4.8.6. PULL ANGLE:
It is recommended that the pull angle of the
rope not 25° from the horizontal axis
of the machine. Exceeding that angle can
subject the machine to a tipping load and tip
the machine over.
Use a log peavey to move the log in line with
the Wood Processor to reduce or eliminate the
tipping load.

4.8.7. WOOD DISCHARGE:
The split pieces of log will be pushed out of the
chute as each additional log moves through
the machine. Set the chute at the appropriate
position for making a pile on the ground or into
a trailer, wagon or conveyor.
4.8.8. LOG CHAIN OR STRAP:
A 60" (1.5 m) winch strap is included with the
Wood Processor. A standard log chain works
well and is readily available from your dealer
or distributor. To use the strap or chain, follow
this procedure:
a. Slide the log chain or strap under the log
and connect on the other side. You may
need to roll the log onto the strap / chain
using a log peavey.
b. Extend the rope to the log chain or strap.
c. Connect the hook on the end of the rope to
the end of the log chain or strap.
d. Start engine, engage winch drive lock and
pull the log into the machine.
