2 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Machine operation and maintenance is allowed to qualified persons older then 18 years of age, only!
• Before starting the work, the machine must be placed in a stable position,!
• Use only P.T.O.shafts of appropriate strength (min.25kW ), with undamaged outer plastic protective
cover (RCA 320-2)!
• Never use damaged, cracked or deformed cutting chains!
• Always wear personal protective equipment (safety glasses, hearing protectors, gloves and forestry
boots)!
• When troubleshooting, replacing the chain or any service procedure, always disengage P.T.O.shaft and
shut down the tractor (RCA 320-2)or unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet (RCA 320-2 E)!
• Do not wear loose clothes!
• Keep the working environment clean and tidy!
• Always use caution when operating the machine! Rotating chain can cause serious injuries in case of
incorrect use of the machine.
• Never leave the machine running without supervision!
• Do not reach into the working area, while the machine is in operation!
• Before removing a wedged piece of wood, shut down the machine drive (RCA 320-2)or turn off the
machine using »START-STOP«Switch(RCA 320-2E)!
• Whentransportingthemachineonpublicroadsitisnecessarytoinstalllightsonthereadendofthe

• Damagedpowercordorplugmustbereplacedimmediately(RCA 320-2E)!
3 M ACHINE SETUPAND OPERATION
• Mount the firewood processor to the three-point tractor system usingbolts.Lower tractor connectinghan-
dles must be fixed with tensioningscrews,so the machine can move transversely.W hen transportingthe
machine,consider the weight of the whole machine (Chapter 1.5).
• Connect the P.T.O.shaft to the cardan shaft and secureit usingthe safetychain.
BeforethefirstinstallationalsochecktheP.T.O.shaftlength.
Checkthe P.T.O.shaft length byraisingand loweringthe machine to determine the position with the
shortest distance amongconnectingshafts.Tubes should be in this position,when the P.T.O.shaft is
connected,app.20mm shorter.
In case the P.T.O.shaft is too long,it must be shortened:
• Saw of steeland plastic tubes on both ends to the same length.Afterwards file down,clean and grease
the edges.
RCA 320-2:
P.T.O.shaft must be connected to the machine as perpendicular as possible!Therefore,it is recommended the
machine is connected to the three point tractor system,duringthe operation.

Change the rotating direction of the electric
motor by inverting the poles on the plug.
RCA 320-2 E :
Connect the RCA 320-2 E to the thee-phase electric
power source:
• Nominal voltage: 400 V /50 Hz
• Minimum Power Cable Size: 4mm²
• Plug: 32A-CCE3P+N+E 400V
• Nominal Current of the Main Fuses: 32 A
• Connection Power: 21,2 kW
W arning!
Before completing the connection of the machine
it is necessaryto check the rotating direction of
the cutting chain and/or electric motor. Wrong
rotating direction can cause damages to the oil
pump.
3.1DISCHARGE CONVEYOR ASSEMBLY (in case of separate delivery)
Hydraulically driven discharge conveyor is also a component part of the firewood processor.
• Place the discharge conveyor on the ground and move it closer to connecting spot
• Slide the discharge conveyor on the supporting forks and secure it with two screws (1– Figure:3)
• Fasten the lifting package by fixing rope pulleys to their position (2-Figure: 4).
• Use the hand winch (3-Figure: 3) to lift the discharge conveyor slightly above the desired height and
attach the carrying chain (4-Figure: 3).
• Loosen the wire rope, so that the weight of discharge conveyor is distributed between the wire rope and
the carrying chain (4-Figure:3)
• Connect the hydraulic connectors (a & b)

3.1.1 RETRACTION OF THE DISCHARGE CONVEYOR
Discharge conveyor is usually telescopically retracted in the machine transport position. By activating the
machine, telescopic cylinder of the discharge conveyor automatically activates and fully extends the machine,
so the belt is tensioned.
3.2 TRACTOR PTO SHAFT DRIVE (RCA 320-2):
• P.T.O. shaft (grooved shaft 13/8!"Z6– DIN 9611A) must comply with the required driving power of the
machine (technical data).
• The tractor P.T.O. shaft must rotate in a clockwise direction.
• Recommended rotating speed of the P.T.O. shaft: 420 RPM;maximum: 430 RPM,minimum: 400
RPM

Ensure the clearance “t”between the nut
and the hand winch handle axis.
Before starting the machine, make sure to loosen the conveyor belt, by moving the Discharge Conveyor from
vertical to horizontal position using the hand winch (3-Figure:3). Otherwise damages to the belt can occur
during the extension procedure!
To optimally tension the belt, move the control handle of the lifting table (E-Figure: 1) to the lowering positi-
on, which increases the system pressure. To position the Discharge Conveyor into the working – extended
position, the discharge conveyor valve (T:Figure:1) must be closed – fully tightened.
After you disconnect the machine drive, you can retract the discharge conveyor. Open the discharge conveyor
valve (T-Figure: 1) and leave the discharge conveyor to retract by its own weight. Therefore put the machine
in more upright position.
When the discharge conveyor is retracted, close the discharge conveyor valve (T-Figure: 4). The valve must
be also closed during the operation.

3.3 STARTING UP:
Before each machine startup, it is necessary to check the chain tension and readjust it if necessary!
A too loose chain can induce vibrations, which unfavorably affect the drive belt’s operation. Increased vibrati-
ons can also cause damages to the drive belt. A new cutting chain needsto be retensioned after approx. half an
hour of use. Please check.
Check the oil levels of the hydraulic system and cutting chain lubrication system, before starting the machine!
• Examine the machine and equipment for faults and check the chain lubrication
• Place the tractor manual throttle handle in lowest position.
• Lift the machine cover (B-Figure: 1a) to activate the safety switch and disengage all major machine func-
tions.
• Slowly engage the P.T.O. shaft drive and start the machine.
• Set the required rotating speed of P.T.O. shaft (420 RPM), using the manual throttle handle.
• Lower the machine cover.
RCA 320-2 :
RCA 320-2E:
• Examine the machine and equipment for faults and check the chain lubrication
• Plug the machine to electric power source
• Turn on the Main Switch (R-Figure: 1)
• Lift the machine cover (B-Figure: 1) to activate the safety switch and allow easier starting of the electric
motor
• Push the “Start-Stop” switch (green button) (S-Figure:1) and immediately check the rotating direction
of the cutting chain: in case of wrong cutting chain direction, immediately stop the drive (push the red
button on the “Start-Stop” switch and change the rotating direction of the electric motor (Chapter: 3.)
• Lower the machine cover
Remove all wood remains and other particles from the splitting chute, before starting the machine!
Before starting the machine, make sure to loosen the conveyor belt, by moving the Discharge Conveyor from
vertical to horizontal position using the hand winch (3-Figure:3). Otherwise damages to the belt can occur
during the extension procedure!
