CONTROLS
CONTROLS/START UP PROCEDURES
STABILIZER ADJUSTMENT (9)
The Stabilizer directional control valve is located in
the block of valves on the right hand side of the
control cabinet. To raise the front of the machine pull
the control handle toward you. To lower the front of the
machine push the control handle away from you.
CONCAVE DOOR CONTROL (4)
The Concave Door, also referred to as lower screen,
control valve is located in the valve bank column on the
right side of the control cabinet. To open the Concave
Door, pull the control handle toward you. To close the
Concave Door push the control handle away from you.
CAUTION
AUGER CONTROL (6)
Never operate the Auger in reverse for more than one
or two seconds at a time. Leaving the Augers in
reverse will cause material buildup against the rear
Auger pan.
The Auger manual control valve is located in the valve
bank column on the right hand side of the control
cabinet. To operate the Augers in the normal forward
direction, push the control handle forward. Always
engage augers before engaging feed system.
FEEDWHEEL YOKE (3)
Operation of the Feedwheel Yoke lift is
accomplished by operating the Feedwheel Yoke
control valve. In the off position the Feedwheel Yoke is
hydraulically locked.
WARNING
NEVER use the off position of the Feedwheel Yoke lift
control valve to lock the Feedwheel Yoke up if work is to
be done under or around the Feedwheel. Use the
hydraulic Yoke Lock Bars provided by the manufacturer.
For added safety chain the Feedwheel Yoke to the
Discharge Belt Conveyor rest using the Safety Chain
attached to the Discharge Belt Conveyor rest.
To lift the Feedwheel Yoke pull the control handle
toward you. To lower the yoke push the control handle
away from you. The Feedwheel yoke and Feedwheel
assembly will float on the incoming material in this
position.
HYDRAULIC YOKE LOCK (10)
Some maintenance requires that you work under the
Feedwheel while it is in the raised position. The
Feedwheel Yoke assembly is equipped with two safety
devices that must be put in place before work
commences.
With the engine running, clutch disengaged, and the
Cutterhead completely stopped, raise the Feedwheel
Yoke to its maximum height using the Feedwheel Yoke
manual control valve. Then pull the hydraulic Yoke Lock
Bars control handle which is located on the valve bank
column on the right side of the control cabinet. The
Yoke Lock Bars located on top of the Cutterhead
housing will then extend or engage. Now use the Safety
Chain attached to the Discharge Belt Conveyor rest and
secure it to the lug located on the right side of the
Feedwheel Yoke. With the safety devices in place lower
the Feedwheel Yoke until it contacts the Yoke Lock
Bars and the Safety Chain pulls tight. Finally do not
attempt any type of maintenance without turning off
engine, making sure the Cutterhead has come to a
complete stop, turning Battery Disconnect Switch
off, and you must have the ignition key in YOUR
possession.
For added safety it is a good practice to use an
additional log chain to help support the Feedwheel Yoke
to the conveyor rest. When all safety devices are in
place you may start performing maintenance to the
machine.
WARNING
Never use the cable or radio remote button to hold the
Feedwheel Yoke in the raised position if work is to be
done under or around the Feedwheel. Use all safety
devices as explained above.
FEEDWHEEL MOTION (2)
Forward motion of the Feedwheel is accomplished by
pushing the Feedwheel control valve handle forward away
from you. To stop the Feedwheel place the handle in
the middle or off position. To reverse the Feedwheel
pull the handle toward you.
INFEED CONVEYOR MOTION (1)
Forward motion of the Infeed Conveyor is
accomplished by pushing the Infeed Conveyor control
valve handle forward away from you. To stop the Infeed
Conveyor place the control handle in the middle or off
position. To reverse the Infeed Conveyor pull the control
handle toward you.
