5.8 Operating tips

Do not perform any repair, adjustment, cleaning or maintenance work

whatsoever while the machine is running (disconnect PTO-drive or

switch the motor off)!

All machine settings are done by the manufacturer in his workshop

before delivery. Under normal working circumstances NO FURTHER

setting or adjustment of the machine is required.

Should it become necessary to perform any adjustment of the

hydraulic system, dismount the multifunctional control lever, the stop

lever and the wedge lift lever on control deck on the right hand-side of

your processor, then open the cover plate (hood).

Remove both fixation screws on the cover plate and then simply

lift the hood up. To avoid the hood slamming down unexpectedly

make sure to secure it by simply slipping the rod into the special eye

provided in the hood to keep it open (see Figure 15).

5.8.1 Adjusting the push-block (ram)

After the first break-in period of 10 working hours, make sure to check

and adjust the guides of the push-block in the splitter trough. Please

read following point 9.1 „Ordinary general maintenance“ for detailed

procedure. (see Figure „Push-block“)

During the entire return stroke, the ram must remain on the right hand-

side of the chainsaw and logs that are sawed off from the timber must 

not hit on the push-block when falling down after cutting.

Failure of the machine to fulfil this condition, will require some

adjustment of the ram stroke. To do this, release both screws (see Fig. 

16) and shift the stop to the right-hand side (more towards the wedge).

Adjust the ram stroke (by changing of its stop position) also in the

event of the ram starting back and retracting beyond the neutral

position.

In this event, release both retainer screws (see Fig. 16) and again

move the angle steel stop more to the wedge side.

Should the ram fail to sufficiently extend to advance the log across the 

wedge (short stroke) adjust the angle steel stop to the right hand-side 

(towards the wedge). See Figure 17.

When the ram kicks back (against pressure) upon start and

fails to activate the auto-cycle, the steel angle stop needs adjustment

towards the wedge (see Figure 17).

When the ram control-valve hits against its end stops, both adjustment 

screws on the switch lever need a reset (see Figure 18).

Adjustment of the neutral position of the control valve can be done by

means of the special adjustment screw located in the rear part of the

valve. (see Figure 18).
