UNPACKING & OPERATION
Unpacking
This log splitter comes completely assembled. With the help of a second
person carefully unpack and remove log splitter from its carton. Remove
the protective film placed around both wheels.
Warning!
For your own safety, do not connect the log splitter to the power
source until you have completely read and understood this instruction
manual. With the help of a second person, lift the log splitter and place it on
a 23” - 30” high, stable, flat and level work surface.
Warning!
Never use the log splitter if it is not in perfect order or if it needs
servicing. Before starting work, check correct functioning of all the safety
devices (power button).
Operation
WARNING!
Before operating the log splitter, the bleed knob (A) Fig.4 MUST be
loosened by some rotations until air can go in and out of the oil tank
smoothly. Air flow through the bleed knob hole should be detectable while
the log splitter is under operation. Before moving the log splitter, make sure
the bleed knob is tightened to avoid oil leaking from this point.
FAILURE TO LOOSEN THE BLEED KNOB WILL KEEP THE SEALED
AIR IN HYDRAULIC SYSTEM BEING COMPRESSED AFTER BEING
DECOMPRESSED. SUCH CONTINUOUS AIR COMPRESSION AND
DECOMPRESSION WILL BLOW OUT THE SEALS OF THE HYDRAULIC
SYSTEM AND CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE LOG
SPLITTER. DO NOT ADJUST THE MAX PRESSURE LIMITING SCREW
(A) Fig.5.
Max pressure was set during production and the max pressure limiting
screw is tightened to ensure the log splitter works under pressure of no
more than 5 tons. The setting was done by qualified mechanics with
professional instruments. Unauthorized resetting will cause the hydraulic
pump to fail to output enough splitting pressure or RESULT IN SERIOUS
INJURY AS WELL AS DAMAGE TO THE MACHINE.
