Placing Logs On The In-Feed Conveyor - Hakki Pilke 43 Pro Instructions For Assembly, Operation And Maintenance

Before the test run, all the components of the firewood processor must be checked. If any faults or wear
and tear that may affect the safe use of the machine are discovered, the processor must not be used until
the faulty or worn component is replaced and safe use can be ensured.
1. Check that the guard for the firewood processor's cutting and splitting section is down.
2. Check that the in-feed and out-feed conveyors are in the operating position.
3. Make sure that the splitting groove is empty.
4. Make sure that you are familiar with the functions of the machine's controls. If necessary, see
Section 3.2.
5. Activation.
a. Tractor drive: Insert the connector for the electric control device into the tractor's
electrical socket. Start the tractor and connect the output, starting with a slow speed and
increasing the speed to a maximum of 500 rpm.
b. Electrical drive: Connect the cable to the socket of the firewood processor, start the
machine by pressing the start button and wait until the electric motor operates at full speed.
6. Start the splitting cycle by pressing button B (Figure 11) on joystick F (Figure 10). The splitting
motion must be normal.
7. Make sure that the saw and the lubrication on the cutting chain work as follows: (If necessary, see
Section 7.0)
a. Perform a few sawing cycles without wood by pressing down button C (Figure 11).
b. Make sure that the saw bar is lowered all the way down during the sawing cycle, then
automatically raised back up when button C is released, and that the cutting chain rotates
for the entire time that button C is pressed down.
c. Turn off the machine and disconnect it from the power source.
d. Open the guard and see if the cutting chain has been supplied with oil.
8. Start the splitting cycle and stop it by opening the guard mesh. Make sure that the splitting beam
returns to its initial position when the guard mesh is closed.
9. Conduct a test run for the in-feed conveyor's feed and return motion with joystick F (Figure 10).
10. Activate the out-feed conveyor by pushing lever G (Figure 10) to the front position. Make sure that
the conveyor belt stops when lever G is placed in the middle position and that the feed is reversed
when lever G is in the back position. Set the conveyor belt to a suitable speed with controller H
(Figure 10).
If a fault, failure or leak occurs during the test run, determine the cause and take remedial action as
necessary. The machine must be shut down and disconnected from the power source for the duration of
both the diagnostics and repairs.

4.2. Placing logs on the in-feed conveyor

We recommend the use of auxiliary devices, such as the HakkiFeed 472 log table. If a log table is not
attached to the machine, the maximum allowed length is 4.5 m. Always lift and place wood on the in-feed
conveyor in a safe manner that does not put the operator in danger.
Note! Placing logs directly on the in-feed conveyor with a loader is strictly prohibited.
Note! Ensure that the log's centre of gravity stays on the conveyor.
Note! If the machine has a larger out-feed conveyor, use of the log lifter is prohibited, as the control
valve uses a motor spool.
