5. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Fig. 1 - Phase inverter
5.1 Electric specifications (for SP 30HEH/S and SP 30HZEH/S only)
Connect the 400V motor using a 25 m long power cable in a minimum
section of 1.5 mm2.
Make sure to connect the neutral return wire of the conductor cord or
the machine won‘t start!
A switch-plug combination outlet provides power supply to the machine.
Before first use, check that the motor rotates in the direction shown
by the arrow on the housing. To do this, quickly switch the motor on
and off. Should rotation be performed in the opposite direction than
shown by the arrow-label on the motor fan, immediately stop the mo-
tor and use a phase inverter (Fig. 1) to change the plugging polarity of
the conductor cable.
Operating the splitter while the motor turns in the wrong direc-
tion may cause major, even permanent damages of the
hydraulic pump!
5.2 Hydraulic specifications
This professional horizontal log splitter has own inbuilt hydraulic sys-
tem with pump and and oil reservoire purposely located at the base of
the main frame. The machine comes from the factory with a first oil
fill. (see page 14 for oil change instructions).
Hydraulic oil in the lines may become quite viscous at very low
ambient temperature. In this case, sudden start-up may dama-
ge the hydraulic system of your machine. In order to protect
the system, rather let the splittet run idle (with no load and no
operation) for a while (approx. 15 min) till the oil in the lines
warms up.
The splitter is hydraulically controlled by means a control valve
whose fine default-settings are performed by the manufacturer before
delivery. Do not alter these settings.
