ambient temperature. After several hours of use however, with particularly difficult
wood, the pump may become very hot. This is not a dangerous situation for the
machine, which returns to full functioning capacity after being cooled.
Nevertheless, it is very important not to cause overheating of the oil, and thus the
pump, by forcing the machine in an attempt to split logs that exceed the capacity
of the machine.
MAINTENANCE
All routine maintenance operations must be carried out with the machine switched
OFF, and the power cable disconnected from the mains supply.
1. Before each use
Always inspect the machine to ensure it is in good condition. Inspect the bed and
welded joints for signs of cracking or distortion. Inspect the hydraulics for signs of
leaks.
2. Monthly
Check oil level by tilting the machine as shown in fig 9 and
removing the Filler Cap (shown in fig 7). Attached to the filler
cap is a dipstick; the oil level should be within the notch on
the stem. Top up with Clarke Hydraulic oil if necessary.
3. Every 400 hours of use.
Change the hydraulic oil as follows:
3.1 Ensure that the log pusher of the machine is fully
retracted then unscrew the breather a few turns,
(see fig. 6).
3.2 Position a container under the Logbuster large
enough to hold 4 lItres of oil, then unscrew the
cap shown in Fig. 7 and remove it completely.
3.3 Tilt the machine as in Fig. 8, to empty the oil.
3.4 Tilt the machine in the other direction, as shown
in Fig.9, and pour in 2.6 litres of Hydraulicoil.
IMPORTANT: Use ONLY CLARKE HYDRAULIC OIL, or
exact eqivalent, available from your local deaer:
Part No:
1 ltr
- 3050830
5 ltr
- 3050835
3.5 Clean the dipstick which is attached to the filler
cap and insert it to check that the oil level is
within the notch on the stem.
3.6 Clean the cap and washer thoroughly and re-
tighten completely, but very carefully so as not
to damage the thread on the plastic cap.
3.7 Finally, screw IN the breather.
