9. Operating Instructions
9.1 Start the Engine
WARNING!
Never operate the engine indoors. Park the
machine outdoors in a position where the
prevailing winds blow the exhaust away from
you.
Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide (CO)
that can quickly accumulate to a dangerous
level. Carbon monoxide can cause illness,
unconsciousness, or death.
W072
Refer to the engine manufacturer owner's manual for further
information.
• The firewood processor should be set up to work, all pre-
start checks completed and otherwise ready to operate.
• Check all hydraulic control levers are in neutral (out of
detent).
Procedure:
1. Pull out (close) the choke (1) if the engine is cold.

2. Move the throttle (2) up to 1/4 throttle position.
3. Turn the ignition key (3) clockwise to start the engine.
Release the key when the engine starts. The key will return
to the run position when released. Do not crank the engine
continuously more than 10 seconds. Allow a 60 second
interval between starting attempts.
4. Idle the engine for a few minutes to allow it to warm up.
Gradually push the choke control knob in as the engine
warms.
5. Increase throttle setting to 3000–3500 rpm. Maximum
engine speed is required for smooth operation of
hydraulics.
9.1.1 Stopping Procedure
1. Stop cutting and splitting logs. Clear all split wood out. Let
hydraulic controls go to their neutral position.
2. Move the throttle to idle position to slow the engine speed
and allow it to cool down.
3. Turn off the ignition switch to stop the engine.
9.1.2 Stopping in an Emergency
• Shut off the engine
• Set all hydraulic controls to neutral
• Correct fault situation before restarting engine and
resuming work.
9.2 Start Up in Cold Weather
In cold weather, the following methods can be used to warm up
the Firewood processor before putting it to work.
Engine
• Use proper oil for temperature expected. See page 60.
• Disengage all possible external loads.
• Use fresh winter grade fuel. Winter grade fuel has higher
volatility to improve starting.
After start-up, leave the engine speed at low idle for 30 seconds
so that the oil has warmed enough to provide proper lubrication.
Gradually return choke control to OFF. Equipment may be
operated during warm-up period, but it may be necessary to
leave choke partially on until engine warms up.
Hydraulic System
NOTE! If oil in the hydraulic circuit is cold, hydraulic functions
may move slowly.
Leave the engine at low idle speed. Warm the hydraulic oil by
extending the splitter cylinder to the end of its stroke, then hold
the valve part way open for about two minutes. Monitor the
pressure gauge to keep it under 1000 psi.
Cycle all hydraulic functions. This warms the oil and circulates
it through cylinders, motors, lines, and valves in the control
circuits.
