Maintenance and repair
SHARPEN THE SPLITTING WEDGE FIG. 1
If the Splitting Wedge (4) is worn out, use an angle grinder and sharpen the edg-
es. If you are not confident contact a professional repair person.
OIL CHANGE FIG. 5 - 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.
Unscrew Oil Drain Bolt / Dipstick (11) to remove it.
3.
Tip the log splitter on the support leg end as shown in fig. 5 over a 4 litre capaci
-
ty container to drain the hydraulic oil. Recycle carefully!
4.
Tip your machine on the motor end as shown in Fig. 6 to refill about 3.5 L fresh
oil.
5.
Clean the surface of the dipstick on the Oil Drain Bolt (11) and put it back into
the oil tank while keeping the log splitter vertical.
Make sure the level of the refilled oil is just between 2 grooves around the dip
-
stick.
6.
Clean the Oil Drain Bolt (11) before threading it back. Make sure it is tightened
to avoid leakage before placing the log splitter horizontally. Afterwards, run the
machine through several splitting cycles without logs on the work table.
Regularly check the oil level.
Too low an oil level damages the oil pump.
Regularly check the hydraulic connections and bolts for tightness.
Re-tighten if necessary.
Upon low oil level, oil refilling is required.
Dispose of the used oil in a correct manner at a public collection facility.
It is prohibited to drop old oil on the ground or to mix it with waste.
We recommend the following hydraulic oils:
• Aral Vitam gf 22
• BP Energol HLP-HM 22
• Mobil DTE 11
• Shell Tellus 22
or oils of same quality.
Do not use any other types of oil as they would influence the function of the hy
-
draulic cylinder.
