The most common problem is a bad ground. It is recommended that both leads on the switch

harness are connected directly to the battery terminals.

Begin with the 22 ft harness that has the plug mating with the wire plug that comes from the shear

Start at the couplings and follow the hydraulic lines into the engine compartment, to an area close to the

source of power (battery). You might have more wire than you need, so coil up extra and tie out of the way.

Tie switch to lever and feed the 12 ft harness into engine compartment connecting to a 12-volt power source

(Red Positive + Black Negative -). If you feed wire through rubber grommets around control levers make

sure wire is not pinched when using your levers. Plug switch harness into harness that was left near

your power source. Test tilt action. If you have any problems check all connections.

OK CUT: Blade cuts perpendicular to wood grain,but frame is not squared to the axis of the tree.

AVOID THIS CUT: Frame and blade are skewed tothe axis of the tree. Blade damage will occur.

Recommended Cutting Technique

AVOID THIS CUT: (Closeup view). Notice that thewood grain will catch the blade and pull it out of plane.As this happens the frame will rotate and the blade willnot pocket correctly. Blade damage and an incompletecut will result.

IDEAL CUT: Shear frame and blade are squaredto the axis of the tree. Wood grain is cut cleanly.

Rev�0� � Page�1�of�7��

Felling�trees,�regardless�of�the�method�used,�involves�certain�risks�which�must�be�identified,�evaluated,�and�mitigated.��Properly�used,�tree�shears�can�be�among�the�safest,�cleanest,�and�efficient�ways�to�cut�trees.��OSHA�regulates�logging�operations�under�29�CFR�1910.266,�and�it�is�worthwhile�to�review�and�understand�those�rules�even�if�you�are�simply�using�your�tree�shear�to�remove�a�tree�in�your�yard.��You�can�find�them�at�www.osha.gov�on�the�Internet�by�using�their�search�function�to�look�for�“1910.266”�once�the�OSHA�web�site�loads.�

Your�safety�is�of�prime�concern�to�Sidney�Manufacturing,�and�to�help�you�understand�your�tree�shear�and�to�operate�it�safely,�we�have�published�the�recommendations�in�this�manual.��If�you�have�any�questions�or�comments,�we�are�available�to�take�your�call�(866�567�9618)�and�are�interested�in�assisting�you.�

Preparing�to�use�a�tree�shear�

Preparation�is�essential�to�avoiding�or�minimizing�what�may�otherwise�become�a�dangerous�situation.��Please�consider�the�following:�

1. Inspect�your�machine�according�to�the�manufacturer’s�recommendations�for�items�such�as:�a. Tire�pressure�b. Proper�fluid�levels�c. Damage�d. Ensure�that�ROPS/FOPS�and�operator�protection�complies�with�standards�for�forestry�use.�

2. Inspect�your�tree�shear�using�the�inspection�schedule�in�this�manual.�3. Provide�a�properly�serviced�fire�extinguisher�on�the�machine.�4. Consider�bringing�the�following�items�into�the�cab�of�the�machine�while�operating�the�shear:�

a. Communication�device�(cell�phone,�2�way�radio,�CB,�etc.)�b. First�aid�kit�(see�kit�contents�guide�in�this�manual)�c. Ensure�that�these�items�are�securely�stowed�and�cannot�interfere�with�machine�controls�

5. Personal�protective�equipment�may�be�required.��Felled�trees�often�have�sharp�edges,�tripping�hazards,�and�unstable�surfaces.�

a. Steel�toed�boots�b. Work�gloves�c. Safety�glasses�d. Perform�a�Hazard�Assessment�to�determine�if�further�PPE�is�needed�

6. Sidney�Manufacturing�recommends�working�with�a�spotter�to�increase�situational�awareness.��During�cutting,�the�spotter�must�not�be�closer�to�the�machine�than�2�times�the�height�of�the�tree.��Leave�more�room�if�the�terrain�or�other�conditions�may�cause�the�tree�to�roll�or�slide.�

The�first�aid�kit�information�below�was�directly�obtained�from�OSHA�regulations.��Having�a�kit�available�at�the�job�site�is�required�by�OSHA�for�logging�operations�and�is�highly�recommended�by�Sidney�Manufacturing.�

�

The following list sets forth the minimally acceptable number and type of first-aid supplies for first-aid kits required under paragraph (d)(2) of the logging standard. The contents of the first-aid kit listed should be adequate for small work sites, consisting of approximately two to three employees. When larger operations or multiple operations are being conducted at the same location, additional first-aid kits should be provided at the work site or additional quantities of supplies should be included in the first-aid kits:

1. Gauze pads (at least 4 x 4 inches). 2. Two large gauze pads (at least 8 x 10 inches). 3. Box adhesive bandages (band-aids). 4. One package gauze roller bandage at least 2 inches wide. 5. Two triangular bandages. 6. Wound cleaning agent such as sealed moistened towelettes. 7. Scissors.8. At least one blanket. 9. Tweezers.10. Adhesive tape. 11. Latex gloves. 12. Equipment such as resuscitation bag, airway, or pocket mask. 13. Two elastic wraps. 14. Splint. 15. Directions for requesting emergency assistance.
