6.Operation Safety circuit The firewood processor is equipped with a safety circuit on the safety doors. These are monitored by means of a sensor on the frame and its counterpart on the door or the protective cover. If one of the two safety doors is opened, the machine stops.
6.Operation Adjustment of the log length using a fixed stop The fixed stop is secured against overload by a shear bolt (1). In case of overload, this breaks off and allows the fixed stop to be pushed backwards. The splitting length can be adjusted via steps in a range of 25-50cm. The splitting length is adjusted to the left of the splitting wedge.
6.Operation Changing the splitting wedge To change the splitting wedge, retract the height adjustment cylinder so that the splitting wedge is pulled upwards. Secure the splitting wedge in this position with a suitable belt or chain. A front loader or crane is ideal for this purpose.
6.Operation 6.10 Half splitting function With the firewood processor, it is possible to switch to the half splitting function for timber lengths of 25-33 cm, i.e., the pusher only travels to the splitting wedge up to the set length, so that the next timber can be conveyed into the splitting channel straight away, thus increasing speed and also efficiency.
6.Operation 6.12 Adjust the chain tension pressure If the chain jumps off the bar during sawing, there may either be air in the tensioning system or the tensioning pressure is too low. To solve the problem, bleed the system at the harvester bar holder.
6.Operation 6.13 Adjust the Pressure limiting Valve The pressure relief valve is for extending the saw cylinder. (lowering of the harvester). It must be set to 80 bar. 6.14 Changing the chain The first signs of a dull chain are very long sawing times and blue smoke coming from the cut.
6.Operation 6.15 Changing the saw-bar • Remove the saw-chain (see 6.14 Changing the chain). • Remove the saw-bar by loosening the guide screws (1). • Insert the new saw-bar and tighten the guide screws. • Replace the saw-chain. 1. Guide screws, 2 pcs. 2.
6.Operation 6.17 Chip ejection The chip ejector is covered with a protective plate to make it difficult to reach into the machine. If the chip channel becomes blocked, do not solve the problem with the machine switched on. A wooden stick or similar is recommended to remove the chips.
7.Shutdown Shutdown Safety instructions for the shutdown procedure DANGER Risk of injury from being caught or pulled in by moving machine parts! • After parking, wait until all moving machine parts have come to a standstill! • Keep a sufficient safety distance from moving machine parts! WARNING Risk of injury when taking out of operation!
7.Shutdown Switch off the drive 7.2.1 Diesel-engine If the machine has been used under full load for a longer period of time, you should let the automatic firewood processor run for a few minutes without load before shutting it down. This allows the machine to return to operating temperature and can be shut down without any problems.
7.Shutdown Dismantling the support frame To dismantle the support frame, open the two locks of the ball cups on the first transverse forming tube (2). Now you can lift out the first cross tube. Proceed in the same way with the other two. With the last one, first lift the transverse moulding tube out of the support H (1) and place it on the ground.
7.Shutdown Folding the outfeed conveyor First turn the spring bolt (1) half a turn until it engages. Then the upper part of the conveyor belt can be pulled forward with the manual cable winch (2) until the spring bolt engages again. Afterwards, the entire conveyor belt can be pulled further forward by turning the crank.
