3.4 General Safety Precautions

Timberjack Forestry Attachments’ policy is to produce
products that are safe and reliable. However, even when
using well engineered equipment, there will always be
an element of risk in heavy-duty equipment operation.
To minimize the risks and promote safety at all

times, this section of the Parts and Service Manual
details a number of safety rules which should
always be followed and obeyed.
Study all the safety messages in this manual and on

the felling head carefully.
You must be fully trained to operate this equipment.

Know the capabilities and the limitations of the
equipment. Learn the most efficient operating
techniques.
Do not let an untrained person operate the felling

head.
Use recommended protective clothing and safety

devices such as gloves, safety boots, safety hat,
goggles, and ear protection when necessary.
These safety rules highlight both general and

specific measures the operator should be familiar
with and adhere to. More specific measures are
illustrated with pictograms which may also be
attached to the
saw head in locations pertinent to their respective
message. Keep safety signs in good condition.
Repair or replace damaged signs.
WHEN IT COMES TO SAFETY, NOTHING WILL EVER

REPLACE A CAREFUL OPERATOR.
18STT3A1 3-3
Section 3

Wear a suitable hearing protective device such as
earmuffs or ear plugs to protect against noise.
Prolonged exposure to loud noise can cause
impairment or loss of hearing.
Inspect the saw blade disc for runout and teeth

condition for excessive wear or damage daily and
also immediately after hitting a rock or other foreign
material.
Check the blade daily for fatigue cracks.

NEVER REPAIR A BLADE BY WELDING.
Replace defective components immediately.
Check tooth fastener torque daily.
Keep a first aid kit in an easily accessible location at

all times.
3-4 18STT3A1
Section 3

Operate the felling head only when physically fit and
not under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Approach an area where overhanging electrical
powerlines are present with extreme caution.
Serious injury or death by electrocution can result if
the machine or any of its attachments are not kept at
a safe distance from these lines.
Inspect the felling head daily for signs of damage,

unusual wear, fatigue cracks or faulty operation. Maintain a distance of 10 ft (3 m) between the
machine or boom and any power line carrying up to
50,000 volts or less.

Make sure that other personnel remain at least 300 ft
(100 m) away from the felling head. Powerlines carrying more than 50,000 volts require a
safety distance of 10 ft (3 m) plus 1/2 inch (12.7 mm)
Never allow anyone to cross in front of the saw for each additional 1,000 volts above the 50,000 volt

3.6 Servicing Safety Precautions

When servicing or repairing equipment, shut the
engine down, and disconnect the negative (-) battery
cable from the battery, or install a lockout tag.
Before performing maintenance or repair work on

any equipment, consult the manufacturer’s
instruction manual and follow recommended
procedures.
WARNING
Hydraulic fluid under pressure can penetrate the
skin and cause serious personal injury, blindness,
or death. If any fluid is injected into the skin, it must
be surgically removed within a few hours by a
doctor familiar with treating this type of injury.
Fluid leaks under pressure may not be visible. When

searching for leaks, wear work gloves and use a piece
of cardboard or wood.
Never use your bare hands!
Wear safety goggles for eye protection.
Pressure can be maintained in a hydraulic system long

after the power source and pump have been shut down.
Lower the implements to the ground and relieve trapped
pressure before performing work on components, or
disconnecting any hoses.
18STT3A1 3-7
Section 3

Keep your hands, feet, head, and loose clothing away
from power driven parts.
Do not change any pressure or relief setting unless

authorized instruction has been obtained.
Install the blade guard and side plate over the

exhaust window when performing hydraulic checks
and blade speed adjustments.
Never work under the felling head when the head is

in a raised position.
Use the proper tool for the job. Repair or replace

worn or damaged tools including lifting equipment
immediately.
Use extreme caution when draining hot fluids.

Splashing hot fluid can cause serious burns.
3-8 18STT3A1
Section 3

Work in a ventilated area. If it is necessary to run an
engine in an enclosed area, use an exhaust pipe
extension to remove toxic exhaust fumes. Run the
engine only when it is necessary for testing or
adjustments.
If you don’t have an exhaust pipe extension,

either work outside, or open the shop doors.
Dispose of fluids properly. Do not pour fluids into

the ground, stream, pond or lake.
Before draining any fluids, know the proper way to

dispose of them.
Observe local environmental protection regulations

when disposing of filters, batteries, fuel, coolant, oil,
brake fluid, and other harmful waste.
18STT3A1 3-9
Section 3
3.7 Fire Prevention

When working in a forest environment, it is
impossible to prevent combustible debris from
collecting in tight corners of the machine. This
debris, in itself, may not cause a fire; however, when
mixed with fuel, oil, or grease in a hot or confined
place, the danger of fire is very much increased.
To reduce the chance of a fire starting, follow these

instructions:
• Clean dust and debris from the machine

regularly.
• Clean the radiator and oil cooler regularly to

ensure components are maintained at efficient
working temperatures.
• Inspect the machine daily for potential fire

hazards and make any necessary repairs
immediately.
• Inspect electrical wiring and connections, fuel

and hydraulic hose runs to ensure they are
secure and not rubbing against other
components.
• Clean up any excess grease and oil

accumulation and spillage immediately.
• Use only nonflammable solutions for cleaning

the machine or components.
• Store rags and other combustible materials in a

safe, fireproof location.
• Before starting repair work, such as welding,

the surrounding area should be cleaned and a
fire extinguisher should be close by.
• Maintain a charged fire extinguisher on the

vehicle at all times and KNOW HOW TO USE IT.

an adapter plate and coupled to the driveshaft by a
splined coupler.
Pump
Hydraulic oil for the saw drive is supplied by a machine
mounted pump.
Control Valve
Flow from the pump is directed to motor port ‘B’ via a
machine mounted control valve.
Refer to Carrier Operator Manual for pump and control

valve description.
Bypass Check Valve

(free wheel check valve)
This valve is installed in a parallel circuit with the motor
between the high pressure and return hydraulic lines. Oil
is blocked from going to the tank during normal
operation. When the engine rpm drops due to hydraulic
loads, if the engine stalls, or if the saw motor is shut off
while the blade is rotating, then return oil will open the
check valve and allow oil to go to the pressure side of
the motor. This bypassing oil prevents the motor from
cavitating.

