4.1.C - For machines driven by cardan shaft (VSD Comby - VSD GC)
•
Make sure the tractor is off, that the parking brake is on and if necessary that the wheels are chocked.
•
Connect the log splitter to the three points of the tractor.
•
Connect the cardan shaft to the gearbox (A in fig.4, page 2) to the power take-off of the tractor. The cardan shaft must be of suitable length and
complete with protective cover. Check that it clicks into place.
WARNING
Use CE-marked cardan shaft only. Carefully follow the manufacturer operating instructions
•
Make sure that the control levers are in neutral position.
•
After connecting the log splitter, start the tractor and check that the cardan shaft turns in the direction indicated on the data plate on the gearbox
(see par. 1.1 “SYMBOLS USED”).
•
Position the accelerator at a suitable rpm for your tractor so that the engine provides sufficient power for correct functioning of the log splitter and
check that the power take-off does not exceed 440 rpm as shown on the data plate.
WARNING
Follow the few very important rules indicated above to avoid problems that could cause injury or damage.
WARNING
Never touch the cardan shaft or any other rotating parts. This is extremely dangerous and may cause injury or damage.
4.1.D - For machines with hydraulic loader (optional)
The machines in this series can be equipped, under request, with an hydraulic loader, which enables the operator to position heavy logs under the
blade without any effort.
The device is activated by an additional distributor (11 in fig. 1b, page 2)
By activating the lever upwards, the loader lifts the log until it is almost in vertical position. By releasing the lever it returns to the neutral position and
the loader remains in the desired position.
By activating the lever downwards, the loader comes back to the horizontal position (on the ground) ready for the next cycle.
The log should be positioned against the stops, (13 in fig.1b) to avoid it slipping on the base of the log splitter instead of being lifted.
Once lifted, the log should be positioned under the wedge, as illustrated in section 5.2.
WARNING
NOBODY MUST STAND IN THE RANGE OF OPERATION OF THE MACHINE.
REMEMBER THAT THE MACHINE SHOULD BE ACTIVATED BY ONLY ONE PERSON
4.2 - Opening the cylinder
Before using the log splitter, the cylinder must be lifted as follows:
•
Position a piece of wood under the wedge, on the work surface (fig.6, page 3)
•
Activate both the control levers downwards: the cylinder will rise and the wedge will remain resting on the base.
•
Release the right lever (2 in fig.12, page 4) and insert the cylinder check pins in the appropriate holes (fig.8a and 8b, page 3)
•
Release also the left lever, therefore activate both the control levers upwards, until they clamp. The wedge will now rise in the upper position,
ready to start working
•
At the end of the stroke the stopping device bring automatically the levers in the neutral position.
WARNING
NEVER MOVE THE LOG SPLITTER WHEN THE CYLINDER IS LIFTED. THE MANUFACTURER IS NOT LIABLE FOR INJURY TO PERSONS,
ANIMALS OR OTHER THINGS CAUSED BY TRANSPORTING THE LOG SPLITTER WITH THE CYLINDER LIFTED.
4.3 - Lighting
Lighting must be provided in the entire work area of the log splitter to ensure perfect visibility when operating the machine and during maintenance and
adjustments. Even when working outdoors, there must be sufficient light to work safely. Working at times when insufficient light may result in poor
visibility of the machine and its components (dawn, dusk, night) is forbidden.
