13 Saw Chain Engagement and Speed Plate The Saw Chain and engagement paddle is used to control when the chain starts to spin and also the speed that it spins. When the 2 bolts are loosened the paddle moves freely up, down and side to side. Fig. 1 shows the paddle adjusted to engage the plunger as soon the handle is moved down, this saw blade is engaged as soon as the plunger is depressed. Fig. 2 shows the paddle engaging the change at full speed, the further in the plunger is pushed the faster the saw blade will turn. 42) Open tool box 43) Remove roller travel mount and bolt to processor, 2 13mm bolts and nuts 13

14 44) Mount toolbox, 2 13mm bolts and nuts 45) Undo 10mm bolt and nut on back of large safety cage, put bolt through loop in safety wire and put the nut back on loosely, this should be adjusted so when the cover opens the manual engagement lever moves to the down position putting the hydraulic in neutral. If this cable is to tight you will not be able to pull the Saw Bar Handle all the way through the log and the manual engagement handle may not be able to be pushed down to engage the ram, if it is too loose it will not pull the hydraulics into neutral when the cover is opened. 46) Mount splitter height adjustment plate, 2 18mm bolts x 19mm nuts, do not tighten in place yet 47)Mount handle to splitter adjustment bar, tighten only until lock nut grabs 14

15 48) Thread handle through adjustment plate and slide the bottom shaft into tube at base of unit, force through and put safety put through hole 49) Pull lever to highest position, make sure that the pin the splitter wedge sits on is against the base of splitter, tighten plate adjustment bolts 50) Install splitter bar 51) Mount fenders using the 2 long 13mm bolts and nuts supplied with each fender, make sure that if the fender has signal light mounting holes they face to the rear, repeat on opposite side 15

16 52) Remove cotter pin from fixed position roller shaft on log roll arm, rollers are not marked so you may have to trial fit to see which roller is in the fixed position 53) Set log roller arm in position at front of processor, line up holes and re-insert pin through processor mount, log roller arm and roller, re-install cotter pin 54) Fold log roller arm into travel position and make sure travel safety pin slides into place, adjust mount position if necessary 55) Remove 16mm bolt x 17mm nut from drawbar 56) Slide drawbar into tube on front of processor, Re-install and tighten 16mm bolt x 17mm nut, loosen 18mm nuts on 2 retainer bolts, tighten bolts against drawbar, then re-tighten nuts to lock into position 16

17 57) Remove 16mm bolts x 17mm nuts from drawbar, install jack and tighten bolts 58) Tighten bolts on drawbar coupler 59) Remove battery, remove Styrofoam spacer beneath battery and discard, If battery is not prefilled - remove battery caps, fill battery with battery acid to levels shown on battery, replace battery caps, re-install battery 60) remove 10mm nut, lockwasher and flatwasher from starter solenoid 17

18 61) Install loop from red wire onto stud of solenoid and re-install washer and nut, do not overtighten nut 62) Remove 13mm bolt from hydraulic pump mount, put ring from black wire on bolt and re-install 63) Open conveyor box, remove shrinkwrap from conveyor, box includes Conveyor Top Section Belt Lower Section, includes Hydraulic pump 18

19 Hopper Top Roller 64) lay lower conveyor section in position at end of processor, remove all bolts from Hopper 65) Place conveyor belt around lower drive roller, make sure cleats are facing the right direction 66) Put Hopper in Place 19

20 67) Install 8 Allan Head Bolts and nuts, Tighten 68) Pull leg out of holders and re-intall in top tube only, place lower conveyor in place and install 2 mount bolts, do not tighten, conveyor must swivel 69) Unscrew top roller tensioner 70) Put Conveyor top section in place 20

21 71) Install 2 allan head bolts, do not tighten as this must swivel, tighten latch at joint 72) Slide top roller into place and pull belt into position 73) Install lower side extensions, lower end mounts with an allan head bolt x17mm nut, bolt on motor side is also used to secure chain for leg Upper end is secured with 13mm Bolts, spacers and nuts, the travel cable is also installed with theses bolts 21

22 75) Hook up hydraulic hoses, one from processor to conveyor, 1 from conveyor to processor using quick connects 76) When conveyor is in travel position unhook hydraulic hoses from conveyor and loopback (processor hose to processor quick connect, conveyor hose to conveyor disconnect 77) Check engine oil, top up or fill as necessary 78) Add bar oil 79) Add 20L aw32 hydraulic oil 80) Install NGK BPR6ES (or Equivalent) Spark Plug 81) Check all bolts, hoses and fittings, including engine mount bolts to make sure nothing is loose 82) Add fuel to engine fuel tank, do not fill above red level marker in tank neck, the tank vents through the cap, if fuel is above this line engine will not run very well and will stall 22

23 83) While supporting conveyor pull out safety pins and slowly lower unit, adjust leg until conveyor is at desired height, attach safety chain to catch at bottom of leg 84) Unfold conveyor so that it is full length, pull pin and engage locking clasp between upper and lower conveyor, re-insert pin 85) Remove travel cable from operator side of conveyor, let it hang out of the way on opposite side 86) Turn adjusting bolt until conveyor is snug, if belt is too loose drive pulley will spin without turning belt, if it is too tight a jammed piece of wood could tear belt 23

24 87) Grease conveyor bearings, 2 at top of conveyor, 1 at bottom 88) Make sure that manual ram engagement bar is in up position, Start engine and let idle until engine and hydraulic oil are at operating temperature 89) While engine is warming up, adjust conveyor belt to run in center of upper and lower pulleys, upper puller has bolts on either side for adjustment Lower puller only has adjustment bolts on side opposite of drive motor 90) When unit is up to operating temperature operate saw and ram multiple times to make sure the are adjusted and working properly 91) Shut unit off 92) Check all nuts, bolts, hose and fittings one more time, check for leaks 93) Tighten and Loctite the 4 Engine to Frame mount Bolts 24
