2 General safety instructions
The Palax Lifter is an accessory for the Palax KS35, Power 90 and Power 70 firewood
processors. The maximum diameter of logs to be hoisted with the lifter is 37 cm and their
maximum length is 3.5 m. (Note: Check the maximum log diameter allowed for the
firewood processor used.) When lifting the log, ensure that it remains on the lifter
throughout the procedure, and that it cannot roll or tumble down from the lift booms due
to imbalance.
The user must familiarise himself with the device and the firewood processor used before
starting the operation. He must understand how the device operates and be aware of the
risks associated with its use. All safety instructions for the firewood processor also apply
to the Palax Lifter.
The lifter must always be used exercising great caution, so that neither the user of the
device nor people near it are subjected to injury.
The device must not be used by children!
The lifter may be used for lifting only one log at a time, and this log must be placed onto
the lift booms in such a way that its butt end points towards the firewood processor.
Lifting is not allowed, if the log is only supported by one of the lift booms. The logs to be
lifted must be free of branches, straight and must not fork.
Other people or objects that could be damaged by the device are not allowed near the
lifter during its operation. The danger zone around the machine is 10 m.
The lifter shall be used on an even surface. When setting the log, the lift booms must be
fully lowered. No logs or other objects are allowed under the lift booms during lowering.
Rolling the log onto the lift booms must be carried out gently enough to ensure that the
operator of the lifter will not be subjected to any danger or injury. Beware of logs that
may roll down from the pile.

5 Installing the hydraulics
5.1.1 Palax KS 35 and Power 70
1. Disconnect the hose AB from the quick-
connector and attach it to the quick-connector
of the valve C.
2. Install a new hose from the quick-connector
B to the connector D of the valve.
3. Install the hoses from quick-connectors E
and F to the cylinder of the lift, so that when
the valve lever is raised the lifter will rise, and
when the valve lever is lowered, the lifter will
lower.
Fig. 9. Installing the hydraulics of the KS 35 and Power70
Note! In the Power 70 machine, the connectors A and B are located in the end of the
machine (Fig. 8).
5.1.2 Palax Power 90
Connect the hoses from the quick-
connectors A and B (Fig. 10) to the
cylinder of the lifter, so that when the
valve lever C (the first from the left) is

Power 90
Carry out installation of the hydraulics so that no hydraulic oil can spill into the
natural environment!

6 Operating and maintenance instructions for the lifter
Fig. 11. Operating the lifter
1. Roll the log onto the lifter. Ensure that the lifter remains upright, and that it will
not swing to the side while the log is being rolled
2. Exercise caution when lifting the log onto the lifter, so that the log can strike
neither you nor the machine with force enough to break it.
Lubricate the joints of the lifter every 100 operating hours.
7 Turning the lifter into the transport position
1. Turn the lift booms to the rear.
2. Turn the lifter to the front of the
machine, and lift it into the slot in the support
for the locking iron.
3. Tighten the rubber band to the hook
in the locking iron.
Note!
The lifter must always be turned into the
transport position for transport.
