Checking the oil level
The hydraulic unit is a closed system with
oil tank, oil pump and control valve. Check
the oil level regularly before every use. Too
low an oil level can damage the oil pump.
The correct oil level is approx. 10 to 20 mm
below the oil tank surface.
Note: The level of oil must be checked
when the riving knife is pulled back. If the oil
level is at the lower notch, then the oil level
is at a minimum. Should this be the case,
oil must be immediately added. The upper
notch indicates the maximum oil level. The
machine must be on level ground.
When must the oil be changed?
First oil change after 50 operating hours,
then every 500 operating hours.
Replacing the oil, Fig. 10
• Completely retract the splitting column.
• Put a container with a volume of at least 6
litres under the splitter.
• Loosen the ventilation cap (A).
• Open the oil drain plug B under the oil tank
so the oil can flow out.
• Afterwards, close the oil drain plug B
again.
• Remove the ventilation cap, pour in 4 litres
of fresh hydraulic oil using a clean funnel.
• Replace the ventilation cap.
Dispose of the used oil in a correct man-
ner at a public collection facility. It is
prohibited to drop old oil on the ground
or to mix it with waste.
We recommend the following hydraulic
oils:
Aral Vitam gf 22
BP Energol HLP-HM 22
Mobil DTE 11
Shell Tellus 22
or oils of same quality.
Do not use any other types of oil as they
would influence the function of the hydraulic
cylinder.
Splitting spar
Before use, the spar of the splitter must
be slightly greased. Repeat this procedure
every five operating hours. Slightly apply
grease of oil spray. The spar may never run
dry.
Hydraulic system
The hydraulic unit is a closed system with
oil tank, oil pump and control valve.
The system is complete when the machine
is delivered, and may not be changed or
manipulated.
Regularly check the oil level.
Too low an oil level damages the oil pump.
Regularly check the hydraulic connections
and bolts for tightness. Retighten if neces-
sary.
Before undertaking any maintenance or
checking work, the working area must be
cleaned. Keep the necessary tools within
the reach of your hand.
The intervals mentioned herein are based
on normal conditions of use. An excessive
use of the machine shortens the intervals
accordingly.
Clean the panels, screens and control le-
vers with a soft cloth. The cloth should be
dry or slightly humid with a neutral cleaning
agent. Do not use any solvents like alcohol
or benzene as they could damage the sur-
faces.
Store oil and grease outside the reach of
unauthorized personnel. Strictly follow the
instructions on the bins. Avoid direct contact
with the skin. Rinse well after use.
