1.1 Foreword
To assist the operator in becoming familiar with the many features of the 360 and 460 Series Skidders, and thereby
become proficient in the operation and periodic maintenance procedures, this manual is provided with detailed
operation and service instructions as well as safety information and equipment data.
Throughout this manual, references are made to the front, rear, left and right side of the vehicle. Consider the engine
as at the front of the machine and determine the left and right hand sides from a seated position in the operator’s
seat facing the engine.
Where applicable, throughout the text, "Safety Alert" symbols have been used to indicate important
safety measures. Read carefully, understand, and follow these instructions to prevent hazardous
situations that could lead to risk of personal injury.
The instructions and procedures in this manual cover the Cummins powered Model 360 and 460 Series Skidders
with the most commonly used options; therefore pictorial presentation in some areas may vary slightly from the actual
machine. This variation, however, does not have any impact on the accuracy of the written information.
The information contained in this manual is current at the time of publication; however, continuing product
improvement may result in changes to the machine which are not covered. Should information regarding such
changes or and further information on the vehicle be required, please contact your Timberjack Inc. dealer.

1.3 Modifications or Repairs to Roll-over Protective

Structures (ROPS)
Modification of any kind, to the basic ROPS structure, its mounting, the chassis to which it is attached, or the type
and position of the operator’s seat could affect the integrity of the ROPS and its ability to provide the designed level
of protection.
IT IS TIMBERJACK INC. POLICY THAT ANY SUCH MODIFICATION AUTOMATICALLY VOIDS THE APPLICABLE
CERTIFICATION FOR APPROVAL
OF THE ROPS
The only exceptions to this are:
a) Officially released, Timberjack Inc. approved changes or options carried out in the Factory approved manner; or
b) Modifications or repairs approved in writing by the Timberjack Inc. Manager of Engineering or the Timberjack
Inc. Product Support Manager carried out in the Factory approved manner.
NO OTHER PERSONS ARE AUTHORIZED TO GIVE SUCH APPROVAL.
The Roll-over Protective Structure (ROPS) is comprised of:

1. The canopy weldment exclusive of all doors, screens or other miscellaneous panels which are installed or
attached to the weldment.
2. The brush sweeps.
3. All mounting hardware used to attach the canopy weldment and brush sweeps to the machine
structures.
Timberjack Inc. disclaims responsibility for any situation that may arise as a result of unauthorized modification or
repair to these structures
If any customer or Timberjack Inc. distributor modifies or repairs, or contributes in any way to unauthorized
modification or repair, the customer or distributor will be deemed to have assumed the risk involved with such
modification or repair or are negligent in creating a dangerous situation resulting from such action.
Most North American regulatory bodies allow manufacturers to certify their products providing they are able to
demonstrate that they can satisfy all the design and test criteria specified in the appropriate S.A.E. Recommended
Practices.
Timberjack Inc. follows a procedure of design and test and then certifies its product by means of a certification plate
attached to the structure, listing the Recommended Practices to which it conforms.
ROPS are designed both to withstand force and absorb energy during a roll-over or when resisting the impact of a
falling object. If any 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.
1-4 O3601D1
1.3 Modifications or Repairs to Roll-over Protective

Structures (ROPS)
The mounting and the frame or chassis to which the cab or canopy is attached is considered an integral part of the
ROPS and is included in the design, test and certification of the product.
Also critical is the location of the operator within the cab or canopy, therefore the location and type of operator’s seat
is included in the certification.
The Roll-over Protective Structures (ROPS) are designed and tested to conform with the requirements of:
S.A.E. J1040 - May 1994, ISO 8082:1984 for ROPS and the requirements of:
S.A.E. J231 - Jan. 1981, ISO 8083:1989 for FOPS (Falling Object Protective Structures).
The Operator Protective Structure (OPS) is designed and tested to conform to the requirements of:
S.A.E. J1084 - April 1980, ISO 8084:1993.
The Operator Protect Structure is comprised of:

1. The canopy weldment.
2. All doors, panels, screens and glazing (not covered by screens) which are attached to the canopy surfaces
exterior to the machine.
Before attempting any modifications or repair to roll-over protective structures, contact the Service Department at
Timberjack Inc., Woodstock for advice and assistance.

5.1.7 Operating the Driving Controls:

Using the Transmission Declutch Switch
The purpose of the declutch switch is to permit

attachment operation (winch or grapple) without having
to shift the transmission controller to neutral.
When the declutch switch is "ON", power from the

transmission to the axle drive train is disconnected
whenever the service brake is applied and the skidder
speed is below 3 mph (5 km/hr).
The Declutch Indicator on the instrument panel will flash

when the Declutch is engaged.
IMPORTANT:
Turn the declutch switch "OFF" when using the engine
for downhill braking or when "inching" the skidder into
position for loading.
Using the Differential Lock
The Differential Lock should normally be "OFF"

(unlocked symbol) and only switched "ON" (locked
symbol) when additional traction is required on the rear
wheels.
The Differential Lock Indicator will light up when the lock

is switched "ON".
The Differential Lock can be switched "ON" or "OFF"

while the skidder is moving by momentarily lifting your
foot off the accelerator before pushing the switch.
Avoid switching the Differential Lock "ON" if one of the

rear wheels is spinning.

Using the Parking/Secondary Brake:
The parking/secondary brake is applied by pushing the

button in. The brake indicator light will come on when
the brake is applied. The brake is normally used for
parking or when the skidder is left unattended.
If used as a secondary brake (in the event of a service

brake failure), braking action will be sudden and
immediate.
When the brake is on, the transmission is shifted to

neutral. After the brake is released, the transmission
controller must pass through the neutral position before
the skidder will move in the requested direction.
Pull the button out to release the parking brake.
WARNING
Before leaving the skidder unattended, always lower
the dozer blade and grapple to the ground, engage
the parking brake, place the transmission in neutral,

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).
