SAFETY OPERATING
CABIN PROTECTIVE STRUCTURES
Cabin is tested according to international ROPS,
FOPS and OPS standards.
Do not operate the machine with the door open,
secondary exit open or any of the safety covers
or protective devices removed.
It is important to keep the operator protective
structure in place (doors, screens, windows,
windshield, etc.) to minimize hazards from
whipping or intruding objects.
The protection offered by ROPS, FOPS and OPS
will be impaired if cabin
is subjected to structural damage
is involved in an overturn incident
is in any way altered by welding, bending,
drilling, or cutting
To maintain ROPS, FOPS and OPS protection,
replace damaged cabin parts immediately. A
damaged structure should be replaced, not
reused. It is forbidden to modify the window
fastening.
Following issues must be considered when the
machine is used or equipped for other purpose
than it is designed for by the manufacturer:
Overall weight of the machine without load
(towed equipment and any load excluded) must
not exceed the maximum weight defined for the
cabin and mentioned below the machine type
plate (ROPS-weight, Roll Over Protection
Structure). Contact manufacturer’s
representative to clarify the demands of the
ROPS standard when necessary.
If the machine’s center of gravity is changed
due to machine buildup the maneuverability of
the machine will also change and does not
necessarily correspond to the original demands
determined by the manufacturer.
The manufacturer can not guarantee machine
safety if the machine has been used contrary to
the operator’s instructions given or has been
equipped with accessories not approved by the
manufacturer.
NOTE: An optional heavy duty window guard is
recommended for operations in late thinning and
regeneration felling sites.

The machine can be equipped with an optional
extra extinguisher. The extra extinguisher is
located in the bumper box on the left side of the 6-
wheel rear frame (2) or in the box next to the
cooler package of the 8-wheel rear frame (3).
The hand-held extinguishers are intended for
minor fires and final extinguishing after the
sprinkler system has been triggered.
Hand-held fire extinguishers can be used through
the holes that are bordered with the extinguisher
decals.
IMPORTANT: The fire extinguishers must be
checked, serviced and stamped by an authorized
dealer.
NOTE: On certain markets fire insurance terms
stipulate that fire extinguishers must be checked
after every six months. Contact your insurance
company for all the details.
AFTER A FIRE
The alarm stops when the fire is put out and the
detectors have cooled down. Open ventilation
hatches so that smoke and fumes can be vented.
NOTE: Wait at least 30 minutes to let the machine
cool down before opening any covers or the
engine hood.
NOTE: Have a portable fire extinguisher ready
when airing the machine.
NOTE: Avoid breathing in fumes from the fire.
Clean the machine with water as soon as
possible after a fire.
Restoring the machine after a fire: Contact
service personnel to identify the cause of the fire
and to restore the fire extinguishing system.

SAFETY MAINTENANCE
REFUELING AND SERVICING FUEL
SYSTEM
Never fill the fuel tank with the engine running.
Secure, that there is anybody smoking nearby or
there is no an open flame.
Avoid overfilling the tank or spilling fuel. If fuel is
spilled, clean it up immediately.
Do not too high pressure to the fuel tank or fuel
lines. The fuel system components can be
damaged with potential dangerous consequences
if pressurized beyond the limits.
DISPOSE OF WASTE PROPERLY
Improperly disposing of waste can threaten the
environment and ecology. Potentially harmful
waste used with equipment include such items as
oil, fuel, coolant, brake fluid, filters, and batteries.
Use leak proof containers when draining fluids.
Do not pour waste onto the ground or down a
drain.
Government regulations may require a certified
air conditioning service center to recover and
recycle used air conditioning refrigerants.
Inquire on the proper way to recycle or dispose of
waste from your local environmental or recycling
center, or from your authorized dealer.
SAFETY DECAL LOCATIONS
The safety decals are attached to the machine. When you see these symbols on your machine, be aware
to avoid personal injury.
Follow recommended precautions and safe operating practices.
There can be additional safety information contained on parts and components sourced from suppliers
that is not reproduced in this operator's manual.

