• Attention: Tighten the self-locking nut only sufficient-
ly that the complete control arm can be moved to the
left and right.
• Now fasten the other control arm on the other side in
accordance with the method described.
8.4 Fitting the claws (enclosed accessories bag C)
• Attach the additional brackets (D) to the claws with
two Phillips screws, washers and nuts each (Fig. 8).
Make sure that the longer additional bracket is at-
tached to the claw (4), the shorter additional bracket
must be attached to the claw (4a).
• Place the adjustable claws on the hexagon nuts pre-
viously attached, and fasten these with the star grip
screws and washers enclosed (Fig. 8).
• Note that the prongs on the claws must point to-
wards each other after installation (Fig. 9).
m ATTENTION!
Always make sure the device is fully assembled
before commissioning!
9. Start up
The machine must be placed on a stable and level sur-
face (e.g. concrete floor). To ensure stability, it is nec-
essary to bolt the machine to the floor with two dowels
and screws (at least M10 x 80). (see fig. 15)
Make sure that the machine is installed completely and
properly. Before each use, always check:
• the connection cables for defective areas (cracks,
cuts and the like),
• the machine for possible damage,
• whether all screws are tightened,
• the hydraulic oil for leaks and
• The oil level
• the on/off switch to function.
Check the oil level (fig. 13)
The hydraulic system is a closed system with an oil
tank, oil pump and control valve. Check the oil level
regularly before commissioning. An oil level that is too
low can damage the oil pump. The oil level must be
within the middle mark on the oil dipstick.
The splitting column must be retracted before the
check, the machine must be level. Screw in the oil dip-
stick fully, to measure the oil level.

Functional check
Carry out a functional check before every use.
Action:
Press both handles
downwards.
Release one
handle at a time.
Releasing both
handles.
An oil level check must be carried out before each
use, see chapter "Maintenance"!
Vent (Fig. 14)
Ventilate the hydraulic system before starting the splitter.
• Loosen the breather cap (14) several turns so that air
can escape from the oil tank.
• Leave the cap open during operation.
• Before you move the splitter, close the cap again,
since oil can run out otherwise.
If the hydraulic system is not vented, the trapped air will
damage the seals and thus the splitter!

the plug or a defective fuse, the device switches off au-
tomatically. To switch on again, press the green button
on the switching unit again.
