Test Run; Before Processing Firewood - Hakki Pilke OH 27 Instructions For Assembly, Operation And Maintenance

A test run must always be carried out before putting the machine into operation.

cover is down.
2. Start the tractor and let the engine idle.
3. Start the rotation of the tractor's power take-off by lifting the clutch pedal slowly
and smoothly. Let the machine run for a while.
4. For an electrically driven machine, let the machine run for a few minutes
depending on air temperature to warm up the oils before starting the test run.

6. Start the splitting movement with the pedal. Repeat the movement several times
and check that the machine is operating normally. Should there be any faults, repair
them.
7. Test the functions described in section Operation and Control of a Hydraulic
Splitting System.

principle of the machine and the safety precautions.
When processing firewood, you should:
- wear safe clothes:
- an outfit suitable for the weather conditions, with no hanging parts or
strings that may get caught in the wood or the machine and thus cause an
accident;

- arrange the work site so that:
- it is even and there is enough space for working;
