Oil
Use a high-grade oil (SAE 10W-30) with classification
”SF“ or higher.
Together with the recommended oil no other specific
additives are needed.
Do not mix the oil with petrol.
When using SAE 30 oil at temperatures under 10°C it is
hard to start the engine and the motor may be damaged
due to insufficient lubrication.
Oil capacity:
0.6 l
Please note the enclosed assembling sheet!
Oil filling
1.
Remove the oil filling plug (33).
2.
Slowly pour oil into the hole.
3.
Tighten the oil filling plug.
4.
Wipe off oil residues/spilling.
Oil level checking
To check the oil level the unit must
rest on level ground
be switched off.
1.
Remove the oil filling plug (33).
2.
Wipe the oil off the dipstick.
3.
Insert the oil filling plug again into the opening (do not
tighten)
4.
Pull the oil filling plug out again.
5.
Check the oil level on the dipstick.
6.
The oil level must lie between MIN and MAX.
7.
Replenish the same type of oil if the level is too low (MIN
or less).
Petrol
Utmost care is required when handling
fuel. Keep away Keep away smoke and
open flames (risk of explosion).smoke and
open flames (risk of explosion).
Clean fresh non-leaded petrol having an octane
number of 85 as a minimum.
Do not fill in leaded, old or dirty gasoline, diesel, oil-
gasoline mixture or other fuels not approved.
Do not use petrol having a smaller octance number than
85 ROZ.
This may lead to severe engine damages.
If you frequently operate the device at high speeds, you
should use petrol with a higher octane number.
The use of unleaded petrol is recommended for
environment protection reasons.
Storing fuel (petrol)
Fuels have only a limited shelf-life, they are subject to
ageing. Outdated fuels and fuel mixtures may result in
starting problems. Therefore, store only that quantity of
fuel which you can use within a month.
Only store fuels in containers approved and identified for
this. Keep fuel containers in a dry and safe area.
Make sure that fuel containers are kept out of the reach
for children.
Fuelling the log splitter
Stop the engine and allow it to cool down.
Wear protective gloves.
Avoid eye and skin contact.
Strictly follow the instructions under “Safe
handling with fuels”.
1.
Only fuel the machine outdoors or in sufficiently
ventilated rooms.
2.
Clean the area around the filler neck.
Contamination in
the tank may result in malfunction.
3.
Carefully open the tank cap (32) to allow possible
overpressure to relax.
4.
Carefully pour fuel into the filler neck until is approx. 4
cm below the neck’s edge to allow the fuel space for
expansion.
5.
If contaminated, clean the fuel filling filter (40).
6.
Close the tank cap.
Check that the tank cap is tight.
7.
Clean the tank cap and the area around it.
8.
Check the tank and the fuel lines for leaks.
Before starting the engine take the machine and go
away at least three metres from the fuelling place.
