Using the Conveyor
Read the following sections of this manual:
- Bringing the conveyor into the transport position (page 9)
- Bringing the conveyor into the work position (page 7)
- Installing and adjusting the conveyor belt
- Adjusting the inclination of the conveyor (page 8)
In addition to the above-mentioned sections, the following must be observed:
- The work position of the conveyor must be adjusted to such an angle that the
conveyor will be able to take away all finished firewood.
-
At its lowest position, the top end of the conveyor should be no lower than
approx. 1.8 m above the ground
. If the conveyor is positioned lower than this, its
transmission from the drive belt to the conveyor will be prevented.
-
The top end of the conveyor should be no higher than approx. 2.5 m above the
ground
.
If the conveyor is at an angle steeper than this:
- pieces of wood may pile up behind the splitting blade in front of the
conveyor and longer pieces may hit the conveyor chute bottom, thus
damaging the conveyor;
- pieces of wood may tumble down from the top of the conveyor, thus
creating a dangerous situation.
When processing firewood ensure that:
- the firewood falling down from the conveyor hits the intended platform, cage, bed,
etc;
- the platform, cage, bed, etc. is not filled with more firewood than it is intended to hold;
- the firewood load to be transported is structured in a way that no firewood can fall
from it during transportation;
- the distance between the top end of the conveyor and the firewood heap is no less
than approx. 50 cm, to avoid the jamming the conveyor belt due to accumulated
processed firewood;
- the conveyor is brought into the transport position even for short transfers (pages 7-
9);
- if the machine is moved to another place at the chopping site, ensure the machine or
conveyor does not hit the pile of chopped firewood;
- the lower end of the conveyor and splitting chute is kept free of wood waste.
