21.) Main pump should be removed to check this. Ensure that Lovejoy rubber is not damaged
If the crankshaft or hydraulic pump shaft sticks through the coupler to get the right fitment, make sure that the rubber is turned so the shaft fits into the hollow. Make sure that the keyway does not distort the rubber, if the keyway is protruding as pictured it will damage the rubber, it must be pushed down to be level with coupler edge
You should not see the keyway above the coupler. As shown in the picture the keyway must be tapped down, flush with the coupler
22.) Line the Lovejoy connectors up and trial fit the pump to the motor, adjust the lovejoys so that there is a small space in between the metal couplers (approximately 1/16”)
23.) Tighten the bolts holding the housing to the engine and recheck the spacing on the lovejoy
24.) Install sawdust chute 10mm Nut x Bolt through body, nuts go in the sawdust collector side.

35.) Remove nut from Bar Oil tank fitting, insert hose through nut and over barb, snug up nut over hose
36.) The chain can now be adjusted to ensure the tension is set
correctly. Proper chain tension is achieved when the chain can be pulled away from the bar by hand ¼”--‐
½”. To tighten or loosen the chain, the two bolts can be loosened using a 12mm wrench. Next, the allen key bolt can be turned clockwise to tighten or counter--‐
clockwise to loosen the chain. The two 12mm bolts can be tightened again to hold the bar securely
.
37.) Hook sawbar return spring into slot.
38.) Apply grease liberally to the metal surfaces that touch below the spring, this will help them slide

Page 16
RR20T
Page 16
82.) Pull belt into position
83.) Install lower side extensions, lower end mounts with an allan head bolt x17mm nut, bolt on motor side is also used to secure chain for leg
Upper end is secured with 13mm Bolts, spacers and nuts, the travel cable is also installed with theses bolts
Some conveyors (with square leg) will have two silver plates that are used as spacers to hold the leg away from the belt when it is in the travel position
Page 17

Page 17
84.) Hook up hydraulic hoses, one from processor to conveyor, 1 from conveyor to processor return tee
85.) While supporting conveyor pull out safety pins and slowly lower unit, adjust leg until conveyor is at desired height, attach safety chain to catch at bottom of leg
86.) Unfold conveyor so that it is full length, pull pin and engage locking clasp between upper and lower conveyor, re-insert pin
87.) Engage conveyor lock between upper and lower conveyor sections
88.) Remove travel cable from operator side of conveyor, let it hang out of the way on opposite side
Check to make sure nuts are tight on cable clamps
89.) Turn adjusting bolts until conveyor is snug, if belt is too loose drive pulley will spin without turning belt, if it is too tight a jammed piece of wood could tear belt

90.) Grease conveyor bearings, 2 at top of conveyor, 1 at bottom
91.) Check engine oil, top up or fill as necessary
92.) Add bar oil
93.) Flush hydraulic tank, pour 2-3 litres of hydraulic oil into tank, then unscrew drain plug on bottom of hydraulic tank and drain to flush out any contamination
94.) Make sure all return hoses are run the cleanest way, so they won’t rub or pull tight, you may have to swap Tee’s or hose positions
95.) Add 26L AW32 hydraulic oil, in cold climates AW22 can be used and in hot conditions AW46 can be used
96.) Check all bolts, hoses and fittings, including engine mount bolts to make sure nothing is loose
97.) Add fuel to engine fuel tank, do not fill above red level marker in tank neck, the tank vents through the cap, if fuel is above this line engine will not run very well and will stall. Premium fuel is recommended, Farm Fuel should not be used
98.) Check adjustment of chainsaw chain, remember this is a chainsaw so the chain should not be tight, the bottom should hang off the bar slightly
Page 19
RR20T
Page 19
99.) Adjust safety cage hydraulic bypass valve, when the cage is closed this valve must be completely depressed
100.) Make sure that manual ram engagement bar is in up position, Start engine and let idle until engine and hydraulic oil are at operating temperature
101.) While engine is warming up, adjust conveyor belt to run in center of upper and lower pulleys, upper puller has bolts on either side for adjustment
Lower pulley only has adjustment bolts on side opposite of drive motor
When adjusted properly belt rides in center of lower pulley
102.) When unit is up to operating temperature operate saw and ram multiple times to make sure they are adjusted and working properly
103.) Shut unit off
104.) Check all nuts, bolts, hose and fittings one more time, check for leaks
Ram Hood Adjustment
The 2 brackets on the ram hood must be checked for adjustment to make sure the ram does not extend to far and that when it returns it does not have a hard hitting stop.
The rear bracket hits the manual ram bar as the rams goes out, it needs to be adjusted so that it hits the return bar before the ram is fully extended.
Page 20
RR20T
Page 20
Optional: If the customer is only cutting and splitting shorter lengths, the bar can be reversed to shorten the stroke and reduce the cycle time
The front bracket hits the post on the manual return arm as the ram returns home, this must hit the post before the ram hits its internal
stops, softening the stop. This should be adjusted so that the ram hood does not stick out into the splitting valley when it is in the home position, it should not be sunk into the housing, it should sit almost flush will the front wall.
