5.5 - Manual handling of the log splitter
Before handling the log splitter, it is necessary to close the cylinder (1 in fig.1, page 2) and to raise the foot (fig.4, page 2).
Use the carrying handle on the top part of the mast (12 in fig.1, page 2) for safe, trouble-free transport of the log splitter.
•
Rest one foot on the base of the log splitter (fig.9a, page 5). Pull the handle, tilting the machine towards you (fig.9b, page 5) to facilitate transport.
•
To rest the machine on the ground, put one foot on the base and lower the machine carefully.
WARNING
IF YOU MANUALLY MOVE THE LOG SPLITTER TAKE EXTRA CARE TO MAINTAIN THE PROPER BALANCE AND AVOID THE REVERSAL
OF THE MACHINE. DO NOT PULL THE LEVER VIOLENTLY TOWARDS YOU. ENSURE THAT THE NAVIGATION PATH IS FLAT AND FREE
OF OBSTACLES.

6 - ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
This chapter describes routine maintenance, i.e. operations carried out by the operator, on the log splitter to keep it in perfect working order and
therefore reliable for continuous, long-term use. All routine maintenance operations must be carried out with the machine off and in the case of log
splitters with electric motor with the power cable disconnected.
Any other maintenance operation not specifically envisaged in this manual must be carried out by authorised personnel only in
that hazardous situations may arise for which the operator is not prepared.
In the case in which extraordinary maintenance or part replacement operations are not carried out by authorised personnel, the
guarantee shall be immediately null and void and the manufacturer shall be relieved of any responsibility for injury to persons or
animals or damage.
6.1 - How to change the hydraulic oil
The spent oil must be replaced with new oil of the type indicated in the paragraph below (6.2 - Recommended oils) every 600 hours of operation.
To change the oil, proceed as follows.
•
Make sure that the wedge of the machine is fully retracted.
•
Place a 15 litre capacity receptacle under the oil drainage plug, located under the oil tank (fig.14, page 6).
•
Unscrew the drainage plug with a suitable wrench and let all the oil in the tank drain into the receptacle.
•
Once the tank is empty, clean the inlet and the drainage plug with petrol and then replace the drainage plug, drawing this up tightly.
Refer to the table on page 23 for the correct amount of oil and then proceed as follows:
•
Remove the oil plug (10 in fig.1, page2), fill the tank with the correct oil (6.2 - Recommended oils) and check the right quantity of oil using the oil
rod. The oil level must be between the two notches on the oil dipstick
•
Clean the inlet of the oil plug and replace the plug.
•
Activate the log splitter and let the wedge make some strokes in order to let any air bubble come out from the circuit.
At the end, bring the wedge back to the upper position, ready to work
WARNING:
NEVER MIX OIL WITH GENERAL WASTE!
USED OIL MUST BE DISPOSED OF ACCORDING TO CURRENT REGULATIONS IN THE COUNTRY WHERE THE MACHINE IS USED.

6.3 - Sharpening the wedge
