers around their axis
of rotation. The levers can not move like this, but
it can affect the potentiometers.
4. Carefully do this for all levers, if rushed, the
calibration may store values that are actually
worse than the previously stored values.
5. The newly calibrated maximum and minimum
values are stored while the function is active and
the currently stored values are shown in the
yellow figures on the right side in the display. By
watching these, it is possible to see if all
functions have been calibrated. When done,
push Set, F5 to store the calibrated values and
end the calibration function.

6.6. Warnings 6.6.2. Generel IQAN alerts

6.6.1. General
Warnings and error messages concerning different
systems may show up during operation of the ma­
chine. Via the “Help” function you can access inform­
ation about which measures should be taken. In the
event of a serious alert, the screen flashes in red
and a warning signal sounds. These alerts are seri­
ous and should be dealt with immediately.

There are four different types of alert messengers:

• General IQAN alerts.

This type of alert is generated by the IQAN program
• Diesel engine alerts. when certain conditions that are set in the program
are met.
• Sensor alerts.
In this example, the feed/charge pressure is below
• Current output alerts. 12 bar according to the sensor. This is considered
too low, and a condition to generate an alert has

levels of alarm types:
6.6.3. Diesel engine alerts
1. Alarm.

2. Critical.

3. Warning.

4. Error.

This type of alert is generated directly from the dies­

el engine’s control box. IQAN simply reads the alert
and generates an message. IQAN has no influence
over alert borders or sensitivity.
Below are examples of the different types of alerts.
The SPN and FMI numbers are shown in the mes­
sage. These numbers identify which component the
alert refers to and what the alert concerns. These
numbers should be noted when reporting about the
problem in order to facilitate trouble shooting. These
alerts will also make the “engine symbol” in the oper­
ation menu turn yellow or red depending on how ser­
ious the alert is. The function group refers to where
in the IQAN program the alert has been generated.

The alert text may also contain alert codes. If so is

the case, write them down so that they can be
checked and compared to a list.

This alert also lightens the engine signals on the Info

page (F5).

111
6. Control System IQAN Instruction Manual
550D/560D/570D/580D

6.6.4. Sensor alert - input out of calibration

area

This type of alert is generated by IQAN when the

voltage from a sensor input is outside the set calib­
ration parameters. The information in these alerts is
automatically generated from IQAN; the heading is
the name of the input that is faulty, the alert text spe­
cifies the nature of the problem of the input, and the
pin number refers to which pin on the specified mod­
ule the input is connected to.

6.6.5. Alert from current outputs

(proportional)

This type of alert is generated in case of a faulty cur­

rent output (proportional) when the function is activ­
ated. The alert is automatically generated by IQAN.

In this example the contact with the levelling module

has been lost.

Raising the bottom guard

1. Position the bottom guard under the machine.

Risk of personal injury! The winch has an auto­

matic brake function that only releases when the
crank handle is turned. The brake is applied again
when you stop turning the crank handle. Always
keep a firm grip on the handle when lowering or
raising the bottom guard, in case the brake mech­
anism fails. Failure to keep a firm grip on the winch
handle can allow it to spin rapidly under the weight
of the bottom guard. A freely spinning winch handle
can cause personal injury. If you lose your grip on
the handle, do not attempt to stop the spinning
handle.

Fig. 128: Install the two pulleys in the bottom guard

2. Install the two pulleys in the bottom guard, and

make sure that the cable is properly routed
around the pulleys.

The cab’s front window has a washer and wiper
mechanism. The wiper can be used to clean the
front window when rinsing or in the event of rain.
Rotate the cab so that each window faces the front
platform in turn, so that you can stand safely when
cleaning these windows. If necessary, use a
separate service platform or ladder in order to stand
and clean the windows safely.

1. Wash the windows thoroughly with a mixture of

lukewarm water and mild liquid detergent, such
as washing-up liquid or soap solution.

2. Then rinse the windows with copious amounts of

clean water.

3. Then wipe the windows with a soft, clean cloth.

4. Remove any resin, paint or similar stains with a

Fig. 131: Washer fluid reservoir
soft, clean cloth moistened with one of the
following solvents: Ethanol, Methanol, Butanol,
Pure isopropyl alcohol, White spirit, Heptane,
Light petrol, Butyl ethyl glycol, Hexane. Then
wash the window in accordance with points 1-3.

