2.7 Bringing the conveyor into the transport position
1. Bringing the conveyor into the transport position is done in the same
manner as bringing it into the work position, but in reverse order.
2. NOTE! Only lift the conveyor when it has been swung to the centre
position! When it is lifted up, the conveyor must always be in the centre
position. If the conveyor is in a swung position while lifted up, it may hit
the surrounding structures and get damaged.
2.8 Bringing the in-feed conveyor to the work position, Fig. 2.1
1. Transfer the loop of the winch to the
hole in the plate of the conveyor's
extension part.
2. Keep the wire rope tight.
3. Release the lock bolt.
4. Lower the extension part by means
of the winch so that the holes in the
support leg pipe align with the holes
in the support legs.
5. Release the winch hook from the in-
feed conveyor.
6. Bringing the extension part of the
in-feed conveyor to the transport
position proceeds in the reverse
order.
2.9 Changing the splitting wedge, Fig. 2.11
As standard, the machine comes with a splitting wedge that splits in 8 ways.
In addition, splitting wedges that split in four, six, eight or twelve ways are
available as an option.
To change the splitting wedge, proceed as follows:
1. Undo the locking screw of the splitting wedge rail.
2. Bring the splitting wedge to its most extreme vertical position using the
height adjustment lever on the control panel.
3. Open the splitting cover completely: When
opening the cover, the gas spring thrusts the
cover to its normal open-position. After this,
open the cover completely with your hand so
that the cover turns away from over the
splitting wedge.
4. Twist an eye-bolt into the hole in the upper
surface of the splitting wedge.
5. Attach the wire rope of the winch to the loop
of the eye-bolt and lift away the splitting
wedge.
6. Lower the replacement splitting wedge onto
its rails by means of the winch. Make sure
that the splitting wedge is set in its upper
position.
