• The cardan shaft end of the gearbox has a
diameter of 34.8 mm and a connection with 6
teeth (standard category 1 cardan).
6. Slide the cardan drive shaft over the cardan shaft
end on the gearbox and on the drive vehicle.
Press in the spring pins located at both ends of
the cardan shaft drive. Push the drive shaft fur-
ther over the ends of the cardan shaft until the
spring pins spring out and engage in the teeth of
the end of the cardan shaft.
7. Align the cardan shaft
Viewed from above and from the side of the shaft,
the cardan shaft end on the firewood splitter (15)
and the cardan shaft end on the drive vehicle (16)
must be aligned parallel. The angles of the univer-
sal joints (α) must be as small as possible.
8. Secure the safety chain of the cardan shaft drive
to a fixed part of the firewood processor and the
drive vehicle to prevent the protective device from
turning.
Check the running direction of the drive vehicle's
cardan shaft. If the splitting arm is not in the up-
per position, move the splitting blade to the up-
per position using the return bow or handles.
If the splitting arm is already in the top position, acti-
vate the splitting mechanism by moving the two levers
downwards. This moves the splitting arm downwards.
If the splitting blade does not move despite actuating
the handles or the return bow, stop the cardan shaft
drive and change its direction of rotation.
Never allow the cardan shaft drive to run with the
wrong direction of rotation! This will inevitably
lead to the destruction of the pump system and
no warranty claim can be made for this.
Using the guard arm (Fig. 15)
The height of the guard arm can be set at various
stages to suit the length of the wood.
Splitting (Fig. 16 + 17)
If the outside temperature is below 5°C, allow the
•
machine to idle for approx. five minutes so that the
hydraulic system reaches operating temperature.
Stand the wood upright under the splitting blade
Attention: The splitting blade is very sharp.
Danger of injury!
When you press both adjustment levers down, the
•
splitting blade moves downwards and splits the
wood.
Only split logs that have been sawn off straight.
•
Split wood vertically.
•
Never split horizontally or across the grain!
•
• Wear suitable gloves and safety shoes when split-
ting wood.
If the wood is extremely overgrown, split the trunks
•
from the outline.
Attention: Certain types of wood can come un-
der a lot of tension during splitting and crack
abruptly.
Pull out jammed wood against the splitting di-
•
rection or remove it by moving the riving knife
upwards. Attention: Danger of injury.
Operation of the trunk lifter (6)
General information about the trunk lifter:
• The chain of the trunk lifter may only be attached
to the splitting blade using the last link for safety
reasons.
• Ensure that no other people are present in the
working range of the trunk lifter.
Operation of the trunk lifter:
• Release the retaining hook of the trunk lifter so that
the lifting tube can run freely.
• Move the splitting blade down until the lifting tube of
the trunk lifter lies completely on the floor.
• In this position, you can roll the trunk to the split
onto the lifting tube
(The trunk must lie in the area between the two
fixing points)
• Push the return bow down and let the splitting
blade move up.
(Caution! Do not stand in the working range of
the trunk lifter! Danger of injury!)
• Now align the trunk, press it against the holding
mandrel and split it
(Refer to: Working instructions)
• Then remove the split wood and move the riving
knife and thus the trunk lifter down again.
• A new log can now be rolled onto the trunk lifter.
Resetting the trunk lifter.
This is used as a second guard arm when not using
the trunk lifter. To do this, the arm is raised until it
engages on the retaining hook.
Transport position of the trunk lifter:
Guide the trunk lifter up by hand until it latches into
place.
Observe these instructions to ensure that you
can work quickly and safely
11. Electrical connection
The electrical motor installed is connected and ready
for operation. The connection complies with the ap-
plicable VDE and DIN provisions.
The customer's mains connection as well as the ex-
tension cable used must also comply with these reg-
ulations.
