Maintenance and care

Before each maintenance and cleaning work
 Switch off device.
 Pull out power plug
Maintenance and repair work other than those described in this
chapter is only allowed to be carried out by service staff.
For maintaining and cleaning, removed security devices must
unconditionally be mounted properly and proved again.
Only use genuine spare parts. Other than genuine parts may
result in unpredictable damages and injury.
Be sure to have removed any tools from the machine after
completion of service work.
Wear protective gloves in order to avoid injury to the
hands.

Observe the following in order to keep the log splitter in
good working order:
 Clean the machine thoroughly after you have finished
using it.
 Remove any resin remains on the machine.
 Check the oil level and change the oil as necessary.
 Check the device for obvious defects such as
- loose fastening elements
- worn or damaged components
- correctly assembled and faultless covers and protec-
tive devices.
 Check hydraulic hoses and hose connections regularly for
any leaks and firm fitting.
Lubricate the splitting column (16) regularly or oil it

using environmentally friendly spray oil.
Sharpening the splitting blade

After longer operating periods, for reduced splitting per-
formance or slight deformation of the cutting edge, grind
the splitting blade or sharpen it with a fine file (remove
burrs).
How do I check the oil level?
1. The splitting column must be in run-in state.
2. Now remove the dipstick.
3. Clean the dipstick and the oil seal.
4. Replace the dipstick fully into the oil reservoir.
5. Now remove the dipstick again, and read off the oil level.
The oil level must lie between MIN and MAX.
 Replenish the same type of oil if the level is too low
(MIN or less).
6. Check the oil seal and replace it if it is damaged in any way.
7. Replace the dipstick into the oil reservoir.

Release the dipstick by a few turns to allow the air to
escape from the oil tank.

When should I change the oil?
The first oil change should be carried out after 50 operat-
ing hours, and then every 500 operating hours.
Two persons are required.
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 3.5 litres.
4. Screw off the drain plug (21) to allow the oil to flow out.

The entire oil will not drain but a residue will remain in
the oil circulation.
5. Insert the seal and drain plug again.
6. Pour in the new hydraulic oil (Quantity, see "Technical
Data") using a clean funnel.

Fill in the oil slowly and not all at once.
Check the oil level in between.
Never fill in too much oil.
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 into the oil reservoir.

Release the dipstick by a few turns to allow the air to
escape from the oil tank.
10. After an oil change, let the splitting column move up and
down several times without load.
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.

Hydraulic oil


We recommend the following hydraulic oils for the hydrau-
lic cylinder:
 Shell Tellus T 22
 Aral Vitam Gf 22

 BP Energol HLP 22
 Mobil DTE 11
 or equivalent
Do not use any other types of oil. The use of any other
type of oil will adversely affect the operation of the hydrau-
lic cylinder.
