Remove any resin remains on the machine.
Lubricate the splitting column regularly or oil it using
environmentally friendly spray oil.
Check hydraulic hoses and hose connections
regularly for any leaks and firm fitting.
Correct assembly and faultless covers and
protective devices.
Sharpening the splitting blade
After longer operating periods, for reduced splitting
performance or slight deformation of the cutting edge, grind
the splitting blade or sharpen it with a fine file (remove burrs).
Sharpen wedges
How do I check the oil level?
1.
The splitting column
must be in run-in state.
Now remove
the dipstick.
2.
Clean the dipstick and
the oil seal.
3.
Replace the dipstick
fully into the oil
reservoir.
4.
Now remove the
dipstick again and read
off the oil
level.
If the oil level is between the two marking on the oil
dipstick, there is sufficient oil in the reservoir.
If the oil level is below the lower marking, more oil should
be added with the aid of a clean funnel.
6.
Check the oil seal and replace it if it is damaged in any
way.
7.
Replace the dipstick into the oil reservoir.
When should I change the oil?
The first oil change should be carried out after 50
operating hours, and then every 500 operating hours.
Two persons are required for this.
Changing the oil:
1.
The splitting column must be in run-in state.
2.
Now remove the dipstick.
3.
Place a container under the log splitter to catch the old
oil. The container should have a capacity of at least
10 litres.
4.
Screw off the drain plug to allow the oil to flow out.
5.
Insert the seal and drain plug again.
6.
Pour in the new hydraulic oil (approx. 5.5 litres) using a
clean funnel.
7.
Clean the dipstick and the oil seal.
8.
Check the oil seal and replace it if it is damaged in any
way.
9.
Replace the dipstick.
Dispose of the old oil properly (local oil disposal point).
The old oil must not be poured into the ground or
drainage system, or mixed with other waste.
