Maintenance and repair
X. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
Carry out refitting, setting and cleaning work only when the motor is switched off.
Pull the power plug.
An experienced worker can carry out minor repairs on the machine alone.
Repair and maintenance work on the electrical system may only be carried
out by a qualified electrician.
All protective and safety devices must be reattached immediately after completed
repair and maintenance work.
We recommend:
• The splitting wedge is a wearing part that needs to be sharpened or replaced after
wear.
• The combined gripping and controlling device must remain smooth running. Lubri-
cate with a few drops of oil when necessary.
• Keep splitting wedge drive clean of dirt, wood shavings, bark, etc.
• Lubricate slide rails with grease.
Sharpen the splitting wedge (Fig. 1)
If the splitting wedge (4) is worn out, use an angle grinder and sharpen the edges.
If you are not confident contact a professional repair person.
Oil Check (Fig. 1/7)
The hydraulic system is a closed system with oil tank, oil pump and control valve.
The system is complete when the machine is delivered, and may not be changed
or manipulated.
Check hydraulic connections and fittings regularly for air tightness.
Tighten when necessary.
The oil tank has been filled with high quality oil at the factory.
Replace hydraulic oil after 150 hours of use.
1. Make sure all moving parts stop and the log splitter is unplugged.
2.
Tip the log splitter as shown in Fig. 7
3. Unscrew oil drain bolt / dipstick (8) with an 8 mm allen key (not included) to
remove it.
4. Wipe clean the dipstick and re-insert into the oil tank, then remove and check
the level of refilled oil is between two grooves on the dipstick.
5.
Clean the oil drain bolt / dipstick (8) before threading it back. Make sure it is
tightened to avoid leakage before placing the log splitter horizontally. After-
wards, run the machine through several splitting cycles without logs on the work
table.