1. Make sure that the washer fluid reservoir is

always topped up. It contents 3 liters.The
reservoir is outside the cab on the right side of
the machine. Use a mixture of water and washer
fluid. The mixture ratio is determined by the
prevailing ambient temperature. Follow the
washer fluid manufacturer’s recommendations.

Fig. 132: Wiper blade

2. Ensure that the wiper blade is clean and intact.

Replace if necessary. Wash with copious
amounts of washer fluid before starting the

Oil filter hydraulic tank - Breathe

Breathing the filter housing should always be
performed after:

• Replacing the filter in the hydraulic tank.

• Using the vacuum pump.

It is important to breathe the tank in order to avoid

air being mixed into the hydraulic oil during
operation.

1. Start the diesel engine and let it idle.

2. Open the manual breathing valve (1) (pull the

valve down) on the cover of the filter tank in
order to let the air out of the filter housing.

3. Let the valve remain open until the oil reaches

the hose. Then close the valve (pull the valve
up) before the oil is pressed out into the hose. (If
the oil ceases to rise before it reaches the hose,
increase the engine Rpm in order to make the
oil level rise.)

4. Breathing of the filter housing is now complete!

NOTE! After a longer stop, check that the filter tank

is not empty!

If the filter tank is empty and lacks oil, breathe it

again. If it once again is empty after a longer stop,
there is an indication of a leakage between the filter
holder and hydraulic tank. This leakage must be
dealt with immediately!

The alarm stops when the fire is extinguished and
the detectors is cooled down. Open the plates and
hoods so that smoke and gases aired. Have a
portable fire extinguisher ready during airing. Do not
inhale combustion gases.
Clean the machine as soon as possible after fire by
high-pressure wash or rinse with water. Flush also
through pipe / hose system and make sure there is
free flow through the nozzles.
This work may be done only by trained personnel
who are familiar with firefighting design of the
facility or by an authorized service company for fire
extinguishing system. Restart the machine until fire
cause is determined and any errors are fixed.
Replacing the container may be made only by
personnel who are familiar with firefighting facility
construction and maintenance. Ideally, a company
authorized to servicing of fire-extinguishing
equipment is required.
Before replacement of containers is made, check
that no detector is mechanically damaged, and that
the central apparatus does not indicate breach on
the detector loop.
8.2.4. Before service and maintenance
The system must always be disconnected at the
following jobs. The system is disconnected by
removing the fuse to the Fire Protection System (see
chapter "", "" page XX):
• Steam washing: The heat detectors trigger at
120°C and can be activated by the steam.
• Pressure washing: Components and cables
can be damaged by the beam and trigger the
plant.
• Electric welding: High ground currents can
damage electronic components.
• Battery charge and auxilary starting: Damaging
currents can be formed.
Then the fuses is reconnected, check the functions
on the system as described for the weekly
inspection.

Sound Level Vibration Level

The equivalent continuous A-weighted sound pres­
sure level at the operator’s seat does not exceed 70
dB(A) in the following operating conditions:
Engine: 1400 rpm
Daily exposure rating A(8), normalised to a reference
period of 8 hours, A(8) = 0.5 m/s2. The measure­
ments are taken on a representative machine during
final felling according to the procedures specified in
the following standard:

Cab fan: Half-speed Vibration Directive 2004/44/EC regarding physical ef­

fect, vibrations.
The measurements are taken on a representative
machine according to the procedures specified in the The input value for full-body vibrations is determined
following standard: in the above directive as 0.5 m/s2. The limit value for
fully-body vibrations is determined as 1.15 m/s2.

9.12. Tightening torque

If no specific tightening torque is specified in this Operation and maintenance manual, the standard torque
relative to the strength class and dimension applies.

9.13. Oil and Fluids

9.13.1. General
The refill capacities are approximate. The precise volume is checked and adjusted relative to the sight glass,
dipstick, etc.

9.13.2. Engine
If diesel fuel with more than 0.3% sulphur is used, the interval for changing the engine oil must be halved! If
more than 0.8% sulphur is used, the interval must be reduced to 30%. Avoid condensate by keeping the fuel
tank topped up with fuel!

Concering coolant see enclosed engine manual “Specifications for Operating Fluids” in order to see which
coolants are approved when replacing or topping up.
