Halving The Stroke Length Of The Splitting Motion - Hakki Pilke 55 PRO Manual

2. Remove the machine's cover plate (from the rear of the machine), as shown in Figure 28.
3. Sensor A (Figure 28) determines the spot in which the splitting beam stops during the return motion.
If necessary, change the position of the sensor. Loosen the sensor's fastening bolt, move the sensor
and tighten the bolt to secure it in place.
4. Sensor B (Figure 28) is used to determine the point at which the splitting cylinder changes direction
during the splitting cycle, i.e. how close to the splitting beam the splitting knife goes. If necessary,
change the position of the sensor, as instructed in section 3 above.
Note! The covers and guards must be reattached after maintenance.

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. You can activate the half stroke with monitor button A (Figure 11) and select either 1/2
stroke or 1/3 stroke. The stroke lengths can be adjusted by moving sensors C and D (Figure 28). It is
preferable to set the adjustment so that the log remains slightly jammed in the splitting knife and only the
next log will split it completely.
Activating a single splitting pushes the log up until the preset splitting setting. Note! You can also carry
out a single full splitting motion by keeping the splitting button pressed down as long as the splitting
motion has finished.