MACHINE SYSTEMS AND COMPONENTS ELECTRIC SYSTEM
FUSES AND RELAYS
The electrical system of an E-model harvester contains dozens of fuses and relays. They are mainly
located on circuit boards in the front carriage fuse box and in the cabin. There are also some on the rear
switch panel and in the wiring harnesses.
The current from the battery to all equipment in the front and rear carriages is supplied through main fuses
located on the main switch panel.
Fuses protect the system against the effects of short-circuits or other kinds of overloads. In case of
overload, a fuse breaks the electric circuit preventing the components from overheating, melting or
burning.
Relays are electromechanical switches. The function of a relay is based on an electromagnet. With
relays it is possible to control higher currents and voltages with lower control voltage, and they are used
to control various functions in harvesters.

CONTROLS DRIVING CONTROLS
SAFETY SWITCHES AND EMERGENCY STOP
1. Cabin door is equipped with a door switch. The switch has two different operating principles:
When the machine is moving and the door is opened the machine keeps moving normally. Once
the acceleration pedal is lifted up, a new pedal press will have no effect. The machine will not
accelerate and will therefore stop. If the drive pedal is held down and the door is closed the pedal
and machine will operate normally.
The machine cannot be driven if the cabin door is opened while the machine is stationary. The
parking brake is engaged and the machine’s functions disabled. When the door is open the
steering, transmission, boom and cabin rotating and levelling are disabled. After the door is closed
driving is not permitted until the driving direction has been set to neutral and the acceleration pedal
has been released.
2. If the stairs do not extend fully, a warning will appear on the display and the machine cannot be moved.
Before raising or lowering the stairs, check that they are able to move freely.
3. If the emergency stop is activated the engine will stop, all functions of the machine will terminate, and
the parking brake will be engaged. The emergency stop can be released by turning the knob.
4. On-road driving switch. The switch must be on to activate on-road driving equipment. When the switch
is on the cabin can not be rotated or boom can not be activated.
NOTE: When a new software version of the Timbermatic is installed to the machine’s PC the on-
road driving safety mode is automatically on. To reset the on-road mode contact authorized service
personnel.

CONTROLS LIGHTS AND WIPERS
WORK LIGHTS
The harvester’s work lights include the front, rear and tree top lights on the cabin (1), the thinning lights
(2) on the front carriage and the boom lights (3).
Different combinations for which work lights of the cabin are on at the same time can be configured in the
cabin conditions menu (4) in TimberMatic H-09™. It is possible to make four different light combinations,
which are utilized with the upper light button (5) on the right arm rest panel.
The boom lights are controlled using the middle light button (6) on the arm rest panel. The boom lights can
be utilized only when the boom is activated in TimberMatic H-09™.
The thinning lights are operated using the bottom light button (7) of the arm rest panel.

CONTROLS AIR CONDITIONER
DEFROST MODE
This mode is used to de-ice, defrost, or defog the windows by pressing the key with the defrost icon. A
panel indicator light indicates when this mode is active.
In certain cold or humid conditions, more heat and airflow is required to clear the windows. The set point
temperature and the blower speed should be adjusted as necessary to maintain a clear windshield at all
times. For maximum defrost, set the temperature control to 90°F (32°C) as indicated by “HI” on the
control panel display, and turn the blower fan speed to maximum fan.
The air conditioner is enabled when in a defrost mode. The A/C is used to dehumidify the air entering the
cab to remove the fog from the windshield.
The fresh/recirc door is forced to a 50% fresh position in defrost mode unless the fresh/recirc door is
already set in the fresh position, then the fresh/recirc door will not be affected. Fresh air is used to help
remove the fog from the windshield.
The fan speed is set to be at least 50% while in defrost mode. If the fan speed is higher than 50%, then it
will not be affected. If manual fan speed mode is used, the system will remain at 50% fan speed after the
defrost mode is de-activated.
NOTE: Selecting defrost may override previous settings for A/C or RECIRC. When the defrost mode is
de-selected, the system will return to previously selected modes.

