- Keep the splitting knife guides clean.  

  (dirt, splinters, bark, etc.) 

- Lubricate slide bars with spray oil or grease 

• 

Check oil level of hydraulics 

Check hydraulic connections and screws 

for tightness and abrasive wear.  If neces

-

sary retighten the screw connections. 

When do I change the oil?

First oil change after 50 operating hours, then 

always after 250 operating hours.

Check the oil level.

Check the oil level frequently before each start-

up. If the oil level is too low, the oil pump may be 

damaged.

Note:

 The oil level must be checked while the 

splitting knife is retracted. The oil dipstick is 

located on the splitting column in the filler plug 

A 

(Fig. 5)

 und is provided with 1 slot.  If the 

oil level is at the lower end of the dipstick, this 

indicates that the minimum oil level has been 

reached.  If this is the case, the oil must be 

refilled immediately.  The slot indicates the maxi

-

mum oil level. 

The oil tank is situated in the splitting column 

and is filled with high-quality hydraulic oil by the 

manufacturer.

Change of the hydraulic oil and the oil filter.

Place a container under the suction hose. 

Remove the hose clamp of the pump and pull off 

the suction hose. Caution: allow the oil to flow 

into the container! 

Fig. 7

Remove the suction hose completely and by 

slightly tilting, allow the remaining oil to drain 

into the container.

To change or clean the filter, remove the entire 

intake manifold by means of a flat spanner 

SW41 or pipe wrench!

 Fig. 7.1

Clean the filter and re-mount with new sealing 

tape, item no.:  1607 0333. Connect the suction 

hose again and secure with hose clamps.

Remove the filler plug and fill with new hydraulic 

oil.

Attention! Make sure that no dirt particles 

enter the oil tank.

Dispose of used oil accordingly by taking it 

to the local waste oil collection points. It is 

prohibited to drain used oil into the soil or to 

mix it with waste. 

We recommend the following hydraulic oils:

Q8 Haydn 46

Aral Vitam gf 22

BP Energol HLP-HM 22

Mobil DTE 11

Shell Tellus 22

or equivalent.

Do not use other oil grades!

 The use of other 

oil types affects the function of the hydraulic 

cylinder.

Only when operated by PTO:

 change the oil of 

the transmission gearing after the first 35 opera

-

ting hours, then after 1,000 operating hours or at 

least once per year. Ensure that the connections 

of the hydraulic system do not leak.

Hydraulic system

The hydraulic system is a closed system with oil 

tank, oil pump and control valve.  

The factory-made and completed system must 

not be modified or re-engineered.

Check the oil level frequently.

Too low an oil level may damage the oil pump.  

Check the hydraulic connections and screws for 

tightness frequently – retighten if necessary.

Prior to maintenance and checking procedures, 

clean the work space and have appropriate tools 

in good condition to hand. 

The above-indicated time intervals refer to 

normal terms of use; if the machine is exposed 

to heavy load, those time intervals decrease 

accordingly.

Clean the machine casing, the panels and the 

control levers with a soft, dry cloth that you can 

moisten a little with a neutral cleaning agent.  

Do not use alcohol or benzene since they might 

damage the surfaces.

Keep oil and lubrication grease out of the reach 

of unauthorised personnel. Read the instruc-

tions on the containers carefully and observe 

them strictly. Avoid skin contact and rinse well 

after use.

Troubleshooting

In cases of errors not mentioned below, please contact the customer service of the company scheppach. 

Error

Possible causes

Solution

Degree of danger

The hydraulic pump does 

not run  

No voltage

Check whether the conductors 

have power supply

Danger of an electric shock  

This work process must be 

performed by a maintenance 

electrician.  

The thermo-switch of the motor has 

turned itself off. 

The thermo switch turns on again 

when the motor has cooled down.  

The motor can be re-started. 

–

The column does not 

move downwards 

Low oil level

Check the oil level and refill 

Danger of contamination!

This work process can be carried 

out by the machine operator.

2-manual shift not correct

Check the fixing of the levers  

Risk of being cut!

Dirt in the column guide  

Clean the column

Motor starts but the 

column does not move 

downwards 

Incorrect rotating direction of the 

motor during three-phase current 

Check rotating direction of the 

motor and shift to correct direction 

Incorrect rotating direction can 

damage the pump 

Maintenance and repairs

All maintenance procedures must be performed 

by qualified personnel under strict observation of 
the available operating manual. 

Prior  to  each  maintenance,  all  possible 

precautions must be taken; turn off the motor 

and disconnect the power supply (if necessary, 

unplug  the  power  plug). 

Place a sign on the 

machine which explains the outage of the device 
“Machine  out  of  service  due  to  maintenance: 

unauthorized persons are not allowed to start up 
the machine or to remain in close proxim.
