1.
Move the last log up using a log peavey as a lever inserted
into holes at side of chute.
2.
Move the log up for each cut until it is fully processed.
Be aware of the heavy log stabilizer. Use caution when
finishing up the last log.

CAUTION!
Risk of serious injury. Never attempt to push a
log through the stabilizer opening by hand. The
stabilizer could drop suddenly and cause serious
injury. Always use appropriate procedure and
tools to push or pull the log through the opening.
6.14 Efficient Processing
We recommend following this procedure for an effective work
flow:
1.
Move log into the wood processor with winch.
2.
Cut log and let the block roll into the splitting cradle, then
engage the splitter.
3.
While the log is being split, winch the log into position for
the next cut.
4.
Make the next cut and let the block roll into the splitting
cradle.
5.
Repeat until complete.
6.15 Machine Break-In
Although there are no operational restrictions on the Wood
Processor when used for the first time, it is recommended that
the following mechanical items be checked:
After 1–5 hours of operation:
1.
Check all nuts, bolts, and other fasteners. Tighten to their
specified torque.
2.
Check hydraulic system for leaks. Tighten all leaking fittings
and replace any leaking components.
3.
Check machine hydraulic oil reservoir. Top up as required.
4.
Check condition of winch.
5.
Check the condition of the rope. Replace if cut, knotted,
worn or if it has any broken strands.
6.
Check for entangled material. Remove all entangled material
before resuming work.
7.
Lubricate all grease fittings.
After 20 hours of operation:
8.
Repeat steps 1 through 7 listed above.
9.
Go to the normal servicing and maintenance schedule as
defined in the Service and Maintenance section. See
