Tractor drive
A tractor-powered firewood processor is
connected to the tractor’s three-point lifting
devices and cardan shaft. To connect the
machine to the cardan shaft, you have to move
protective cover A of the socket and multiplier
gear into a position where it covers the socket
(in combi models).
Connecting the cardan shaft is a task for only
one person. When connecting the machine to
the tractor, there must be no one in the tractor
cabin, so as to prevent any accidental contact
with the controls. Check all the connecting
devices of the tractor and the firewood
processor before connecting them. Never use
faulty equipment.
The 3-pin power cable for the electric controls is
connected to the tractor’s 12 V socket for a
work machine (Figure 14).
Figure 12.
When using the cardan shaft, observe any instructions provided by the manufacturer of the shaft. The
machine requires 15 kW of power, which must be taken into account with regard to the capacity of the
cardan shaft. A suitable cardan shaft is of power class four. Make sure that the connected shaft is locked
to the splined shaft of the multiplier gear. Connect the chain that prevents the turning motion of the
protective cover to slot B (2 options). Hang the cardan shaft from hook C when the machine is not being
operated and when it is disconnected from the tractor. Finally, ensure that all connections are safe and
secure. Never use a damaged or unprotected cardan shaft.
Note! Tractor-powered machines must be attached to the lifting equipment of the tractor.
Note! The starter (Figure 15) only functions when the machine is powered by electricity.
