4.1. USER’S COMPETENCE
Installation, inspection, and repair of the firewood processor may only be carried by persons who
are
trained
(in the field of mechanics) and
authorised
to perform such work.
4.2. CONNECTING RCA 330 JOY
Use bolts to connect the firewood processor to the three-point tractor hitch. Fix the bottom tractor
hitch bars with the tension screws to allow the machine to move transversely. During machine
transport observe the total weight of the machine. Connect the PTO shaft to the universal joint
and secure it by using a safety chain. Plug the machine control cable into the 12 V tractor outlet.
Check the length of the PTO shaft upon first installation.
Check the length of the PTO shaft by raising and lowering the machine to determine the position
with the minimum distance between the joints. After PTO shaft installation the length of the
pipes must be shorter for approximately 20 mm.
If the PTO shaft is too long, reduce the length as follows:
Use a saw to cut both ends of the steel and plastic pipes to the same length. Then file down, clean
and grease the edges.

When using our machines, we recommend Tajfun PTO Shafts:
The tractor output shaft and machine input shaft should be positioned as parallel as possible!
Otherwise, the PTO shaft’s geometry may cause uneven transmission of the rotation and
subsequent vibrations. If this is not possible, a PTO shaft with two wide-angle joints must be
used, since this is the only PTO shaft that ensures a steady rotation under wide variety of angles.
Always use a PTO shaft without a clutch.
