The high-speed valve is intended for smaller trees, 10 - 15 cm in diameter.
If the cylinder force is not sufficient to enable splitting of the wood with the high-speed
movement, turn the control lever of the valve to the normal position. The machine does
not need to be stopped for switching.
5.3 Automatic high-speed valve
An automatic high-speed valve, with splitting motion always at high-speed, is available as
an option.
The speed decreases only for a short while as the required splitting force increases when
thick logs are being processed. As the log starts to split, the force requirement immediately
drops and the splitting motion resumes the high-speed operation.
The automatic high-speed valve speeds up processing of the firewood considerably and at
the same time reduces the load on the transmission. The automatic valve is also available
for retro-fitting.
5.4 Splitting wedges
Short, straight wedge, optional
The short straight wedge for splitting the wood in 2 ways or, if the wedge is lowered
down, no splitting at all.
In 2/4 ways, standard
The standard wedge for splitting in two or four ways.
In 2/6 ways, option
A wedge for splitting the log in two or six ways
Normally requires a cylinder of 5.6 tons.
5.5 Manual adjustment of the splitting blade, Figure 21
The machine is equipped with a manual system for height-
adjustment of the wedge.
The lever with friction plate for stepless adjustment keeps the
wedge at the correct height at all times.
The stiffness of the lever movement can be adjusted by
tightening the Belleville-springs A of the friction plate.
Note!
Never use grease on the friction plates.
5.6 Hydraulic height adjustment of the splitting blade, optional
The splitting blade may also be adjusted hydraulically
by means of the lever on the cross-cut deck.
For hydraulic adjustment a small side flow is diverted
from the main oil flow by means of a flow regulation
valve.
