We recommend:
• The splitting wedge is a wearing part that needs to be sharpened or
replaced after wear.
• The combined gripping and controlling device must remain smooth
running. Lubricate with a few drops of oil when necessary.
• Keep splitting wedge drive clean of dirt, wood shavings, bark, etc.
• Lubricate slide rails with grease.
When must the oil be changed?
Change the oil after 150 working hours.
Oil change (fig. 17 - 20)
1. Move the log splitter into the start position and pull out the mains plug.
2. Undo the oil drain screw with dipstick (8) and put it to one side. (fig.
18)
3. Turn the log splitter on the support leg side as shown in fig. 19 over
a 4 liter capacity container to drain the hydraulic oil off. Recycle care-
fully! Dispose of the waste oil in an environmentally friendly manner!
4. Turn your machine on the motor side as shown in Fig. 20 to refill
about 3,5 l fresh oil.
5. Clean the oil drain screw with dipstick (8) and screw it back in to
the machine that is still in a vertical position. Unscrew it again; there
should be an oil film between the two notches. (Fig. 17)
6. Now screw the oil drain screw with dipstick back in tightly. Afterwards
start splitting without actually splitting log several times.
7. Check the oil level one last time and top up with a little oil if required.
Dispose of the used oil in a correct manner at a public collection
facility. It is prohibited to drop old oil on the ground or to mix it
with waste.
We recommend oil from the HLP 32 range.
