Note! Road transport of the machine with a tractor is prohibited! 2.3. Main components of the machine The Hakki Pilke 55 Pro is a firewood processor with fully hydraulic controls. In other words, all of the machine's functions are controlled hydraulically with operating levers on the machine's control panel. The guard of the cutting and splitting section is interlocked with the machine's operation: Opening the guard stops the cutting and splitting functions.

3.2.4. Adjusting the log length The Hakki Pilke 55 Pro features a hydraulic automatic measuring device for cutting firewood, with an adjustment value of approx. 25 to 60 cm. When sawing, the log limiter plate (B in Figure 16) always moves approx.
Using the XL Conveyor out-feed conveyor (accessory) The Hakki Pilke 50 Pro firewood processor’s out-feed conveyor belt is driven by a hydraulic motor. To change the speed of the belt, use adjuster C in Figure 17. Changing the conveyor angle in the lateral direction is done hydraulically using lever A in Figure 17: Lever forwards: the conveyor turns to the left.
Adjusting and using the splitting knife In the Hakki Pilke 55 Pro machine, the splitting knife is adjusted automatically based on the log diameter. Sensor A in Figure 18 measures the diameter of the log, the machine’s software calculates the correct height for splitting knife B and the cylinder lifts/lowers the knife to the correct height during sawing.
Page 19
When the splitting knife is being lowered, make sure that there are no long pieces of wood attached to it, preventing the multiplier knife from lowering. If necessary, clear the knife of any pieces of wood that may hamper the lifting/lowering. Figure 21. Hakki Pilke 55 Pro Translation Version 3-2022...

J shown in Figure 9. The feed can be cancelled by turning the joystick to the left. The machine has been designed to be used with the log table model Hakki Pilke HakkiFeed 471 or 472. Do not use the machine without a suitable log table due to the weight of the logs.
(see Section 5.1.1). 4.3.3. Guide plates for falling wood pieces The 55 Pro is equipped with guide plates to ensure that the cut pieces of wood are always lowered to the bottom of the splitting groove in the right position.
Adjusting the stroke length of the splitting motion In the Hakki Pilke 55 Pro firewood processor, the splitting cylinder is controlled electrically with sensors A and B in Figure 28. The stroke length of the splitting cylinder can be adjusted as follows: 1.
Halving the stroke length of the splitting motion When splitting logs with a diameter of over 30 cm but a length of under 24–40 cm with the Hakki Pilke 55 Pro firewood processor, the efficiency of the machine can be enhanced by limiting the movement of the splitting cylinder.
2. Rotate the connection point roughly to the halfway point of the conveyor. 3. Pull the connection wire out and remove the old belt. 4. Install the new belt in place in the reverse order. Hakki Pilke 55 Pro Translation Version 3-2022...
5.1.1. Replacing and tensioning the saw chain The Hakki Pilke 55 Pro firewood processor comes standard with a patented AC10™ automatic and hydraulically powered saw chain tensioner. When the machine is running, the hydraulic cylinder pushes the saw motor backwards with a constant force, keeping the saw chain’s tension optimal. The operator does not need to worry about the saw chain’s tension.
4. Place the new bar against gear wheel B, twist it into the groove and tighten saw bar bolts A. 5. Install the saw chain in place according to steps 4–6 of Section 5.1.1. Figure 31. Hakki Pilke 55 Pro Translation Version 3-2022...