OPERATING THE MACHINE ENGINE
IMPORTANT: If the key switch is released before the engine starts, turn key to stop position, wait
until the starter and the engine stop turning before trying again. This will prevent possible damage to
the starter and/or flywheel.
NOTE: Some machines may require a computer reset prior to operation (after engine ignition).
COLD WEATHER STARTING
NOTE: When the temperature drops below 5°C (41°F) we strongly recommend that you use the pre-
heating (if equipped) of the engine coolant 1/2 — 1 hour before starting the engine.
When the temperature is below 0°C (32°F) the engine is basically started as normally but once started
you may, where necessary, press the accelerator pedal slightly to assure that the engine remains
running. Do not exceed 1200 rpm.
CAUTION: Do not use starting fluid near fire, sparks, or flames. Do not incinerate or puncture a starting
fluid container.
AFTER STARTING
After starting, operate the engine for 2 - 4 minutes at approximately 1200 rpm before full loads are
applied. Extend this period 2 - 4 minutes when operating at temperatures below freezing.
Avoid any unnecessary strain on the hydrostatic power transmission. Therefore, do not operate the
engine at speeds beyond 1400 rpm before the hydraulic oil has warmed up. When the hydraulic oil is still
cold, too high an engine speed results, among other things, in excessive pressure in the pumps and
motors. This may inflict damage on shaft packing etc.
Do not idle engine more than 5 minutes (during brake-in period more than 2 minutes). Carbon deposits will
appear in the engine and the lubrication of various components will not be efficient.
NOTE: The engine meets emission standards with an exhaust gas recirculation system and a variable
geometry turbocharger. Turbocharger rpm varies for an instant after starting, as the variable geometry
turbocharger recycles. Also, the exhaust gas recirculation valve will cycle periodically with a momentary
loss of engine rpm.
NOTE: When coolant temperature is above 111°C (231°F) engine will reduce power automatically.
Stop engine immediately if there are any following signs of engine part failure:
Sudden drop in oil pressure
Abnormal coolant temperatures
Unusual noise or vibration
Sudden loss of power
Excessive black exhaust
Excessive fuel consumption
Excessive oil consumption
Fluid leaks
NOTE: Never turn off the main switch while the engine is running (with the exception of a potential
emergency).

