Scheppach Compact 10t Original Bedienungsanleitung Seite 44

Before each use, always check:
• the connection cables for defective areas (cracks,
cuts and the like),
• The device for possible damage,
• whether all screws are tightened,
• The hydraulic system for leaks,
• The oil level
• The safety devices and
• the ON/OFF switch.
Environmental conditions
The device must work under the following environmen-
tal conditions:
Mini-
mum
Temper-
5°C
ature
Humidity
When working below 5°C, the device should be idled
for approx. 15 minutes to allow the hydraulic oil to warm
up.
AC motors 230V should have a temperature between
5°C - 10°C when starting at low outdoor temperatures,
as the starting current increases at low temperatures
and the circuit breaker can be triggered.
• The mains power connection is protected with a 16A
slow-blow fuse.
• The "RCD circuit breaker" must have a 30mA trip
rating.
Tool required:
• Grease or spray oil
Not included in the scope of delivery.
10.1 Setting up the log splitter
m Attention!
Risk of injury from the log splitter tipping over. A
toppling log splitter can cause serious injuries and
damage.
Prepare the workplace where the device is to be lo-
cated.
• Create enough space to allow safe, trouble-free
working.
• The device is designed for working on level surfac-
es and must be set up securely on a level and firm
surface.

10.2 Checking the oil level (Fig. 1, 12)
m Attention!
Check the oil level prior to commissioning!
The hydraulic system is a closed system with an oil
tank, oil pump and control valve. There is already oil in
the system when delivered. Check the oil level before
the initial commissioning and regularly before commis-
sioning. An oil level that is too low can damage the oil
pump, refill with oil if necessary.
Note
The splitting column (1) must be retracted before the
check, the device must be level.
1. Unscrew the bleed screw (23).
2. Wipe the oil dipstick (30) with a clean, lint-free
cloth.
3. Screw the bleed screw (23) back into the filler neck
until it reaches the stop.
4. Unscrew the bleed screw (23) and read the oil level
in the horizontal position. The oil level must be be-
tween min. and max. at the dipstick (30).
5. If the oil level is too low, top up as described in
section 12.5.
6. Then screw the bleed screw (23) back in.
10.3 Bleeding the hydraulic oil tank (24) (Fig. 12)
m Attention!
Bleed the hydraulic tank before starting the log
splitter.
Note
If the hydraulic tank (24) is not bled, the trapped air will
damage the seals and therefore the log splitter!
1. Before starting work, it is essential to loosen the
bleed screw (23) by two turns to ensure air circula-
tion in the hydraulic oil tank (24).
2. Leave the bleed screw (23) loose during operation.
3. Before you move the log splitter, close the bleed
screw (23) again, since oil can run out otherwise.
m Attention!
• When working below 5°C, the device should be idled
for approx. 15 minutes to allow the hydraulic oil to
warm up.
• Before transporting the device, it is essential to tight-
en the bleed screw to prevent oil leakage.
