►
Check that the power cable is correctly connected to the mains power supply.
►
Adjust the opening of the log-splitting wedge using the special device (see 4.5.1 ADJUSTING THE
TRAVEL OF THE WEDGE).
►
Check correct oil level in the combustion engine and make sure there is enough fuel in the tank.
►
Check the correct coupling of the machine to the three-point hitch on the tractor.
►
Check the correct insertion of the drive shaft in both spline shafts.
►
Make sure the quick couplings are properly connected to the hydraulic fittings on the tractor.
►
Check the free movement of the control levers (5 Fig. 2).
►
Press the right handle on the machine downward using the left hand, and then use the other
hand to press the switch (1 Fig. 3), wait around 2 seconds and then release the handle; the machi-
ne will start without fluid hammer due to excess pressure.
4.5 ADJUSTMENTS
4.5.1 ADJUSTING THE TRAVEL OF THE WEDGE
If the length of the logs is less than the maximum travel of the wedge, the working travel can be decre-
ased so as to reduce working time.
Before adjustment, position one of the shorter logs on the workbench, move the wedge near the log
and stop the machine just before making contact (around 10 cm). Then proceed as follows:
SF60 - 80 - 81:
►
Unhook the chain (1 Fig. 7) and hook it on another ring so that it’s slightly tighter.
SF100 - 110:
►
Unscrew the knob (2 Fig. 7) and move the block (3 Fig. 7);
►
Tighten the knob (2 Fig. 7)
