How do I check the oil level?
1.
The splitting column must be
in run-in state. Now remove
the dipstick.
2.
Clean the dipstick and the oil
seal.
3.
Replace the dipstick fully
into the oil reservoir.
4.
Now remove the dipstick
again and read off the oil
level.
If the oil level is between the two marking on the oil
dipstick, there is sufficient oil in the reservoir.
If the oil level is below the lower marking, more oil
should be added with the aid of a clean funnel.
6.
Check the oil seal and replace it if it is damaged in any
way.
7.
Replace the dipstick into the oil reservoir.
When should I change the oil?
The first oil change should be carried out after 50
operating hours, and then every 500 operating hours.
Two persons are required for this.
Changing the oil:
1.
The splitting column must be in run-in state.
2.
Now remove the dipstick.
3.
Place a container under the log splitter to catch the old
oil. The container should have a capacity of at least
10 litres.
4.
Screw off the drain plug to allow the oil to flow out.
5.
Insert the seal and drain plug again.
6.
Pour in the new hydraulic oil (approx. 5.5 litres) using a
clean funnel.
7.
Clean the dipstick and the oil seal.
8.
Check the oil seal and replace it if it is damaged in any
way.
9.
Replace the dipstick.
Dispose of the old oil properly (local oil disposal point).
The old oil must not be poured into the ground or
drainage system, or mixed with other waste.
Hydraulic oil
We recommend the following hydraulic oils for the hydraulic
cylinder:
Shell Tellus T 22
Aral Vitam Gf 22
BP Energol HLP 22
Mobil DTE 11
or equivalent
Do not use any other types of oil. The use of any other
type of oil will adversely affect the operation of the
hydraulic cylinder.
Please note the enclosed assembling
sheet!
Cleaning / replacing the air filter
(36)
Clean the air filter from dust and dirt on a regular basis to
prevent
starting problems,
loss of output,
too high fuel consumption.
Clean the air filter every 50 operating hours, or more
frequently in dusty environments (every 10 hours).
