2.4 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 de-
vices of the tractor and the firewood
processor before connecting them.
Never use faulty equipment.
Figure 9.
When using the cardan shaft, observe any instructions provided by the manufacturer of the shaft. The ma-
chine requires 5.5 kW of power, which must be taken into account with regard to the capacity of the car-
dan 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 guard to
hole B (Figure 9). Hang the cardan shaft from hook A (Figure 9) 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.
