Starting the electric motor
The machine is equipped with an automatic Y-D starter.
Press the start button. Fig. 19 - 2. In position Y, the motor starts rotating at a slow speed and a
low output. The start phase takes several seconds.
As the engine speed increases, the position D will be switched on and the motor quickly picks up
full speed. The signal light between the start and stop switches will be illuminated as soon as the
position D is switched on. Fig. 19 - 3.
NOTE!
The machine must not be operated until the motor has picked up full speed, because
the electric motor has a very low output in position Y.
Warming up the oil tank of an electrically powered machine
A piece of optional equipment for cold conditions
In frosty conditions, the hydraulic oil is cold and quite viscous. The firewood processor has
parts that move during the starting phase, such as the conveyor that is driven by a hydraulic
motor, and the two oil pumps.
An electric motor has a tendency to pick up speed quite rapidly. Because the oil is viscous,
the thermo-relay will trip preventing the motor from starting.
If the machine is used under cold conditions, the hydraulic tank should preferably be
equipped with a heater carpet.
Heater carpet for the oil tank
The carpet is fixed to the lower part of the tank
The output of the carpet is 300 W.
The heater carpet is equipped with a thermostat that prevents it from overheating.
Warming up for about an hour is sufficient at a temperature of -15 degrees Centigrade.
There is a switch for the heater as standard in the starter box. Fig. 19 - 1.
