General information on log lifter:
•
The chain of the log lifter may be
suspended only at the last link at the
suspension plate for safety reasons.
•
Make sure that there are no persons in
the work area of the log lifter
Operation of the log lifter
•
Loosen the retaining hooks on the log lifter,
so that the lifting rod can move freely
•
Move the splitter blade down until the lifting
rod of the log lifter completely rests on the
floor.
Check power supply cables regularly for
damage. Make sure that the power cable is not
connected to the mains supply when you check.
Electrical connections must comply with the
relevant VDE and DIN regulations. Use only
connecting cables with H 07 RN mark.
An imprint of the type designation on the power
cable is mandatory.
The mains supply at the customer must be
protected by an RCD (Residual Current Device)
with a rated residual current of maximum 30 mA.
Faulty power supply cables
Insulation damage often occurs on power supply
cables.
D GB
Refitting, adjustment and cleaning work may be
performed only when the motor is turned off.
Disconnect the mains plug!
Skilled personnel may perform minor repairs to
the machine.
Repair and maintenance work on the
electrical system must be performed by
qualified electricians.
All protective and safety equipment must be
reassembled immediately after repair and
maintenance work.
We recommend:
•
Clean the machine thoroughly after every
use!
•
The splitter blade is a wear part that may
have to be sharpened or replaced by a new
one.
•
Two-hand control device
The control device must remain easily
accessible. Occasionally lubricate with a
few drops of oil.
•
Moving parts
- keep splitting blade guides clean
(dirt, wood, chips, bark, etc.)
- Lubricate sliding rails with spray, oil or
grease several times a day. Never work
with try guides
•
Check hydraulic oil level.
The dipstick is at the filler plug (Fig. 17)
Oil change
When do I change the oil?
First oil change after 50 hours,
afterwards, every 250 hours.
Check the oil level.
Check the oil level regularly before each start.
Operation of the Log Lifter
•
In this position, you can roll the log to be
split onto the lifting rod (the log must be in
the area between the two fixing tips).
•
Press the return bracket down or the hand-
les upwards and let the splitter blade go up.
(Caution! Do not stay in the work area of
the log lifter! Risk of injury!)
•
Now set up the log, press it against the
retaining pin and split it (see: work inst-
ructions)
•
Then, remove the split wood and move
the splitting wedge, and thus the log lifter,
down once again.
•
Now, a new log can be rolled on the log
lifter.
Electrical Connection m
Causes are:
•
Pressure points when power supply cables
are routed through the window or door
gaps.
•
Bends due to improper fastening or guiding
of the power supply cables.
•
Cut points by running over the power supply
cables.
•
Insulation damage by tearing from the wall
outlet.
•
Cracks due to aging of the insulation.
Such defective power supply cables must not be
used and are extremely dangerous because of
the insulation damage!
Maintenance
Too low oil level may damage the oil pump.
Check hydraulic connections and fittings regu-
larly for leaks. Tighten or replace, if necessary.
Note: the oil level should be checked with the
splitter blade retracted. The dipstick is on the
splitting column at the filler plug (Fig. 17) and is
equipped with 2 notches. If the oil level is at the
lower notch, this corresponds to the minimum
oil level. If this is the case, oil should be refilled
immediately. The upper notch indicates the
maximum oil level. The oil tank is in the splitting
column and is factory-filled with high grade
hydraulic oil.
Changing the hydraulic oil. Figs. 17 and 18.
Flip the splitter to the transport position (see
Transportation/Storage)
Place an adequately large collector (minimum
18 litres) below the drain plug (18) at the splitting
column
Open the drain plug and drain the oil carefully
into the collector.
Open the filler plug (17) at the upper side of the
splitting column, so that the oil can drain off
better.
Replace the drain plug with gasket and tighten
well.
Replace the splitter on the base plate
Fill with new hydraulic oil. (Content: see
Technical Data) and check the oil level with the
dipstick.
After an oil change, press the log splitter several
times without actually splitting.
Caution! Do not allow debris to enter the oil
reservoir.

Resetting the log lifter.
When the log lifter is not in use, it is used as a
second protective sleeve.
To this end, the protective sleeve is raised until it
latches in the retaining hooks.
Transport position of the log lifter:
•
Guide the log lifter manually until it snaps
into place.
Follow these instructions to ensure fast and
safe working
Three-phase motor 400 V / 50 Hz
Mains voltage 400 V / 50 Hz
Mains supply and extension cord must be 5-wire
= 3 P + N + SL. - (3/N/PE).
Extension cables must have a minimum cross
section of 2.5 mm² and must not exceed a
length of 20 m.
The mains supply is secured up to 16 A
The direction of rotation must be checked when
changing the mains supply or location. If neces-
sary, the polarity can be changed.
Turn the pole reverser in the device connector.
Dispose of waste oil properly in the local oil
disposal site. It is forbidden to drain used oil
into the ground or mix with solid waste.
We recommend the following hydraulic oils:
Q8 Haydn 46
Aral Vitam gf 22
BP Energol HLP-HM 22
Mobil DTE 11
Shell Tellus 22
or equivalent.
Do not use any other types of oil!
The use of other oils affects the function of the
hydraulic cylinder.
Hydraulic system
The hydraulic system is a closed system with oil
tank, oil pump and control valve
The prefabricated system must not be altered or
tampered with.
Before starting maintenance and control mea-
sures, clean the work area and the appropriate
tools should be kept ready in good condition.
The time intervals specified here refer to normal
conditions of use; so, if the machine is heavily
loaded, these times are reduced accordingly.
Clean the machine covers, screens and control
lever with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth using
a neutral detergent; do not use solvents, such
as alcohol or petrol, as they may damage the
surface. Keep oils and greases out of the reach
of unauthorised personnel; read the instructions
on the containers carefully and follow them;
avoid direct contact with the skin and rinse well
after use.