Section 5
Operation 10/1997
5.1 Basic Operation
WARNING
Nothing can replace adequate training of those in
the logging woods who work on or near feller
bunchers. While feller bunchers have been a
tremendous addition to mechanized logging and
have made logging a much safer occupation, it is
imperative that those working on or near feller
bunchers realize that a feller buncher is a
dangerous piece of equipment that MUST be
respected. Those on the ground working near feller
bunchers MUST maintain a safe working distance
(at least 300 feet) from the feller buncher
and must follow all other instructions provided on
and with the feller buncher and felling head. The
use and operation of the saw head for any other
purpose than stated in the Operator’s Manual is not
recommended nor approved by
Timberjack/Koehring Waterous.
5.1.1 Principle Of Operation

Koehring Waterous disc saw felling heads are based on
a concept of continuous high speed blade motion for
felling trees. The felling head is powered through the
tree, then clamps the tree(s) to the head after the cutting
is complete.
Depending on the felling head model and carrier

application, felling is accomplished by:
1. Machine travel “Drive to Tree” mounted on front end

carrier applications, or
2. “Swing to Tree” by using a combination of stick, tilt

and hoist control functions.
5.1.2 Blade Feeding Speed

A general rule of thumb is approximately 2 feet/second
feed speed.
Feeding too slowly will cause unnecessary blade friction

and stall down.
Feeding too quickly may result in fibre pull or damage to

the tree stem on the exit side.
5-2 18STT5A1
Section 5
10/1997 Operation
5.1 Basic Operation
5.1.3 General Method Of Operation

1. Position the felling head tilted slightly forward (5°)
when approaching the tree.
Note!
Ensure the disc saw blade is at sufficient operating
speed.
2. Make sure the felling head is in line with the tree.

Most felling heads that are installed on a boom can
be lined up using the wrist control.
3. Feed the disc saw blade through the tree in a

smooth continuous motion.
4. As the cut is being made, begin to close both sets of

clamp arms. Immediately after the cut is complete,
close the clamp arms tightly.
Important!
Do not clamp the tree until after the cut is complete.
Do not hold the clamp arm controls in the energized
position after the arms are fully closed.
5. Once the tree is completely severed, raise the felling

head off the stump to avoid blade stall down.
18STT5A1 5-3
Section 5
Operation 10/1997
5.1 Basic Operation
5.1.4 Stopping The Disc Saw Blade

The disc saw blade will continue to “free-wheel” for
several minutes after being shut off.
When it is necessary to stop the blade quickly, carefully

lower the disc onto a stump. The disc saw blade can be
brought to a complete stop in a matter of seconds.

5-6 18STT5A1
Section 5
10/1997 Operation

5.2.2 Cutting the Tree
Tilt the tree back slightly to get the centre of gravity
closer to the centre of the machine for improved tree
control. If necessary, the booms can be retracted to
swing the load in as short a space as possible.
Feather the boom controls to prevent sudden jerks

or stops that could damage the equipment.
Tilt the felling head forward 45o, open the clamps

and release the tree.
Important!
Tilting the felling head further than 45o forward with the
tree in the felling head could result in damage to the tilt
cylinder.
Do not push the tree into position.
Hard impacts on the tree will damage the head and

booms.

(2) and set the indicator to “0".
18STT6A3 6 - 41
Section 6

7. Release the upward pressure on the saw driveshaft
either by lowering the jack or, if a stump is being
used, lift the saw head slightly with the feller buncher.
The driveshaft should drop by the amount of end

play between the bearings. This end play will show
on the dial indicator.
If the driveshaft does not move, use a pry bar

between the blade and the housing to lower the
shaft.
DANGER
8. Rotate the disc saw blade back and forth slowly by

hand to get a correct dial indicator reading.
Correct bearing end play range is .004" to .006".

If the indicator reading is less than .004", or more
than .006", adjustment is required.
6 - 42 18STT6A3

Adjustment Procedure
9. Use a floor jack and push shaft upwards and remove

the splined coupling adapter.
10. Using a soapstone, mark the position of the nut (2)

relative to one of the splines on the driveshaft.
The soapstone mark must be on both the nut and

the spline.
11. Tighten the nut so that the soapstone mark moves.

One spline will reduce the end play approximately
.003".
Calculate how much end play must be removed.

Then, using a punch, alternately drive bearing (3)

The cord (column A) and cubic meters stacked (column C) measure “apparent” volume.
The cunit (column B) and cubic meter solid (column D) measure “solid” volume.
Accurate conversions are possible between columns A and C, and between B and D only.
Any other conversions are approximate and wood volume will vary with tree species, size, etc.
Example:
1 cunit (column B) = exactly 2.832 solid meters (Column D)
1 cord (column A) = approximately 2.407 solid cubic meters (Column D)
*FBM is the abbreviation of 1 Board Ft. (Foot Board Measure).
