NOTE: The scope of coverage in the SAE and ISO
standards referenced in OAR
437-007-0775(11) and
(14) are not intended to exclude any machines
included in the scope of this Division.

2004, that permit the operator to stand on the ground adjacent to the machine
while operating the machine:
(a) Are not
required to have a fully enclosed cab.
(b) Must have overhead and landing chute side
protection meeting the requirements of SAE J1084 April 80.
(2) Cabs and protective structures on forest
activities machines manufactured on or after July 1, 2004, must have smooth,
rounded edges and coverings free from projections which could puncture or tear
flesh and clothing.
(3) Any machine
operator cab, protective structure or attached guarding manufactured on or
after July 1, 2004, that is damaged or weakened, to a strength less than that
required by certified performance criteria must be replaced or immediately
repaired.
(4) Repairs or
modifications to major structural members of any operator cab, protective
structure or attached guarding on machines manufactured on or after July 1,
2004, certified to performance criteria, must comply with the specific
instructions of the original equipment manufacturer or be certified by a
professional engineer.
(5) An
operator restraint system must be provided and used on all machines
manufactured on or after July 1, 2004, and equipped with ROPS, FOPS, reinforced
cabs or overhead guards. The operator restraint system must:
(a) Comply with SAE J386 NOV97 or ISO 6683
Amended 1:1990.
(b) Be maintained
in an effective condition.
EXCEPTION: Use of the operator restraint system

must:
(a) Comply with the labeling
requirements of ISO 3471:1994 or ISO 12117:1997 as applicable.

is equivalent to compliance with that standard.
NOTE: Machines capable of 360-degree upper
structure rotation are excluded from the SAE J1040 MAY94 and ISO 8082:1994
standards for ROPS. In this case, the exclusion from these standards does not
allow the label on a machine capable of 360-degree upper structure rotation to
state compliance with SAE J1040 MAY94 or ISO 8082:1994.
(7) Each machine used in forest
activities that is manufactured on or after July 1, 2004, must have a fully
enclosed cab for the operator which prevents objects from entering the cab. The
fully enclosed cab must have:
(a) The upper
portion enclosed with materials that allow for maximum visibility and meets the
Operator Protective Structure (OPS) requirements of SAE J1084 APR80 or ISO
8084:1993.
(b) Transparent material
must not have defects, such as, but not limited to, scratches, cracks, or
broken safety glass which could create a hazard for the operator.
(c) The lower portion enclosed with solid
material meeting the requirements of SAE J1084: APR80 or ISO
8084:1993.
(d) The overhead
covering enclosed with solid material meeting the FOPS requirements of ISO
8083:1989 (11,600 Joules).
EXCEPTION 1:
437-007-0775(7)
(a) is not required for the front
window in machines operating in sort yards, on landings and similar prepared
surfaces which are equipped with front guards meeting the SAE J1356 FEB88
requirements.
EXCEPTION 2:
437-007-0775(7)
(a) and (7)(c) are not
required on machines operating in mill yards.
(8) The machine operator space in cabs and
protective structures manufactured on or after July 1, 2004, must comply with
ISO 3411:1995.
(9) Access to
machine operator cabs and protective structures manufactured on or after July
1, 2004, must comply with SAE J185-1988 or ISO 2867:1994.
(10) Each fully enclosed cab installed on
machines manufactured on or after July 1, 2004, must have a second means of
egress which can be opened from both the inside and outside without
tools.
(11) Machines capable of
handling material in front of or above the deflection limiting volume (DLV), as
defined by SAE J397 APR98, including yarders with cabs mounted next to the
tower (boom), manufactured on or after July 1, 2004, must have a front and top
guard meeting the requirements of SAE J1356:FEB88.
EXCEPTION: The rule does not apply to
rubber-tired or tracked front-end loaders when equipped with buckets or forks
with hold down grapple arm(s).
(12) Machines used for forest activities and
those identified by SAE J1116 MAR99 that are manufactured on or after July 1,
2004, must:
(a) Be equipped with ROPS which
meet the criteria in SAE J1040-1994 or ISO 8082:1994.
(b) Comply with the requirements of OAR
437-007-0775(2) through
(11).
EXCEPTION 1: This rule does not apply to high
mast log stackers used exclusively to lift, transport or stack logs in sorting
yards or transfer stations.
EXCEPTION 2: This rule does not apply to
machines capable of 360-degree upper structure rotation that are excluded from
SAE J1040:May 94 and ISO 8082:1994 standards for ROPS.
(13) Shear or deflector
guarding must be:
(a) Installed in front of
each cab to deflect whipping saplings and branches.
(b) Located so they do not impede visibility
and access to the cab.
EXCEPTION: This rule does not apply to
rubber-tired loaders, scrapers and graders.
(14) Machines used for forest activities
manufactured on or after July 1, 2004, that are excluded from the ROPS, SAE
J1040:1994 or ISO 8082:1994 requirements because they are capable of 360 degree
upper structure rotation must be equipped with fully enclosed cabs that meet
the requirements of
437-007-0775(2) through
(11). These machines must be limited to use
on surfaces that are prepared, excavated or constructed of solid material with
a slope of less than 20 percent unless the operator's cab is equipped with the
following additional protection:
(a) A Tip
Over Protective Structure (TOPS) that meets the requirements of ISO 12117
1997:(E) with the exception of the "Formulae for the determination of energy
required" In section 6.1.4 Table 1. The "Formulae for the determination of
energy required" In Table 1 is changed as follows:
(A) The lateral energy equation is replaced
with 7300(M/10,000)0.9 or 20,000 Joules, whichever is greater where M is the
machine mass in kilograms.
(B) The
longitudinal energy equation is replaced with 4300(M/10,000)0.9 or 12,000
Joules, whichever is greater where M is the machine mass in
kilograms.
(b) An
"Off-Boom Side Cab Guard" that complies with the "Front Guard" requirements of
SAE J1356: FEB88.
(c) An "Off-Boom
Side Cab Guard" that complies with
437-007-0775(14)(b)
when the following modifications are made to
SAE J1356:FEB88:
(A) Section 3.2. Each
occurrence of the term "Front Guard" in this section is replaced with "Off Boom
Side Cab Guard."
(B) Section
3.2.4.1. The term "front of the DLV" on line 3 is replaced with "off boom side
of the DLV".
(C) Section 5.2. Each
occurrence of the term "Front Guard" in this section is replaced with "Off Boom
Side Cab Guard".
(D) Section 5.2.3.
The term "front of the DLV" on line 2 is replaced with "off boom side of the
DLV".
(E) Section 6.2. The term
"Front Guard" on line 1 is replaced with "Off Boom Side Cab Guard".
(15) Machines used for
road construction activities on prepared surfaces with a slope of less than 20
percent are not required to have front and/or top cab protective structures
when the machine's activities do not expose operators to the hazards of
yarding, loading or timber falling.
