5.3 PRE-OPERATION CHECKLIST
Efficient and safe operation of the Firewood 3-Point Hitch Branch Logger requires that
each operator reads and understands the using procedures and all related safety
precautions outlined in this section. A pre-operation checklist is provided for the operator.
It is important for both the personal safety and maintaining good mechanical condition
that this checklist is followed. Before operating the Branch logger and each time
thereafter, the following areas should be checked off:
1. Lubricate the machine per the schedule outline in the Maintenance Section.
2. Check the rotor, blades and twig-breaker. Remove any twine, wire or other material
that has become entangled.
3. Check the condition and clearance of the twigbreaker, rotor and stationary blades.
Adjust or replace as required.
4. Check that all bearings turn freely. Replace any that are rough or seized.
5. Make sure that all guards and shields are in place, secured and functioning as designed.
6. Check the condition of the curtain in the feed hopper. It must be in good condition to
prevent chips from flying out.
5.4 DRIVELINE DIMENSION
A PTO driveline is supplied with the machine. To
accompany the variety of 3 point hitch geometry available
today, the driveline can be too long for most machines or
too short for others. It is very important that the driveline
be free to telescope but not to bottom out when going
through its working range. If the driveline bottoms out, the
bearings on both the machine and tractor PTO shaft will
be overloaded and fail in a short time.
