Operating the machine
3.1 Acknowledging the hazards and responsibilities involved
Operators of the machine must familiarise themselves with and observe the instructions in the user manual.
Incorrect operation of the machine (for example, modifying the operation of the machine) may compromise
the operator’s safety. In these cases, the responsibility for the consequences falls on the operator.
3.2 Before use
Read the manual carefully and familiarise yourself with the warning labels and their meanings. Observe these
instructions. The operator must ensure that the machine and its safety equipment work as intended. The
operator is responsible for maintaining the machine. Neglecting to maintain the machine or use the safety
equipment will void the guarantee. Familiarise yourself with the operation and functions of the machine before
beginning operation.
1.Visually check that the machine has not been damaged.
2.Ensure that the machine has been installed firmly in place (see Section 2.3).
3.Check the machine for oil leaks.
4.Ensure that the machine’s power source is correctly connected (see Section 2.3).
5.Ensure that all of the machine’s components and guards are in place (see Section 2.2 and 2.3).
6.Ensure that no unauthorised persons are in the danger zone.
7.Start the firewood processor. Ensure that the firewood processor operates as described in its instructions.
8.If the log rack is equipped with a hydraulic feed roller, ensure that the roller operates correctly (see Section 2.3).
9.Ensure that you have read and adhered to Section 1.6 "Safety instructions".
3.3 Operating the machine
Load a suitable number of logs (max 3,000
kg) on the rack, and move them manually
onto the feed rollers one at a time. From the
feed rollers, push the logs onto the machine's
input conveyor by hand or, if the machine
features a hydraulic feed roller (accessory),
activate the firewood processor's feed, which
also starts up the log rack's hydraulic feed
roller.
ENSURE THAT THE LOGS STAY FIRMLY ON THE RACK AND CANNOT FALL
OFF!
DO NOT LOAD MORE THAN 3,000 KG OF LOGS ON THE RACK AT ANY ONE
TIME!
