Page 9: Retraction Of Discharge Conveyor
3.1.1 RETRACTION OF THE DISCHARGE CONVEYOR Discharge conveyor is usually telescopically retracted in the machine transport position. By activating the ma- chine, telescopic cylinder of the discharge conveyor automatically activates and fully extends the machine, so the belt is tensioned. Before starting the machine, make sure to loosen the conveyor belt, by moving the Discharge Conveyor from vertical to horizontal position using the hand winch (3-Figure:4). -

4.2 NOISE Machine operator is exposed to the following noise levels, during the machine operation (measured near the machine operator's ear): RCA 400 joy Idling: 85 dB (A) Operation: 92 dB (A) Therefore it is mandatory to wear hearing protectors while operating the machine. -
Page 13: Sawing
4.4 SAWING The chainsaw operates only during the sawing cycle. Sawing operation begins with the movement of the control handle (Figure: 10) in the backward direction and includes 2 phases. In the first phase, log holder (Figure: 10a) fastens the log and cutting chain activation clutch is engaged (Figure: 10b). -
Page 14: Splitting
4.5 SPLITTING Splitting is performed by a splitting cylinder which pushes the log towards the splitting wedge. The splitting speed depends on the wood resistance and changes during splitting. Since the splitting speed is inversely pro- portional with the splitting force, the splitting cylinder enables greater splitting force at a lower speed and a smaller splitting force at a greater splitting speed. -
Page 15: Proper Use Of Splitting Wedge
4.5.2 PROPER USE OF SPLITTING WEDGE To ensure the durability of your splitting wedge, follow these instructions: 1. The splitting wedge is designed exclusively for wood splitting up to the max. diameter specified on your RCA machine. Dmax Dmax 2. The log in the splitting chute must always be longitudinally directed towards the splitting wedge. This pre- vents unnecessary overloads and downtime. -
Page 16: Machine Cover With Safety Switch
4. Ensure that the splitting chute and splitting wedge are never obstructed. Always remove any wedged pieces of wood. 5. Adjust the height of the splitting wedge to be slightly less than the mechanism permits. This allows the splitting wedge to still “breathe” during the splitting so as not to burden the mechanism and the lower bla- des of the wedge. -
Page 17: Discharge Conveyor
STOP STOP 4.6 DISCHARGE CONVEYOR Lifting and lowering of the discharge conveyor is performed with the hand winch (23-Figure:13). When the desired position is reached, secure it with the chain, so that the weight of discharge conveyor is distributed between the wire rope and the carrying chain. -

Questions and answers
Chain and bar not coming down when you pull back on joystick . All other functions are working.
The chain and bar may not be coming down when pulling back on the joystick due to the following possible reasons:
1. Final Position Inductive Switch Issue: If the final position inductive switch did not send the signal to return the splitting cylinder, it may need to be adjusted to detect the final position properly.
2. Control Function Reset Required: If the machine was shut down (such as lifting the cover or pushing the STOP switch), the RESET button (Green Button) must be pressed to restore control functions.
3. Sawbar Moving Cylinder Restrictions: The sawbar moving cylinder has fixed speed and force settings, and its operation is dependent on adjustable switches. Ensure that switch 1 and switch 2 are functioning correctly.
4. Power Supply Issue: If the power supply is insufficient or experiencing voltage drops, it could affect the machine's operation. Ensure the power source is stable and meets the required specifications.
5. Chain and Bar Condition: If the cutting chain is dull or improperly tensioned, it may affect movement. Check chain sharpness, tension, and lubrication oil levels.
Checking these factors should help diagnose why the chain and bar are not coming down.
