5.Maintenance instructions
5.1 Daily maintenance
Make maintenance regular part of daily operation. The daily maintenance routine needs to
include
-Cleaning of the machine and cleaning of all parts from residual wood debris. chips, dust, bark
pieces and eventual other waster.
-Greasing of the sliding pads inside the sliding casing(ram)
-Hydraulic oil check and(in case of leakage)hydraulic hose and fittings check-up to detect
eventual oil leaks
-Lubrication of all moving parts
5.2 Hydraulic oil
Periodically check the oil level inside the hydraulic oil tank. When doing so, accurately avoid
contaminating the tank with dirt, wood chips, sow dust etc…
Make sure that the splitter never runs without oil or with low oil level. When this happens, air is
likely to reach inside the hydraulic loop. Failure to maintain due oil or level may cause poor
running and irregular splitter operation(very rough, back/forth or up/down motions)as well as
major pump damages.
Please schedule your first oil change after approximately 25-30 operation hours and later ones
after each 50operation hours or once a year.
The oil drain plug is location on the bottom tank side while the filler cap is on the upper right
hand side of the tank.
The hydraulic system is a closed system with oil tank, oil pump and control valve. Check oil level
regularly in inspection glass. Low oil levels can damage the oil pump. Oil Level should measure
approx.1—2cm lower than the upper surface of the oil tank. The oil should be completely
changed once a year.
