TO THE NEW OPERATOR OR OWNER The Wallenstein Wood Processors are designed to Job Site: connect to and pull logs to the machine, position for cutting with a chain saw and split the resulting log. It is the responsibility of the operator to be The operator should be familiar with the machine thoroughly familiar with the work site prior to prior to starting.
MACHINE COMPONENTS The Wallenstein Wood Processor consists of a winch mounted in a frame to winch logs into the log lead in chute and then position the log on the log loader chute, up to the log length guide. The hydraulic winch control lever engages the winch motor to wind or unwind the rope.
MACHINE BREAK-IN PRE-OPERATION CHECKLIST Although there are no operational restrictions on the Efficient and safe operation of the Wallenstein Wood Wood Processor when used for the first time, it is Processor requires that each operator reads and recommended that the following mechanical items understands the using procedures and all related be checked: safety precautions outlined in this section.
CONTROLS Before starting to work, all operators should famil- iarize themselves with the location and function of Choke controls. Throttle 4.5.1. GAS ENGINE ELECTRIC START (Models WP830 & WP860): Read the engine manufacturers operator's manual before starting for more detailed in- structions.
4.5.2. GAS ENGINE MANUAL START (Model WP 630): Read the engine manufacturers operator's manual before starting for more detailed in- structions. Ignition a. Ignition Switch: Switch Throttle This switch controls the electrical power to the engine electrical system. Turn the Choke switch counter-clockwise to turn OFF.
Unwind: 4.5.3. HYDRAULIC WINCH CONTROL push forward This 3-position "spring-loaded-to-center neutral" valve controls the flow of oil to the hydraulic motor Wind: powering the rope winch. pull 1. Pull the lever back and hold to start the winch back and wind the rope. 2.
4.5.5. HYDRAULIC CONTROLS & AUTO CYCLE WP830 and WP860: These two hydraulic levers control the extending and retracting movement of the Wood Processors' splitting cylinder rod. These 3-position "spring-loaded-to-center neutral" levers, control the flow of oil to the cylinder. They are equipped with a detent in the engaged position to allow the cylinder to move through its complete cycle and then return to its starting position automatically.

WP630: This 3-position "spring-loaded-to-center neutral" lever controls the flow of oil to the cylinder. 1. Pull the lever back and hold for the cylinder piston to extend and split the wood. 2. Once the wood is split, move the lever forward and place it in the detent position to retract the cylinder 3.
4.5.6. SPLITTING WEDGE HEIGHT LEVER: This multi-position lever controls and sets the height position of the horizontal splitting wedge. Lower At its lowest position the 4 way wedge becomes a two way wedge, to handle smaller logs, increasing the height allows for 4 way splitting of larger logs. Adjust the height as required.
4.5.8. SPLITTER CHUTE HEIGHT ADJUSTER: The adjustable sliding bracket controls the height of the end of the splitter chute, up to 54" (1.37 m). This allows for split wood to be loaded directly onto a conveyor, or into a high sided dumper with out any extra handling.
ATTACHING AND UNHOOKING When attaching the Wood Processor to a tow unit, the Wood Processor should always be located on a level, dry area that is free of debris and other foreign objects. When attaching the Wood Processor to a tow unit, follow this procedure: 1.
MACHINE SET-UP Follow this procedure to prepare and set-up the machine at the work site: 1. Use the tow unit to position the Wood Proces- sor at the work site. IMPORTANT Position the machine so the prevail- ing wind/breeze blows the exhaust gases/fumes away from the opera- tor's station.

Rope may break during operation if it is cut, • Close and secure all guards, deflectors and knotted, has broken strands or worn.
4.8.2. STARTING PROCEDURE: Throttle Choke a. The Wood Processor should be set up and ready to run. b. Ensure the hydraulic controls are in neu- tral position (out of detent) Ignition c. Close the choke if the engine is cold. d.
4.8.5. PROCESSING OPERATION: The Wood Processor is running and set up at the work site. Ensure the operator is wearing the appropriate safety equipment. (see Prepare). Have your chainsaw ready A. Winching: a. Release the winch rope by moving the Winch Gear Lever winch gear lever to the left.

B. Second log: As you finish the first log, you will find it is too short to winch in. At that point another log can be used to move the first one into the cutting area. When working with a second log, follow this procedure: Winching to Cutting Guide 1.
4.8.6. PULL ANGLE: It is recommended that the pull angle of the rope not exceed + 25° from the horizontal axis of the machine. Exceeding that angle can subject the machine to a tipping load and tip the machine over. Use a log peavey to move the log in line with the Wood Processor to reduce or eliminate the tipping load.
4.8.9. CUTTING: Chain Saw Guide Review the chain saw operator's manual and follow all safety instructions. Always wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) when using a chain saw. a. Ensure you chainsaw is sharpened and in good working order. b. Use the saw guide to safely align your cuts.
