Installation Duties before starting operation A D V I C E Before starting operation, you must execute these tasks: • Review all electric connections before starting the machine! • Check all safety devices for proper functioning! • Check all bolts and screw connection for proper fastening before starting operation! •...
5. Installation Establish the machine’s working position In order to avoid grave injuries to persons and severe damage to the machine, the system must always be placed on solid and levelled ground, and the instructions hereafter must be observed exactly. Apply the manual leg support: Set wheel stops to prevent the machine from rolling away.
5. Installation Turn the main battery switch on (diesel engine only) The battery for the diesel motor of the sawing and splitting machine is equipped with a main switch. Turn the switch into ON position to enable the start of the motor and to supply the controls with electric current.
5. Installation Extend the feeder framework Press button 8B of the RC unit (for details see chapter 6.3 “Remote control”), to lower the feeder framework. Stop the movement, before the feeder is in horizontal position. Now you need to flap out the supporting legs (3): Rotate every spring bolt (4) half a turn, then pull them out.
5. Installation Aufbau des Zubringers The feeder framework consists of the “H”-shape frame (1), 3 cross beams (2) and 2 supporting legs (3). First attach one cross beam to the beam on the feeder with bolt (4), then secure it with a cotter pin (5). Then attach the second and third cross beam in the same way.
5. Installation Hydraulic connection of feeder / attach cross conveyor A cross conveyor can optionally be attached to the feeder trestle. Connections: 1 feeder trestle 2 cross conveyor 3 leak oil pipes 5.10 Oil cooler The oil cooler is installed in a protected location between the pressing cylinders and the feeder belt.

6. Operation Setting the splitting length The splitting length can be adjusted in steps, to cover a moving range of 25 – 100 cm (10” – 40”). The stop plate must be secured against inadvertent shifting by 3 bolts M12 x 30, the belonging lock washers and flat washers.
6. Operation The Harvester assembly 6.5.1 The Hultdins chainsaw • The chainsaw has very sharp edges and angles. Always wear safety gloves and use the proper fork wrenches when working with the chainsaw. Take the saw chain off during due service and setup works. •...
6. Operation 6.5.2 Venting the chain tensioning system ATTENTION: All service and repair works must be performed by qualified personnel or by an authorized repair shop only! 1. Take out the saw chain (see chapter “Chain replacement”). 2. Start the machine and let it run in idle mode. 3.
6. Operation 6.5.3 Setting the chain tension pressure If the chain jumps off the sword during sawing operation, there may be air inside the tensioning system, or the tension pressure is probably too low. Try to solve the problem by venting the system (see the earlier chapter: “Venting the chain tensioning system”).
6. Operation Movement speed of the sword If the return movement speed of the sword appears too high, a grave malfunction has occurred at the saw unit. The movement during cutting must be between 2 – 5 seconds. The return movement must take at least 1 second.
6. Operation 5. Start the chain just for a moment: Pressure will build up inside the chain tensioning system. If the new chain jumps off the sword, you must bleed the system. 6. Problems during chain replacement may be caused by a soiled chain or by debris inside the lubrication channels.
6. Operation 6.5.7 Venting the lubrication system During the complete slewing process, the lubrication pump delivers oil. First take off the chain. Use a 37 mm wrench (1.5”) to take off the end screw (3) as illustrated below. Use a 5 mm (0.2”) Allen wrench to open the sealing screw (2). Observe the escaping oil of the piston rod: as soon as it is free from air bubbles, you shut the sealing screw again.
7. Shutdown 7 Shutdown Safety instructions concerning shutdown D A N G E R Danger of injury from getting caught or dragged in by moving machine parts! • After machine shutdown, you must wait until all moving machine parts have come to a halt! •...
7. Shutdown Shutting down the drive Before you shut down the machine after a longer period of full speed operation, let the drive run at idle speed for a couple of minutes, in order to cool the system down to normal temperature. After you have shut down the drive and the oil cooling system has stopped working, you must switch off the diesel engine / the PTO drive / tractor.
8. Servicing 8 Servicing Before starting any maintenance activities on the machine, always turn the machine OFF and disconnect the power supply from the tractor or the engine. During the first month of operation, check all screws and connections once a week for tight fastening.

8. Servicing Important servicing instructions A D V I C E • Immediately replace any faulty machine parts! • Use original spare parts only. • Make sure that suitable collecting bins are available for any groundwater endangering media (removed oils, cooling agents).
8. Servicing Instructions for working on electric equipment As a matter of principle, any work on electric equipment may only be carried out by skilled electricians. Review electric equipment on a regular basis: Fasten any loose connection; replace damaged cables and wires immediately. During any work on live machine components or cables, a second person must be present at all times, which can interrupt the electric supply in case of emergency.
8. Servicing • Make sure that all used tools, materials and further equipment has been removed from the working area again. • Clean the place of operation and remove all escaped liquids and similar materials. • Make sure that all safety devices of the machine are functioning properly again.
8. Servicing Battery maintenance (Diesel engine drive) Check the level of the liquid inside the battery, refill with distilled water if necessary. If the machine will be out of operation for a longer time, it is recommended to take out the battery and to connect it to a charger for keeping it charged. Checking the level of the chain oil Check the chain oil level before every start of operation, and...

8. Servicing 8.12 Sharpening the saw chain In order to achieve the required chain sharpness, you must adhere to these dimensions (all dimensions relate to the original chain type Oregon 18H): • The sharpening angle must be identical for all single chain teeth. Otherwise the chain will operate uneven and harsh, and will be subject to increased wear.
Page 51
8. Servicing • All sawing teeth must show the same length. Unequal lengths will result in uneven tooth heights. A variety in height will lead to bumpy chain movement and can even cause the chain to break. • First of all, determine the shortest tooth. Start with sharpening this tooth, then file down all other teeth to the same length.
8. Servicing 8.13 Oil exchange The first oil change is due after 250 operating hours. Afterwards you must change the oil after every 1,000 operating hours or once a year. Use hydraulic oil of class HVI 46 or equal quality only. For the oil change you need a suitable collecting vessel (with a capacity of at least 200 litres).
8. Servicing 8.14 Exchanging the transmission gearbox oil The oil of the gearbox must be replaced after regular intervals. The first exchange is due after 100 operating hours; all con- secutive oil changes must be performed after every 1,500 operating hours, or at least once a year.
8. Servicing 8.16 Replacing the hydraulic hoses All hydraulic hoses must be replaced every 5 years. Otherwise damage may occur to the hoses (brittle), causing severe injuries. 8.17 Adjusting the pressing limiters The pressing unit is limited by limit switches, to protect it from overload and from unnecessary high oil temperature.
8. Servicing 8.18 Replacing the splitting knife 1 Splitting knife 2 Fastening spots of the knife guiding 3 Cross wedge 4 Fastening of the cylinder for height adjustment 1. Use the remote control to move the splitting knife completely upwards. 2.
