3. Using the firewood processor, description of operation
3.1. Transmission

All actuators for the machine – including the in-feed roller, the discharge conveyor and the
chain-saw – are equipped with hydraulic motors.

The hydraulic pump of the tractor-driven machine is equipped with a gearbox and a PTO drive.

In the electric-powered and combustion engine-powered machines, the pump is connected
directly to the motor/engine.

In the TR/TR model, the machine is driven by the tractor's own hydraulics.
3.2. Setting up the machine for operation

Place the firewood processor by the log-stand or the pile of logs to be split so that access and
working with the machine is completely unobstructed. A suitable distance from the log-stand to
the in-feed deck is about 1/4–1/3 of the length of the trunks.

Set up the discharge conveyor and the extension table into the work position in accordance with
the guidelines presented above.

Before starting up, check the condition of the operating controls and the safety devices.

Before starting up, always check the levels of the hydraulic oil and the chain oil.
3.3. Testing the machine

When starting the machine in severe frost, allow it first to idle at low speed for about 5 minutes;
this warms up the oil.

While the motor is running, check that the hydraulic system and the controls for shutting off are
operational.

Test that the safety limit switches are operating when the cover is opened. The cutting or
splitting operations of the machine cannot be launched with the cover open.

Check the oil supply to the saw-chain. You may have to adjust the oil flow to the saw-chain, for
example, if the oil is too cold or too warm.

If you observe even a minor malfunction in the operation of the machine, find out the cause and
repair it!

The machine must always be tested before starting its use.
NOTE ! Stop the machine and disengage the power take-off of the tractor or disconnect the power
cord from the socket to locate and repair a possible fault in the machine! Turn the shut-down
switch of the Honda engine of the PM model to position 0!
