3 DRIVING POWER
The Palax C700 Combi firewood processor may be driven by a tractor, an electric
motor or a combustion engine.
3.1 Powered by a tractor
 Always connect the machine to the tractor’s three-point linkage and ensure that the
space reserved for the PTO-shaft and its guard is sufficient.
 A suitable size for power take-off drive shaft is, for example, a BONDIOLI 143 or
WALTERSCHEID W 2100.
 No safety clutch is required for the PTO-shaft.
 Only use fault-free PTO-shafts and always attach the chains for the shaft-guard to
the machine.
NOTE! When you disconnect the PTO-shaft from the tractor, hang it in the
hook on the machine.
 The machine comes with towing pins of 28 mm.
 If the power take-off of the tractor has a high-speed range, then it should be used,
because the horsepower requirement of the circular saw is small.
 Make sure that the speed of the power take-off shaft does not exceed 450 r.p.m.
3.2 Revolutions range of the PTO-shaft
 The suitable revolutions range is 400-450 r.p.m.
3.3 Stop switch of the tractor-
powered machine (Figure 7)
 The tractor-powered machine is equipped
with a special emergency stop device to
immediately disengage the transmission
between the angular gear and the saw-blade
shaft.
 In case of emergency, pull the lever A.
 When lever A is pulled, tightening wheel B
swings down and the V-belts slacken (Figure
8). Disengagement lever A locks up and the
belts remain slack.
