5. MACHINE START-UP
Before starting up the machine always check the chain tension and re-tension the chain, if
necessary!
A loose chain can cause vibrations, which can have a negative effect on the operation of the
drive belt. The increased level of vibrations can also damage the drive belt.
Before machine start-up remove all wood residues and other particles from the splitting chute.
Check the hydraulic oil level and chain lubrication oil level before machine start-up!
Before machine operation check the machine functions, and particularly the function of the
safety devices. Follow the steps below.
• Check the faultless operation of the machine and equipment, as well as the chain lubrication.
• Set the manual tractor throttle to minimum.
• Lift the machine cover to disengage the safety switch and disable all the main functions of the
machine.
• Engage the PTO shaft drive and start the machine.
• Manually add throttle to set the required PTO shaft rotational speed (420 min-¹).
• Install the machine cover.
• Check the function of the emergency STOP switch (EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN).
• Follow the RCA 480 operating instructions
(See chapter: Operating the RCA 480 JOY).
Set the in-feed conveyor lifting mechanism in the operating position, open the guide plate and, if
necessary, move the side cylinders to the suitable position according to the feeding direction of the
logs on the in-feed conveyor.
When the outdoor temperature drops under 0°C leave the machine idling for 5 minutes to allow
the hydraulic system to warm-up to reach the operating temperature (the hydraulic pipes feel
warm).
The machine can be operated by only one person! Ensure that there is no
other person in the vicinity of the machine.
