Scheppach HL2200GM Original Bedienungsanleitung Seite 28

Never forget to loosen the filling screw! Other-
wise, the air in the system will constantly be com-
pressed and decompressed with the result that
the seals of the hydraulic circuit will be destroyed
and the wood splitter can no longer be used. In
this case, the seller and the manufacturer will not
be liable to warranty services.
Switching on and off (12)
Press the green button for switching on.
Press the red button for switching off.
Note: Check the function of the ON/OFF unit before
every use by switching on and off once.
Restarting safety in case of current interruption
(no-volt release).
In case of current failure, inadvertent pulling of the
plug, or a defective fuse, the machine is switched off
automatically.
For switching on again, press anew the green button
of the switch unit.
Drive shaft
• That the guides on the splitting column are lubricat-
ed with grease.
• Before connecting the machine to the three-point
linkage of the traction unit, ensure that the traction
unit is suitable for the weight of the machine. The
weight of the machine can be seen on the manufac-
turer's rating plate.
• After the traction unit's motor is turned off, connect
the drive shaft.
• Exclusively use approved drive shafts and those
that are suitable for use with the wood splitter. Fur-
thermore, the drive shaft must be equipped with all
safety devices which must be in a good condition.
• Don't stand close to the drive shaft when it is in
operation.
• Ensure that the tractor unit's speed does not ex-
ceed the number on the rating plate, max. 540 per
min.
• Before maintenance work or if the riving knife is
jammed, first disconnect the machine from the trac-
tor unit, after turning off the tractor unit.
Attaching the splitter to the tractor unit,
(fig. 13 + 14)
1. Reverse the tractor unit to the wood splitter. Posi-
tion the lower support arms close enough to the
kindling splitter's fixing pins.
2. Activate the tractor unit's parking brake and turn
off the motor. Block the back wheels on both sides
with wedges or other suitable objects.
3. Remove the dust cover (1) and attach it to the
drive shaft protective cap (2).
4. Lower the bottom support arms onto the kindling
splitter's fixing pins and secure them with the
locking pins (3).

5. Position the top support arm in the bracket and
align it with the bracket holes. Insert the hitch pin
to lock the top support arm in place.
• The transmission drive shaft end has a diam-
eter of 34.8 mm and a connection with 6 teeth
(Standard Category 1 PTO).
6. Push the drive shaft over the drive shaft end on
the transmission and tractor unit. Push down
the spring pins located on both ends of the drive
shaft. Push the drive shaft further over the drive
shaft ends until the spring pins jump out and the
teeth of the drive shaft end lock.
7. Aligning the drive shaft
Viewed from the top and the side of the shaft, the
drive shaft end on the kindling splitter (15) and the
drive shaft end on the tractor unit (16) have to be
aligned in parallel. The angle of the drive shaft
joints (α) must be as small as possible.
8. Secure the safety chain of the shaft drive on a
fixed part of the kindling splitter and tractor unit to
prevent the safety device turning.
Check the running direction of the tractor unit's drive
shaft. If the splitting arm is not in the top position,
bring the splitting blade in the top position, using the
return bracket or handles. If the splitting arm is al-
ready in the top position, activate the splitting mecha-
nism by moving both levers down. This will move the
splitting arm down.
If the splitting blade does not move despite activation
of the handles or return bracket, stop the shaft drive
and change its direction.
Never let the shaft drive run in the wrong direc-
tion! This will inevitably destroy the pump sys-
tem and no warranty claim can be made.
Using the safety arm (fig. 15)
The safety arm can be set at different height posi-
tions, depending on the length of the wood.
Splitting (fig. 16 + 17)
• If the outside temperature is below 5°C, let the ma-
chine run idle for about 5 minutes so the hydraulic
system reaches its operating temperature. Place
the log under the splitting blade vertically.
Caution: The splitting blade is very sharp. Risk
of injury!
• When you push both operating levers down, the
splitting blade goes down and splits the wood.
• Only ever split logs that have been sawn off straight.
• Split the log vertically.
• Never split it lying down or diagonally to the grain!
• Wear suitable gloves and safety boots when split-
ting wood.
• Split very misshapen logs from the edge.
Caution: During splitting, some logs can be un-
der significant tension and suddenly break.
