WARNING
Risk of serious personal injuries - Prevent unexpected starting.
To make sure that
the attachment will not start by accident, shut down the loader engine according to safe
shutdown procedure. Never leave the equipment unattended while the engine is running.
Stop lever
If necessary, stop the log splitter by pulling the stop
lever (1) out. In normal continuous operation the
splitter will stop after the carriage has returned to its
initial position.
Controlling the log splitter
Load a log against the splitting blade, so that the squarer end
of the log is placed towards the carriage plate.
Never attempt to split more than one log at a time, unless the
carriage has been fully extended and a second log is needed
to complete the separation of the first log.
The levers move steplessly and the splitting speed can be
adjusted as needed. Operate the both control levers
simultaneously as follows:
1.
Lever position 1
Return:
The carriage will move back to its starting position
as set initially. See page
19 for information about the
adjustment of the stroke length.
Stopped:
The carriage will stop after it reaches the initial
position determined earlier.
2.
Lever position 2
Start splitting. The carriage will move towards the splitting
wedge. When the levers are released, they will return to
position 1 and the carriage will return to its initial position
automatically.
Once the log starts to split the levers can be released to
reduce unnecessary travel of the carriage.
WARNING
Crushing and pinching hazard - Follow the safe stopping procedure before clearing
blockages.
In case the log gets stuck or other disruption occurs in use, first stop the log
splitter and shut down the loader engine before other procedures. Solve the disruption
after the engine has been shut down.
