4.3 Other hydraulic operating controls, Fig. 11
1. Lightening of the clamp
To raise the clamp, push the lever forward
2. Adjustment valve for the descent speed of the crosscut saw-blade.
When the valve is turned clockwise, the descending speed decreases, and when
turned counter-clockwise, it increases.
For thick logs, it pays to reduce the speed. This decreases the load on the transmis-
sion and the crosscut blade.
Reducing the proceeding speed slightly does not affect the total processing time,
because splitting a thicker log also takes more time.
3. Control lever for the splitting wedge.
Pull it back, the splitting wedge lowers.
Push it forward, the splitting wedge raises.
4. Manual start lever for the splitting stroke
Press the lever to the right to launch the splitting.
Press the lever to the left to stop the splitting and to reverse the cylinder.
5. Adjustment of the cutting length (Palax Optimi)
Use this lever to adjust the cutting length to that desired. The adjusted value can be
read out from the scale.
6. Additional operation, if provided
7. Control lever for the log-deck
Use the operating lever for the Palax Mega log-deck to operate the stepfeeder and the
transfer chains on the deck.
8. Adjustment of discharge conveyor speed ( Fig 11A )
Speed control valve is located on the top of the discharge conveyor hydraulic motor
Use this knob for adjustment of the discharge conveyor speed.
