Performing A Test Run On The Machine - Hakki Pilke Raven 33 Manual


the machine is positioned on a solid foundation

no unauthorised persons are within the machine's danger zone

all guards and safety devices are in place and functional

opening the splitting and cutting guard stops the machine's hazardous functions (see items 11, 12 and 15
in Section 3.3)

the hydraulic hoses and pipes are undamaged. The pipes must be replaced if there is a tear in the hoses
or pipes, if they leak, or if the surface layer of the hydraulic hose has worn all the way down to the sup-
porting weave.

the machine does not leak oil

the machine functions properly (Section 3.3).
Note! Do not use the machine if the requirements listed above are not met!
3.2

PERFORMING A TEST RUN ON THE MACHINE

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. Ensure that the splitting groove is empty.
4. Make sure that you are familiar with the functions of the machine's controls. If necessary, refer to Section
3.1.
5. Activation:

Tractor drive: Start the tractor and connect the output, starting with a slow speed and increasing the
speed to a maximum of 410 rpm.

Electrical drive: Connect the cable to the socket of the firewood processor, start the machine by
pressing the start button and wait a moment. This will activate the electric motor at full speed.
6. Start the splitting motion by pushing up lever C. The splitting beam must move forward by pushing the
lever up, and must stop immediately when the lever is returned to the initial position. The splitting beam
must move backwards when pulling the lever down, and it must stop immediately when the lever is re-
turned to the initial position.
7. Do the following to ensure that the saw chain lubrication functions automatically: (If necessary, see Sec-
tion 4.10).
a. Use lever C (Figure 15) to perform a few sawing motions without any actual logs.
b. Turn off the machine and disconnect it from the power source.
c. Open the guard and see if the saw chain has been supplied with oil.
8. Ensure that the saw chain starts running when you lower the saw bar by about 2 cm using lever C (Figure
15).
Note! In cold weather, the saw valve shaft may be sluggish at first, which means that the saw bar must be driv-
en to the bottom position a couple of times for the saw chain to run.
9. Move the splitting beam forward and stop it by opening the cradle guard of the cutting and splitting sec-
tion.
10. Ensure that the splitting beam moves backwards by pulling down lever C (Figure 15).
11. Test run the feed motion of the in-feed conveyor by pushing lever A (Figure 15) or lever F (Figure 16) to
the right.
12. Visually check that the out-feed conveyor runs at normal speed.
13. Ensure that the splitting motion or saw chain cannot be activated with the guard open.
