12. Trouble-shooting chart

The following section will detail procedures for checking your processor, should you encounter a malfunction.

Important!

Before setting, operating, cleaning, maintaining or repairing the processor, read the manufacturer’s opera-

ting and maintenance instruction manual.

Trouble description   Possible causes  

Remedies

Processor fails to split   - no or low oil  

- Check the oil and fill up, if required

 

- Multifunctional control lever is not  

- Reset lever trigging mechanism

 

   

  properly shift down to last step

 

- Control valve out of setting 

- Provide new adjustment

 

- There is dirt of the trigging system  

- Clean

 

- Oil is too cold  

- Let the processor run a few minutes

 

   

  till oil has warmed up

Splitter push-block  

  - Oil is too cold  

- Let the processor run a few minutes

slides too slowly or  

    till oil has warmed up

powerless  

  - No or low oil  

- Check the oil level and eventually fill-up

Splitter cannot  

  - Wrong setting of the wedge  

- Make sure the wedge is set properly

complete splitting of  

  -Crooked, very branchy unpruned log  - Switch the machine off and turn the log

 

   

  around to find optimal position inside

 

   

  the splitter trough

 

  - Log diameter is too big  

- Switch the machine off and remove log

 

  - Operating pressure is too low  

- Check and set the hydraulic system

Oil warms up  

  - Not enough oil in the line  

- Check oil and eventually fill-up

 

  - Ram does not slides back  

- Check and reset ram stroke-end

Log pops up during  

  - Very branchy unpruned log  

- Stop the machine, disconnect power

splitting

The electric motor does    - Faulty power cable  

- Check cable status

not start  

  - Faulty protection fuse  

- Replace fuse

 

  - Faulty switch  

- Replace switch

 

  - Broken motor  

- Replace motor

 

  - Emergency stop push-button pressed - Press to release 

 

     down

The electric motor turns   - Inverted wires in power cable  

- Change plug polarity

but in the wrong direction  

  (using a phase changer)

Conveyor belt slips to     - Check stretching  

- Eventually re-tension (adjust upper

the side

 

   

  the side pulley)

Log sticks to the wedge    - Wedge knives are dull  

- Re-grind

after splitting

Logs don‘t get caught     - Belt conveyor position is excessively - Adjust rake angle (reduce conveyor

by belt conveyor  

    upright 

  upright slope)
