CONNECTING THE MACHINE TO A POWER SOURCE

Tractor-powered model
A tractor-powered firewood processor
is connected to the tractor's three-
point lifting device and cardan shaft.
Connecting the cardan shaft is a task
for only one person. When connecting
the machine to the tractor, there must
be no one in the tractor cabin, so as to
prevent any accidental contact with the
controls. Check all the connecting de-
vices of the tractor and the firewood
processor before connecting them.
Never use faulty equipment.
Figure 9.
When using the cardan shaft, observe any instructions that are provided by the manufacturer of the shaft. The
machine requires 7.5 kW of power, which must be taken into account with regard to the capacity of the cardan
shaft. A suitable cardan shaft is of power class four. Make sure that the connected shaft is locked to the splined
shaft of the multiplier gear. Ensure the correct length of the cardan shaft – consider the lifting and lowering of the
machine. Connect the chain that prevents the turning motion of the guard to hole B (Figure 9). Hang the cardan
shaft from hook A (Figure 9) when the machine is not being operated and it is disconnected from the tractor. Fi-
nally, ensure that all connections are safe and secure. Never use a damaged or unprotected cardan shaft.
Note! Tractor-powered machines must be attached to the lifting equipment of the tractor.
