3.2. Setting up the machine for operation

Place the firewood processor by the log-deck or the pile of logs to be split so, that access to-
from and working with the machine is completely unobstructed. A suitable distance from the
log-deck to the in-feed conveyor is about 1/4–1/3 of the length of the trunks.

Set up the discharge and in-feed conveyors 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. Once the cover is
open, the hydraulic valves cannot be operated with the exception of the firewood conveyor.

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!
