Caution! Residual Hydraulic Energy!

Residual energy must be released from the pressurized hydraulic ﬂuid before any maintenance or repair

work is done on the ﬁrewood conveyor. Hydraulic ﬂuid can remain highly pressurized even while the

conveyor’s motor is oﬀ. Escaping pressurized hydraulic ﬂuid can penetrate skin and cause serious injury.

To release residual hydraulic energy:

1. Shut off engine

2. Move control valve back and forth, from one limit of travel to the other, at least four times

3. Hold valve for three seconds at each limit of travel

Hydraulic Safety Hydraulic Safety

Hydraulic Safety

Escaping pressurized ﬂ uid from hydraulic system leaks can have enough force to

penetrate skin and cause serious injury or death. Hydraulic ﬂ uid can remain highly

pressurized while conveyor motor is oﬀ . Never use your hand or any part of your body

to check for hydraulic system leaks while the system is pressurized.

Get professional medical help at once if hydraulic oil penetrates anyone’s skin. Always

release residual energy from pressurized hydraulic ﬂ uid before doing any maintenance

or repair work on the conveyor.

WARNINGS

What You SHOULD Do

• Inspect hydraulic hoses every day – check for worn, frayed, kinked, and cracked areas

• Replace any damaged or worn hoses

• Use sheet of cardboard or piece of wood to check for hydraulic leaks while system is running

• Depressurize system to release residual hydraulic energy before starting any repairs

1. Shut off engine

2. Move control valve handle back and forth, from one limit of travel to the other, at least four times

3. Hold valve for three seconds at each limit of travel

• Contact Timberwolf or an authorized Timberwolf dealer to replace worn components

What You SHOULD NOT Do

• Do not make any adjustments to the pressure relief valve.

• Never remove cap from hydraulic tank while motor is running or while tank is still warm after

motor is shut oﬀ . Hot pressurized oil can cause serious injury, so wait for hydraulic tank to cool

before removing cap.

• Never use any connectors, valves, or ﬁ ttings that are diﬀ erent from the ones originally installed

on the conveyor.

General Information

Set Up & Take Down

General Information

General

Timberwolf Firewood Processing Equipment commercial grade conveyors can be

used for a wide variety of applications. They are rugged and dependable units that

can be used in a woodlot or agricultural setting to move ﬁ rewood, mulch, and hay.

Conveyors are available in 12, 20, 24 26 and 30-foot lengths. A hand operated 8-ton

hydraulic jack adjusts the conveyor’s height.

The hydraulic motor that drives the conveyor is located at the top for greater

eﬃ ciency. Conveyor models are available with an onboard gasoline engine and

hydraulic pump to power the motor or with ﬁ ttings for connection to an external

hydraulic system. Timberwolf ﬁ rewood processors, for example, can be specially

equipped to power a conveyor.

The TW-C12, TW-C20, TW-C24 and TW-C26 conveyors feature heavy steel frame

construction and an I8-inch wide belt made of two-ply polyester Ruﬀ Top™ belting.

The belt slides on continuous strips of polyurethane to insure smooth operation and

reduce wear. Optional T-cleat Ruﬀ Top belting is also available on these models. The

I-inch cleats provide reliable transport even in extreme weather conditions.

The TW-C30HD conveyor employs a drive chain and cleats rather than a belt to move material. The chain is recessed below the

conveyor trough and rides on a nylon track to reduce friction.

The conveyors can be easily transported on public roads. They come standard with a 2-inch ball coupler, and feature high speed DOT

approved wheels and tires. A pintle hitch coupler is available as an option on the TW-C30HD.

Gasoline powered conveyors feature a Honda GX160 overhead valve engine, with the exception of the TW-C12, which sports a Honda

GC160. One tank of gasoline can run the conveyor for approximately eight hours.

Set Up & Take Down

Never run the conveyor or processor without adequate

ventilation. Engine fumes from conveyor or processor can

cause fatal poisoning.

