3 Operation of the firewood processor powered by different power
sources
The Palax Combi M firewood processor may be driven by a tractor, an electric motor or a
combustion engine.
3.1 Powered by a tractor
Always hitch the machine to the three-point linkage of the tractor.
A suitable power take-off drive shaft is, for example, a BONDIOLI A 3 or
WALTERSCHEID W 2100.
No safety clutch is required for the power take-off shaft.
Only use fault-free power take-off drive shafts and attach the chains of the shaft-guard
to the machine.
As you disconnect the power take-off shaft from the tractor, support it using the hook
on the machine.
The machine is equipped with 22 mm pins and 28 mm bushings. If you only use 28 mm
pins, we recommend attaching the bushings at their outer ends to the 22 mm pins by
small welded seams to prevent them from getting lost.
If the power take-off of the tractor has a high-speed range, then it should be used,
because the horsepower requirement of the circular saw is small.
Make sure that the speed of the power take-off shaft does not exceed 540 r.p.m.
The suitable revolutions range is 450…500 r.p.m.
3.2 Emergency stop switch of the tractor powered machine, Figure 12
The machine powered by a tractor is equipped with a
special emergency stop device to immediately disengage
the transmission between the angular gear and the saw-
blade shaft.
In case of an emergency, draw the lever A to the rear and
push it down.
Operation of the clutch, Figure 12
The V-belts between the angular gear and the saw-
blade shaft are tightened by means of a lever with
eccentric plate.
To tighten the belts, turn the clutch lever A upwards. Thus the push rod pushes the
angular gear bed downwards and the belts tighten.
To slacken the belts, push the lever forward in the direction of the arrow.
The tightness of the V-belts may be suitably adjusted by means of the M16 thread at
the end of the push rod.
Adjusting the clutch, Figure 13
Unscrew the lower nut 3 (24 mm spanner).
Correspondingly, tighten the upper nut 2.
The angular gear bed tilts at the joints 4 and the belts
tighten.
When tightening the V-belts, the clutch lever must be
in the tightening position, i.e. turned to the upright
position.
If the tension of the V-belts is correct, then the
adjustment of the clutch is also right.
The tightness of the V-belts is controlled as follows:
push the V-belts through the opening (1) using about
3 cm wide and about 50 cm long wooden strip.
