Familiarization
4. Familiarization
Your WP525 firewood processor is designed to process logs
into firewood. Use the winch to pull a log up the entry chute,
through the log chute, to the log-length guide. Use a chain saw
to cut the log to the required length. The cut log falls into the
splitter. Activate the splitter to move the cut log forward and split
it. Split logs push the previously split logs (firewood) up the exit
chute and out of the machine. Power to operate the machine is
provided by a gas engine and hydraulic pump.
4.1 New Operator
WARNING!
Make sure that all operators understand how
to place the machine in a safe condition before
performing any service, maintenance, or storage
preparation. For instructions, see Safe Condition
on page 9.
It is the responsibility of the owner and the operator to read
this manual, and to train all other operators before they work
with the machine. Follow all safety instructions.
Untrained operators are not qualified to use the machine.
They can endanger themselves and others or damage property.
4.2 Training
Each operator must be trained in the correct operating
procedures before using the machine. The Sign-Off Form on
page 11 can be used to keep a training record.
1. Review control locations, functions, and movement
directions.
2. Move the machine to a large open area and allow the new
operator to become familiar with control functions and
machine responses.
3. When the new operator is familiar and comfortable with the
machine, they can proceed with the work.
4.3 Operator Orientation
IMPORTANT! Unless otherwise specified, the left hand
(LH), right hand (RH), forward, and backward directions
described in this manual are referenced from the operator
control panel position when facing the direction of forward
machine travel.
