Hakki 1x37 problem

[firewood]

the foot pedal that releases the splitting ram only works after several hard pushes. This has happened suddenly, one minute it was fine the next it wasn't. have had a look at the linkage but cannot see anything obviously amiss.

 

does anyone have any ideas?

Is the bottom of the machine choked up with sawdust and other crap?

There is a lever mech arrangement on our 2x check carefully a slither of wood is not jamming it. One of the 8mm bolts sheared off ours a few months ago it carries no load so can only assume it was fatigue. When the 8mm bolt head wears you need to turn it round. I think I down loaded a workshop manual from the large tree services web site

Thanks Steve

 

I think the bolt may be the problem. I'll give it a turn

Is the splitter operating normally as the saw returns or are you having to use the foot pedal to activate the splitting cycle?

no. the splitter activates normally as the saw is brought up. normally i only have to use the pedal when splitting up pre cut rings.

 

 

looked at the linkage again today. I may be wrong but it seems as if the little upright rod activated by the pedal is slightly too short to easily activate the mechanism. is this sort of wear common? TBH i do not know what it was like when brand new so hard to be sure.

 

I gave the whole undercarriage a blow out with an airline as well today so am pretty sure this is not a chip of wood in the wrong place causing the problem.
