Start-Up
When working at temperatures less than 5°C, the machine
should be operated ca. 15 minutes without a load, so the
hydraulic oil can warm up.
Make sure that the machine is completely and properly
assembled. Before every use, check:
• the power cords for faults (cracks, cuts and such),
• the machine for possible damages,
• if all bolts are fastened tightly,
• the hydraulic system for leaks, and
• the oil level.
Power on/off
Press the green button to power on.
Press the red button to power off.
Note:
Check the function of the on/off-unit before every
use by switching it on and off once.
Restart cut-out in case of power failures (zero voltage switch)
In case of a power failure, unintentionally pulling the
power plug or a defect fuse, the machine will automati-
cally switch off. To restart the machine press the green
button on the switchbox again.
m Electrical Connection
Inspect the power cords for damages regularly. Make sure
that during this inspection the power cord is not con-
nected to the mains supply.
The power cords must comply with the applicable VDE
(German Association for Electrical, Electronic, and In-
formation Technologies) and DIN (German Institute for
Standardization) regulations. Use only power cords with
the designation H 07 RN.
A type label on the power cord is prescribed.
Faulty power cords
Power cords often suffer insulation damages.
Causes are:
• Pinching, when power cords are routed through win-
dows or door cracks.
• Bending due to improper attachment or routing of the
power cords.
• Cuts due to driving over the power cords.
• Insulation damages caused by yanking it out of the
power outlet.
• Cracks in the insulation because of ageing.
Such faulty power cords must not be used and are, due
to the damaged insulation, a danger to life!
Three-phase motor 400 V/ 50 Hz
Power supply 400 volts / 50 Hz.
Power cord and extension cord must have 5 conductors
= 3 P + N + PR. - (3/N/PE).
The extension wires must have a cross-section of at least
2.5 mm² and must not be longer than 20 m.
The power supply must be protected by a 16 A (or less)
circuit breaker.
After connecting the power supply or after relocating,
check the direction of rotation. Invert polarity if neces-
sary.
Turn the polarity inverter inside the power plug.
Maintenance
Always switch motor off for retooling, adjustment, and
cleaning.
Pull power plug.
Minor repairs can be carried out by skilled workmen them-
selves.
Repairs and maintenance work at the electrical installation
must be carried out by qualified electricians!
All guards and safety mechanisms must be replaced im-
mediately after completing the repairs or the maintenance
work.
Our recommendations:
• Thoroughly clean the machine after each use!
•
Splitting knife
The splitting knife is an element subject to wear and
tear and needs to be sharpened or replaced by a new
one, when necessary.
• Two-hand safety mechanism
The holding/control combination must be kept working
smoothly. Occasionally lubricate with a few drops of oil.
• Moving parts
- Keep splitting knife guides clean. (from dirt, shav-
ings, bark etc.)
- Lubricate guides with spray oil or grease.
•
Checking the hydraulic oil level.
Inspect hydraulic connectors for leakage and wear.
Tighten screw fittings if necessary.
Checking the oil level, fig. 4
Check the oil level before every use. A low oil level might
damage the oil pump. Check the oil level with the oil
dipstick.
For the check the splitting beam must be retracted and
the machine must stand levelly.
When do I change the oil?
First oil change after 50 operating hours, then every 250
operating hours.
Dispose of waste oil properly at your local waste oil col-
lecting point. It is prohibited to dump waste oil into the
environment or to mix it with other waste.
Changing Oil, fig. 5
• Put the splitting column all the way in.
• Place a container with a capacity of at least 9 l. below
the splitter.
• Release the venting hatch A.
• Open the release screw B, so that the oil can run out.
• Close the release screw again and tighten it well.
• Using a funnel, fill 9 l. of new hydraulic oil into the
container.
• Screw the venting hatch on again.
Dispose of the used oil in a correct manner at a public col-
lection 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 equivalent types.
Splitting beam
Slightly lubricate the beam of the splitter before opera-
