OPERATION
16.1
Preparatory activities
16.1.1
Greasing the ram surface
Apply a thin layer of grease to the surface of the ram of your log splitter before starting work.
This will prolong the life of the tool.
16.1.2
Bleeding the hydraulic system
N O T I C E
Never forget to loosen the oil tank cap! Otherwise the air in the system will be
compressed and released again and again, which will destroy the seals of the
hydraulic circuit and make the log splitter unusable.
Vent the hydraulic system before starting the log splitter.
To do this, loosen the cover of the hydraulic oil tank by a
few turns until the air can flow in and out gently.
The air flow through the oil tank should be visible during
operation.
To prevent oil from leaking out, the oil tank cover must
be tightly closed before each transport!
16.1.3
Checking the rotation direction of the motor –
for models ZI-HS12TN and ZI-HS14TN only
N O T I C E
Never run the motor in the wrong rotation direction. This will damage the pump and
void the warranty.
Check the rotation direction of the motor. Switch on the
motor (position: O
N
). After switching on, the splitting arm
automatically moves to the highest position.
If the splitting arm is already in the highest position,
activate the splitting mechanism by moving the two
control levers downwards and the splitting arm will move
downwards.
If the splitting arm does not start moving after starting the motor, switch off the motor
immediately (position: O
FF
). Then reverse the polarity of the motor using a screwdriver (phase
inverter inside the plug - see picture on the left).
