SC-12 / SC-12XP• MAINTENANCE
MAINTENANCE
The bearings should be greased with one shot of grease every
200 hours. The engine must be maintained according to the
instructions of the engine manual. The saw chain (.404) must be
sharpened or replaced whenever it is dull. If it dulls on one side
it may pull the bar to the side and cause binding. This machines
18” bar requires an 68 tooth drive link for its chain. The hydraulic
fluid is standard 46 weight
and should be checked daily. Use
winter grade bar and chain oil for the saw bar. Change the
hydraulic filter every 250 hours of use. Use Zinga filter # HE-
10L. See Fig 16.
Check the air filter every 20 hours.
Clean them
if dirty. Change the engine oil every 50 running hours. Grease
the main splitter slider daily. Refer to and follow instructions in
the HONDA engine manual.
CONTINUED ADJUSTMENTS
Check the log loader chain weekly. Tighten it to snug if it is
loose. The chains may stretch in the first 50 hours of operation.
You may use the the log loader as a log deck with or without the
log dogs. If you wish to use the SC-12 without the dogs you may
replace the chains with a master link. Call the factory for these if
they are not supplied.
If the detent on the splitter return does not stay engaged while
retracting. See Fig 9.
1.) Loosen jam nut.
2.) Turn clockwise approximately
1/4 turn to increase detent. Then
re-tighten jam nut.
After the wood exits the splitter, it will push itself out onto the
pile or a conveyor (if supplied). The
conveyor may be turned on by the
control knob See Fig. 5. The speed
may also be varied by this valve.
Always be sure to stay out from under
the conveyor.
HYDRAULIC ADJUSTMENTS
The hydraulic pressure can be monitored by the gauge beside
the control panel. The relief valve pressure
adjusts higher by turning clockwise. The
relief valve has a cap that needs to be turned
off and a jam nut that needs to be loosened
before adjusting. See Fig 6.
The Splitter Pressure should read max 2500
psi with a 13 HP engine and 2800 psi with a
20 HP engine. You can get that reading by
stalling the splitter cylinder in the retract (home) position. To
adjust, turn the relief valve on the splitter valve. See Fig 6.
The Conveyor Pressure (if supplied) should be no more than
500 psi. To change this pressure, adjust the relief valve on the
return manifold under the control panel. See Fig. 7.
