10 INSTALLING PTO DRIVESHAFT The og spitter can be driven by a PTO driveshaft (not provided with the og spitter) that transmits torque from tractor during norma operation. The PTO driveshaft represents exterme danger. Ready and understand a of the safety and operating instructions manua that came with the PTO driveshaft... Back the rear of the tractor toward the og spitter. Position the ower draft arms cose enough to the spitter s hookup pins. Appy the tractor parking brake and turn the engine off. Bock the rear whees on both sides in front and back with wedges or other appropriate objects. 3. Side the ower draft arms onto the spitter hookup pins and secure with ocking pins.. Position the upper draft arm inside the mounting bracket and aign with the mounting bracket hoes. Insert the hitch pin to secure the upper draft arm in pace. The PTO shaft end from the gearbox has a diameter of -3/8" (3.8mm) and a -spine fitting (standard category PTO). 5. Side the PTO driveshaft over the PTO shaft ends on the gearbox and tractor respectivey. Press inward on the spring pins that are ocated on both ends of the PTO driveshaft. Continue siding the driveshaft over the PTO shaft ends unti the spring pins pop out and ock into the detents in the PTO shaft ends. Keep spitter PTO shaft end () and tractor PTO shaft end () parae as viewed from above and from the sides of the shafts. Maintain PTO shaft joint anges ( ) as sma as possibe.. Secure the PTO shaft safety chains to stationary parts of the og spitter and tractor to stop the guard from turning. 0

11 DISCONNECTING PTO DRIVESHAFT Appy a thin coat of grease to the surfaces of the ram before operation wi engthen the durabiity of the ram... Reduce tractor throtte to IDLE before disengaging PTO. Appy the parking brake and turn off the engine. Pu up the ocking pins and side the ower draft arms of the tractor off from the spitter hookup pins. 3. Pu up the hitch pin and side the upper draft arm off from the mounting bracket.. Reease the spring pins ocated on both ends of the driveshaft. Side the PTO driveshaft off from the PTO shaft ends on the gearbox and tractor respectivey. TRANSPORTATION 3-point attachment to tractor aows the og spitter to be moved easiy. Aow for added ength in driving situations, e.g., when turning, parking, and crossing intersections. Before transporting, be certain the og spitter is correcty and securey attached to the tractor and the safe chains of the PTO are in pace. Make sure the og spitter is raised high enough to cear a obstaces during transportation. Never transport the og spitter with the PTO engaged. SPLITTER OPERATION Pan your work site. Work safey and save effort by panning your work before hand. Have your ogs positioned where they can be easiy reached. Have a site ocated to stack the spit wood or oad it onto a nearby truck or other carrier. Position the og spitter on soid eve ground. Beed the air out of the hydrauic system before starting the og spitter. The cover of the hydrauic oi tank shoud be oosened by some rotations unti air can go in and out of the oi tank smoothy. Air fow thru the oi tank fier shoud be detectabe during the operations. Before moving the og spitter, make sure the cover of the oi tank is tightened to avoid oi eaking from this point. Faied to oosen the oi tank cover wi keep the seaed air in hydrauic system being compressed after being decompressed. Such continuous air compression and decompression wi bow out the seas of the hydrauic system and cause permant damage to the og spitter. Turn the motor switch to the ON position to start the og spitter. To stop the machine, just turn the motor switch to the OFF position.

12 Make sure the direction of motor rotation. Turn the motor on, the wedge ram shoud rise to the highest position automaticay. If the wedge ram is aready at the highest position when the motor starts, grip both contro evers and ower them, the wedge ram shoud start to move downward. In case, no ram motion detected after the motor starts, power off the motor immediatey to change motor poarity by turning the poe switching device inside the pug with a screwdriver. 00V 3N Never aow motor running at counter direction. This wi damage the pump and wi void the warranty. The PTO of the tractor can power a separate hydrauic pump on the og spitter to perform the function of spitting ogs. Set tractor throtte at IDLE before engaging PTO with og spitter attached. Increase tractor throtte to RUN RPM s required to obtain 50 rpm PTO speed before spitting. Reduce tractor throtte to IDLE before disengaging PTO. Operate the spring-oaded retract contro ever to ift wedge above the height of og to be spit. Danger of og spitter tipping due to torque resuting during operating, causing serious injuries and damage. Log spitter must be secured by using 3-point attachment to tractor. Tractor hydrauics makes the og spitter secure against tipping over during operation, and yet aows it to be moved easiy. Aways ensure parking brake is engaged on tractor and the rear whees are bocked with whee chocks both sides in front and back.

13 To disenage the retract contro eve by removing the oading spring wi aow the wedge ram to retract automaticay after both contro handes are reeased. Do not remove jammed ogs with your hands. Never use another peope to hep you with freeing jammed og. Stack as you work. This wi provide a safer work area, by keeping it uncuttered, and avoid the danger of tripping, or damaging the power cord. Accumuated spit wood and wood chips can create a hazardous work environment. Never continue to work in a cuttered work area which may cause you to sip, trip or fa. FREE A JAMMED LOG Pace the og onto the support tabe verticay, sitting fat on the support tabe and push it against the hangnai to secure it. Be sure the wedge and support tabe wi contact the og squarey on the ends. Never attempt to spit a og at an ange. Lower the wedge unti the og is spitted open. Do not attempt to spit green ogs. Dry, seasoned ogs spit much more easiy, and wi not jam as frequenty as green wood. Break og in the direction of its growing grain. Do not pace og across the og spitter for spitting. It may be dangerous and may seriousy damage the machine. Do not remove jammed ogs with your hands. If jammed, stop the motor or tractor, and oosen the og by a downward stroke on the og with a hammer. REPLACING OIL The hydrauic system is a cosed system with oi tank, oi pump and contro vave. Low oi eves can damage the oi pump. Check oi eve reguary with dipstick. The oi shoud be competey changed once a year. Foowing hydrauic ois or equivaent are recommend for the og spitter s hydrauic transmission system: SHELL Teus MOBIL DTE ARAL Vitam GF BP Energo HLP-HM 3

14 Read dipstick to determine the maximum and minimum of the oi eve. Low oi can damage the oi pump. Overfiing can resut in excessive temperature in the hydrauic transmission system. Appy seaant to fier pug and reinsta it. Foowing an oi change, activate the og spitter a few times without actuay spitting. Oi fier pug Oi drain pug SHARPENING WEDGE This og spitter is equipped with reinforced spitting wedge which bade is speciay treated. After ong periods of operation, and when required, sharpen the wedge using a fine-toothed fie removing any burrs or fat spots on the edge. GEARBOX LUBRICATION Make sure moving parts stop and the og spitter is unpugged and PTO driveshaft is disconnected. Use a drain pan to aid in the remova of a used oi and partices. Remove oi drain pug to drain oi from the hydrauic transmission system. Examine oi for meta chips as a precaution to future probems. After oi has been competey drained from the machine, reinsta drain pug. Add the hydrauic transmission system with recommended oi through fier pug opening. Max. Min.
