Assembly of the log splitter
The log splitters are ready for use as delivered. Mount the attachment and its hydraulic hoses according to the
instructions and read the following instructions for operating, adjustments and maintenance of the log splitter
before starting to use the equipment.
Never move or raise an attachment that has not been locked. Keep the log splitter that
has not been attached at even and firm ground.
Mounting the attachment to the loader is quick and easy, but it must be done carefully. If the attachment is not
locked to the loader, it may detach from the loader and cause hazardous situations. In the worst case, the
attachment may slide onto the driver along a raised boom. For this reason, the attachment must under no
circumstances be raised over one metre when it has not been locked. To prevent hazardous situations, always
follow the attachment mounting instructions provided in the following pages. Also remember the safety
instructions in Section 3.
5.1.
Mounting the log splitter to the loader
If your machine is equipped with the hydraulic locking and/or serial quick attach system, refer
to the relevant manuals for additional mounting instructions.
The attachment is mounted to the AVANT loader boom quick attach plate and the counterpart on the
attachment. The locking is semi-automatic, but because the attachment plate of the log splitter is at relatively
high level, the locking pins must be locked manually. The attachment is mounted to the loader as follows:
