Connecting the machine to a power source
Tractor-powered model
A tractor-powered firewood processor is
connected to the tractor’s three-point
lifting device and cardan shaft.
Connecting the cardan shaft is a task for
only one person. When connecting the
machine to the tractor, there must be no
one in the tractor cabin, so as to prevent
any accidental contact with the controls.
Check all the connecting devices of the
tractor and the firewood processor be-
fore connecting them. Never use faulty
equipment.
Figure 5
When using the cardan shaft, observe any instructions provided by the manufacturer of the shaft. The machine
requires 7.5 kW of power, which must be taken into account with regard to the capacity of the cardan shaft. A
suitable cardan shaft is of power class four. Make sure that the connected shaft is locked to the splined shaft of
the multiplier gear. Connect the chain that prevents the turning motion of the protective cover to slot B (Figure
5). Hang the cardan shaft from hook A (Figure 5) when the machine is not being operated and it is disconnected
from the tractor. Finally, ensure that all connections are safe and secure. Never use a damaged or unprotected
cardan shaft.
Note! Tractor-powered machines must be attached to the lifting equipment of the tractor.