OPERATING THE MACHINE BOOM AND HARVESTER HEAD
AFTER USING THE BOOM
Carry out the last movements unloaded.
When you drive the machine make sure that the boom does not make any sudden movements. Move the
harvester head close to the machine when driving.
Never leave the boom unsupported by relying on the hydraulic system only. Secure the harvester head by
means of a chain for long drives to other working sites. Lock the harvester head tilt if needed. Bring the
booms down and position the harvester head on the ground even for short breaks, and always before
leaving the cab.
AT THE END OF THE WORK DAY
1. Clean the machine. Inspect all covered compartments, including engine bay, belly plates etc. It is
particularly important to clean the machine in the winter because snow and debris easily gets stuck to
the machine.
2. Inspect the cabin protective structure including doors, windows, windshield, etc. It is important to
replace broken or cracked windows immediately to minimize hazards from whipping or intruding objects.
3. Make sure that there are no defects or leaks. Check the machine in daylight. Repair any defects found
or contact the service personnel.
4. Renew oils and grease (if necessary) the machine while it is still warm.
5. Check the tightness and mounting of the possible chains.
6. Lock the cab door.
7. Turn off the main switch. If the machine is equipped with an automatic fire extinguishing system, the
system will be engaged when the main switch is turned off.
8. If the machine is intended to leave for extended period of time (e.g. longer transportation or service
interval) read instructions Preparing machine for storage.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS
IMPORTANT: Do not use cooling system sealing additives or antifreeze that contains sealing additives.
IMPORTANT: Do not mix ethylene glycol and propylene glycol base coolants.
NOTE: Do not use coolants that contain nitrites.
WATER QUALITY
Water quality is important to the performance of the cooling system. Distilled, deionized, or demineralized
water is recommended for mixing with ethylene glycol and propylene glycol base engine coolant
concentrate. Water used in the cooling system should meet the following minimum specifications for
quality:
chlorides < 40 mg/l
sulfates < 100 mg/l
total dissolved solids < 340 mg/l
total hardness < 170 mg/l
pH 5.5 to 9.0
SUPPLEMENTAL COOLANT ADDITIVES
Some coolant additives will gradually deplete during engine operation. For John Deere COOL-GARD™
Premix, COOL-GARD™ Concentrate, or COOL-GARD™ PG Premix, replenish coolant additives between
drain intervals by adding supplemental coolant additive as determined necessary by coolant testing. John
Deere LIQUID COOLANT CONDITIONER is recommended as supplemental coolant additive. John Deere
LIQUID COOLANT CONDITIONER is an additive system designed to reduce corrosion, erosion, and
pitting when used with nitrite-containing diesel engine coolants such as all John Deere COOL-GARD™
products. Maintaining John DeereCOOL-GARD™ coolants with John Deere LIQUID COOLANT
CONDITIONER provides optimum protection for up to 5 years or 5000 hours of operation.
NOTE: John Deere LIQUID COOLANT CONDITIONER is not designed for use with COOL-GARD™ 2
Premix or COOL-GARD™ 2 Concentrate.
IMPORTANT: Do not add a supplemental coolant additive when the cooling system is drained and
refilled.
If other coolants are used, consult the coolant supplier and follow the manufacturer’s recommendation for
use of supplemental coolant additives. Add the supplemental coolant additive according to the
manufacturer’s recommendation. Do not add more than the recommended amount.
Use of non-recommended supplemental coolant additives may result in additive drop-out and gelation of
the coolant.
OPERATION IN EXTREMELY WARM TEMPERATURE CLIMATES
John Deere engines are designed to operate using glycol base engine coolants.
IMPORTANT: Always use a recommended glycol base engine coolant, even when operating in
geographical areas where freeze protection is not required.
John Deere COOL-GARD™ 2 Premix is available in concentration of 50% ethylene glycol. However,
there are situations in warm temperature climates where a coolant with lower glycol concentration
(approx. 20% ethylene glycol) has been approved. In these cases, the low glycol formulation has been
modified to provide the same level of corrosion inhibitor as COOL-GARD™ 2 Premix.
Water may be used as coolant in EMERGENCY SITUATIONS only. Foaming, hot surface aluminum, iron
corrosion, scaling and cavitation will occur when water is used as the coolant, even when coolant
conditioners are added. Drain cooling system and refill with recommended glycol base engine coolant as
soon as possible.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE HYDRAULIC PRESSURE MEASUREMENTS
A11 MAIN PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE
Check the correct pressure setting from the table below:
1270E 6W 35 MPa ± 1 MPa (5076 ± 145 psi)
1270E 8W 37 MPa ± 1 MPa (5336 ± 145 psi)
1470E CH8 with 36 MPa drive pressure relief
valves 35 MPa ± 1 MPa (5076 ± 145 psi)
1470E CH8 with 38 MPa drive pressure relief
valves 37 MPa ± 1 MPa (5366 ± 145 psi)
1470E CH9 35 MPa ± 1 MPa (5076 ± 145 psi)
IMPORTANT: The drive pressure relief valves in the drive valve block are factory-adjusted to 36 MPa or
38 MPa. The pressure setting is stamped to the drive pressure relief valve. Do not to adjust these
valves.
The purpose of the main pressure relief valve (286) is to eliminate pressure peaks from the system.
1. Connect a 40 MPa pressure gauge to the measuring point (344/MP) on the LS valve block.
2. Start the diesel engine.
3. Open the cabin door so that the door switch is in open position during the test. This ensures that the
harvester head pressure lines stay closed.
4. Open the Timbermatic service lock.
5. Go to page 4.5.C.2.
6. Choose A11 pump.
7. Set the current to proportional valve to maximum.
8. Start the test and then increase work pressure by turning the adjustment screw (1) of the A11 pump LS-
pressure relief valve clockwise, until the diesel engine sound changes because of the load. Check that
the pressure is correct according to the table above.
9. Close the test.
10. If the pressure relief setting is not correct:
Open the locknut of the pressure relief valve adjustment screw (286) located in the main valve
block and tighten the screw one full turn.
Start the test again and adjust the work pressure to the value on the table above by using the
adjustment screw (1) of the LS-pressure relief valve.
Continue the test and loosen the main pressure relief adjustment screw (286), until hissing sound
can be heard from the valve.
Tighten the adjustment screw (286) until the hissing sound stops. The valve is now set to the same
value as LS-pressure relief valve. Tighten the locknut and close the test.
NOTE: If the harvester head pressure relief valve needs to be checked, it is convenient to do now
when the TimberMatic settings have been temporarily increased.
11. Maximum drive pressures must now be adjusted in order to return the adjustment screw (1) to correct
position. See instruction for setting maximum drive pressure.
NOTE: Work pressure can also been seen in the Timbermatic page 2.1.C.1. Pressure A = forward drive
and pressure B = reverse drive. If the pressure is checked from here, the test must be started again
after every adjustment made, because the Timbermatic does not monitor the pressure changes.
