Operation; Maintenance - Gude BASIC 10T/DTS Originalbetriebsanleitung

Hydraulic equipment
Tightness must be checked for hydraulic hoses and
connections after app. 4 operating hours and tightened if
necessary.
Only for 400 V appliances: The engine rotation direction
(see the arrow on the appliance) must be respected as
running with wrong rotation direction may damage the oil
pump. In such a case, all claims arising from the warranty
will not apply. If necessary, have the rotation direction
changed by reversing the plug polarity. See pic. 6!
Hydraulic oil/tank
Common hydraulic oil (e.g. HLP 46 or oil with the same
viscosity of another manufacturer) may be added to all
splitters. Oil change not necessary.
Bleed the tank every time the appliance is to be used by
unscrewing and re-screwing of the filling screw (pic. 7/A).

Operation

Caution: Make sure wood is cut at right angle if
possible and tightly sits on the splitter table. Sideways-cut
or extremely branchy wood may slide off or bend the
operating arms.
Put the wood to the designated platforms (tables)
(never on the frame) at all times. This may damage the
splitter.
1. Start the engine by pressing the green switch button.
Caution: make sure the engine rotation direction is
appropriate!
2. When the temperature is low, let the splitter run idle
for app. 15 minutes to enable the oil to warm up to an
appropriate temperature.
3. Put the split material on the table and hold it using the
clamping plates on the lever.
4. Splitting will start by pressing both levers down (as soon
as the splitting knife gets into the wood, tip the lever
slightly out while pressing down. This will prevent the
holding sheets (arms) from getting bent.
5. After splitting is finished, lift at least one lever and the
splitter post will automatically go up.
Operating the log splitter by two persons with one holding
the wood and the other pressing the clamping plates is
strictly prohibited.
Transport instructions
Transport
All log splitters have been fitted with big wheels. To transport
the splitter, grab the splitter post handle with one hand and the
handle above the engine by the other hand and tilt slightly the
splitter to you. In this position, the splitter may easily be moved.
To prevent hydraulic oil leak, the splitter must never be
moved when laying.
Lower the splitting knife down to full extent when moving
the appliance.
