Chain Shot Guard Inspection
CAUTION: Serious injury or death can occur.
Harvester head can move unpredictably
during service procedures. Frame lock pin
must always be used during maintenance
or adjustment procedures.
The function of the chain shot guard (6) is to reduce the
risk of serious injury or death to operators and bystanders
from ying saw chain pieces. The chain shot guard must
be in place and structurally sound to absorb the energy
from a broken saw chain (1) and reduce the whip action
that causes a second break of the saw chain, ejecting
pieces of the cutting saw chain at high speed. For
additional information about saw chain shot, refer to Saw
Chain Hazard in the safety section of this manual.
Inspect chain shot guard daily or when saw chain
maintenance is performed.
Saw chain breaks are the primary cause of wear or
damage to chain shot guard.
The chain shot guard, cap screws, and hardware should
be replaced yearly or when excessively worn or damaged.
