(5) "DELIMB - OPEN" - Press this button in order to open the delimbing knives. When the button is released the delimbing knives will close.
Note: Buttons (1), (2), or (5) can be used when the feed rollers can not feed a tree through the harvester head. Press the button in order to momentarily release the pressure on the tree and allow the tree to begin feeding through the harvester head.
(6) "STEERING - LEFT" - Press this button in order to steer a wheel harvester to the left. This button is not used when the harvester head is mounted on an excavator.
(7) "STEERING - RIGHT" - Press this button in order to steer a wheel harvester to the right. This button is not used when the harvester head is mounted on an excavator.
(8) "PULP" - When this button is pressed, the log will be cut to a length of number "11" in the "Preselections Table".
(9) "STOP" - Press this button in order to stop the tree from feeding through the harvester head. This button can be held down while the "FEED FORWARD" or the "FEED REVERSE" is pressed in order to activate the crawl speed. The "STOP" button also has the same functionality as the "SHIFT" button. Button (9) can be programmed to "STOP" or to "PAUSE".
(10) "CUT" - The function of this button differs when the harvester head is in the VERTICAL position and the HORIZONTAL position.
VERTICAL Position
Manual Felling - For manual felling, briefly press the "CUT" button. Then press and hold the button. The saw will cut until the button is released. The saw will automatically release when the button is released.
Automatic Felling - For automatic felling, press and hold the "CUT" button. The saw will cut far enough in order to cut through the tree. Then, the saw stops and the saw returns.
HORIZONTAL Position
When the "CUT" button is pressed the saw operates in one of the following modes:
- Manual cutting
- Touch cutting
- Automatic cutting
Either touch cutting or automatic cutting can be set in the "Programming Variables". Touch cutting or automatic cutting can be activated with the "SHIFT" button. When the tree reaches the cutting zone during processing, the tree will then be cut with the selected method.
Manual Cutting - When the DASA is set for manually cutting and the "S/" is on the display screen, press the button and hold the button in order to cut. When the button is released the saw bar will return.
Touch Cutting - When the DASA is set for touch cutting and the "S/" is not on the display screen, briefly press the button. The saw will cut through the tree according to the settings of the DASA and the saw will automatically return.
Automatic Cutting - When the DASA is set for automatic cutting and the "S/" is not on the display screen, the saw will automatically cut through the tree. The button does not need to be pressed. Then, the saw will automatically return. A delay time can be set at the "Prog Variables" screen. The delay time causes the harvester head to wait for a period of time before cutting.

(11) "START" - Press this button in order to start processing a tree. The species of tree must be selected before the harvester head will begin processing the tree. The button can also be used after pressing the "STOP" button to restart processing.
(12) "TREE QUALITY +" - Press this button in order to select the species of tree that will be processed. The species of tree must be selected before the tree has been felled. The button scrolls forward through the following list of species:
- Pine
- Spruce
- Hardwood
(13) "TREE QUALITY -" - Press this button in order to select the species of tree that will be processed. The species of tree must be selected before the tree has been felled. The button scrolls backward through the following list of species:
- Pine
- Spruce
- Hardwood
(14) "CUT LENGTH +" - Press this button in order to select the length of the tree that will be processed. The length can be selected before processing or during processing. The button allows you to scroll upward through the length values of the preselection table.
(15) "CUT LENGTH -" - Press this button in order to select the length of the tree that will be processed. The length can be selected before processing or during processing. The button scrolls downward through the length values in preselection table.
(16) "FEED FORWARD" - Press this button in order to feed the tree through the harvester head at full speed. The delimbing knives, feed roller arms, and holding arm will automatically close when the button is pressed. If the button is pressed briefly during processing, the processing will stop.
(17) "FEED REVERSE" - When the harvester head is in the HORIZONTAL position and this button is depressed, the tree is fed through the harvester head at full speed. When the harvester head is in the VERTICAL position and this button is depressed, the tree is fed through the harvester head at crawl speed.
Note: Buttons (16) and (17) can be used to change the cutting location when a tree is being felled. The harvester head will move slowly down the tree until the button is released.
(18) "SHIFT" - This button can be used with other buttons to change the following settings in the DASA:
- The mode of cutting
- The color that will be marked on the tree
- The species of the tree
Cutting - When the ignition is first turned on manual cutting is active. In order to change to touch cutting or automatic cutting, hold the "SHIFT" button and press the "CUT" button. In order to change back to manual cutting, hold the "SHIFT" button and press the "CUT" button.
Manual Color Marking - The color that will be marked on a log can be activated or changed with the "SHIFT" button. In order to mark the log with color 1, hold the "SHIFT" button and press the "HOLD & DELIMB - OPEN" button. In order to mark the log with color 2, hold the "SHIFT" button and press the "HOLD - OPEN" button. In order to mark a log with color 1 and color 2, hold the "SHIFT" button and press the "HOLD & DELIMB OPEN" button and the "HOLD - OPEN" button. All succeeding trees will be marked with the selected pattern until the pattern is changed.
Automatic Color Marking - The color that will be marked on a log can be programmed in the DASA at the "Programming Preselections" screen.
Species - After the tree has been felled and the tree has fed more than 20 cm (8 inch) through the harvester head, the species of tree can not be changed. In order to change the species, feed the tree in the reverse direction 20 cm (8 inch). Then, hold the "SHIFT" button and press button (12) or button (13) .
(19) "TILT - UP" - Briefly press this button in order to tilt the harvester head into the VERTICAL position. The delimbing knives, the feed roller arms, and the holding arm will automatically open. In order to prevent the functions from opening, press the "Delimbing knives/Holding arm/Feed rollers - Close" button on the right control lever and press the "TILT - UP" button.
Note: If the button is pressed and the delimbing knives, the feed roller arms, and the holding arm do not fully open, increase the opening time in the "Programming Times" menu.
(20) "TILT - DOWN" - Briefly press and hold this button in order to move the harvester head to the FLOAT position. The weight of the harvester head will tilt the harvester head downward. Press this button in order to force the harvester head to tilt down.
