Step 1:

  Lift  the  quick  attach  plate  locking  pin  /  locking  pins

up  and  turn  them  backwards  into  the  slot  so  that
they are locked in the upper position.

  Ensure  that  the  hydraulic  hoses  are  not  in  the  way

during installation.

Step 2:

  Turn  the  quick  attach  plate  hydraulically  to  an

obliquely forward position.

  Drive the  loader  onto  the  attachment.  If  your  loader

is  equipped  with  a  telescopic  boom,  you  can  utilise
this.

Step 3:

  Lift  the  boom  slightly  –  pull  the  boom  control  lever

backward to raise the attachment off the ground.

  Turn  the  boom  control  lever  left  to  turn  the  bottom

section  of  the  quick  attach  plate  onto  the
attachment.

  Lock  the locking  pins manually  as  you  connect

the hydraulic fittings.

Do not use the automatic return of the locking pins with the log splitter. Because the

attachment  plate  of  the  log  splitter  is  at  relatively  high  level,  tilting  of  an  unlocked

splitter  increases  the  risk  of  toppling  over.  We  recommend  that  you  lower  the  log

splitter onto the ground and secure the locking manually.

 Before  moving  or  raising  the  attachment,

ensure that the locking pins are in the lower

position and come through  the fasteners  on

both sides.

5.2.

 

Connecting and disconnecting the hydraulic fittings

The log splitter has two hydraulic fittings, which must be connected to the corresponding fittings on the loader.
When  connecting  or  disconnecting  fittings,  shut  down  the  loader  engine  and  move  the  auxiliary  hydraulics
lever  of  the  loader  to  its  extreme  positions  a  few  times.  This  way,  there  will  be  no  residual  pressure  in  the
system and the fittings are easy to connect.

To connect and disconnect the fittings, move the collar at the end of the female fitting. For correct operation of
the  splitter,  connect  the  fittings  with  the  coloured  caps  first,  and  the  remaining  fittings  will  then  be  fitted
correctly.

In  a  200-series  equipment,  the  hose  can  be  connected  by  pushing  the  fitting  in  the  counterpart.  When
connecting  and  disconnecting  the  200-series  hydraulics  quick  couplings,  you  should  pay  attention  to  their
