Operation - AL-KO KHS 5200 Bedienungsanleitung

Unpacking/Assembly
Caution!
The log splitter should only be used
when all its component parts have been
completely assembled.
1. Check the package contents (Illus. A/B).
Inform the dealer if deficiencies are detected.
Note:
Tools required for assembly/operation
are depicted in Illus. C. These are not
included in the scope of delivery.
Mounting the transport wheels
1. Fit the axle (Illus. 1-2) from outside through
the wheel and through the tube (Illus. 1-1)
and secure it with the spring plug (Illus. 1-3).
Mounting the feet (KHS 5200)
1. Mount the transportation wheels on both the
front feet; see Section "Mounting the trans-
port wheels."
Warning!
The transportation wheels are only used
to transport the log splitter. During
splitting operation, the wheels must be
removed from the feet and mounted in
the park position (Illus. B-11).
2. Tilt the log splitter on to one side and mount
the front and rear foot.
3. Fit the foot (Illus. 2-2 and Illus. 4-2) up to the
stop limit inside the tubular frame (Illus. 2-1
and 4-1) and secure it firmly in position with
screws, washers, and locking nuts.
4. Tilt the log splitter onto the opposite side with
the help of a second person, and mount the
other feet and afterwards put it upright.
5. Put the log splitter in vertical position (piston
rod upright) and screw the support foot (illus.
3-1) on the rear feet.
6. Erect the log splitter and mount the cross
members in front (Illus 5-1) with the help of
the threaded rod (Illus. 5-1).
Mains connection
1. Connect the cable to the mains supply.

Operation

Caution!
The log splitter should not be operated if
components (e.g. the protective hoops)
are missing or defective or the connec-
tion cable is damaged.
Prior to every use
1. Conduct a visual inspection of the log split-
ter.
2. The log splitter should not be operated if
components are missing, defective or loose.
3. Visually inspect the connection cable. A
defective connection cable (e.g. with cracks,
cuts, crushing damage or bends in the insu-
lation) should not be used.
4. Visually inspect the hydraulic components for
leaks.
Log splitter start-up
Caution!
The log splitter should only be used by
one person.
1. Position the log splitter horizontally on a
level, firm surface, better with a slight inclina-
tion towards the operating lever (since the
valves are seated here). If inclined towards
the splitting wedge it loses splitting force. Do
not deposit the log splitter on the connection
cable!
2. Lay the connection cable so that it cannot be
damaged by bending, crushing or otherwise.
Warning!
The transportation wheels with model
KHS 5200 are only used to transport the
log splitter. During splitting operation, the
wheels must be removed from the feet
and mounted in the park position.
3. Loosen the venting screw (Illus. 6) by 3-4
turns.
Note:
After splitting, tighten the venting screw
(Illus. 6) again .
4. Depending on the length, lay the log such
that the wooden log is held by the log guide
tubes.