CAUTION

TIMBERWOLF FIREWOOD PROCESSING EQUIPMENT 7

Set Up Procedures

Work Area Layout

• Locate conveyor on ﬁ rm, level ground

• Select well-lit spot, outdoors or in well-ventilated area

New Location Set Up (Continued)

• Disconnect safety chains (TW-C12, TW-C20, TW-C24, TW-C26, TW-C30HD), emergency brake cable, and wiring harness for

conveyor lights and brakes (TW-C30HD)

• Lift conveyor ball coupler oﬀ tow vehicle’s trailer hitch

• Drive tow vehicle clear

TW-C12, TW-C20, TW-C24, TW-C26 Height Adjustment

To adjust conveyor height:

1. Insert jack handle in hydraulic jack.

2. Make sure jack’s pressure relief is closed.

3. Pump jack until conveyor reaches required height.

4. Place jack handle in storage position on conveyor frame.

• Check for hazards around the conveyor. Make sure area is free of slippery surfaces and objects to trip over

• Make sure there won’t be people or animals in the area around the conveyor

• Plan access for the trucks or trailers to be loaded by the conveyor

Conveyor Towing Hitch

(TW-C12, TW-C20, TW-C24, TW-C26)

Conveyor Towing Hitch

(TW-C30HD)

• Check for hazards around the conveyor. Make sure area is free

of slippery surfaces and objects to trip over

• Make sure there won’t be people or animals in the area around the conveyor

• Plan access for the trucks or trailers to be loaded by the conveyor

• If conveyor is equipped with optional chip separator, plan for collection and removal of

chips and other scraps; separator drops debris 2 - 3 feet back from top of conveyor

New Location Set Up

Position conveyor in the selected location, then disconnect tow vehicle:

• Firmly block wheels so conveyor can’t roll in either direction

Set Up Procedure (Continued)

TW-C30HD Height Adjustment Overview

Timberwolf TW-C30HD conveyors are equipped with a hydrualically driven height

adjustment system:

Safety Chain Securing Hooks

(TW-C30HD)

Safety Chain Securing Hooks-

Left Side (TW-C30HD)

Safety Chain Securing Hooks-

Right Side (TW-C30HD)

All conveyors have safety chains for securing the support

arms to the conveyor frame in order to prevent accidental

descent when raised.

There are also retainer bolts, one on each side, that ﬁ rmly

secure the conveyor when it is in its retracted position.

The retainer bolts keep the conveyor from bouncing on

the support arms during transit, thereby reducing wear

and tear and risk of damage. They must be removed

before raising the conveyor, and should always be re-

installed before it is moved.

Retainer bolts must be removed before the conveyor can be raised. Attempting to raise the

conveyor with the bolts in place can damage the equipment and cause injury to the operator.

CAUTION

TW-C30HD Hydraulic Height Adjustment

A conveyor can be equipped for height adjustment powered by the hydraulic pump and operated by a control valve lever. The height

adjustment lever is located with the conveyor control; on the conveyor for a self-powered unit, or at the processor’s operator station for a

processor powered unit.

1. Start and warm up the conveyor or processor engine and hydraulic system.

2. Remove retainer bolts when starting from fully retracted position. Store them in a safe place.

3. Use the Conveyor Height control lever to raise the conveyor to the required height. Safety chains go slack as the conveyor rises.

4. Hook safety chains as tightly as possible when conveyor is at the required height.

5. When making any further adjustments, remember that conveyor can be raised higher with chains in place, but chains must be

unhooked before conveyor height can be adjusted downward.

Always secure safety chains when the conveyor is raised. Do not rely on

the hydraulic cylinder to maintain the conveyor in its raised position.

CAUTION

Safety Chain

(One Each Side)

Processor Hydraulic Power

Timberwolf hydraulic conveyors can be equipped to be powered and controlled by a Timberwolf ﬁ rewood processor. An externally powered

conveyor does not have an engine and pump, hydraulic tank, or control valve lever. The ﬁ rewood processor assumes the functions of

those components.

A processor set up to power a conveyor is equipped with a hitch adapter for connecting the conveyor to the processor, and a control lever

and set of hydraulic connectors for the conveyor.
