6.1 - How to clean the oil filter
To keep the machine in perfect working order, the oil filter of the hydraulic system must
be thoroughly cleaned every 300 hours of operation.
·
Loosen the hose clamp (1 in fig.18) and take off the hose from the lead of the filter
support. Unscrew the three screws (2) by using an allen wrench then extract the
filter group giving care to the gasket (2 in fig.19).
·
Remove the filter (4) from its support (1) using an exagonal wrench, holding on the
point 3.
·
Wash the filter with petrol and, if possible, blow it with compressed air.
·
Screw again the filter (4) on the support (1).
·
Inserting the filter group in its seat, placed in the oil tank, paying attention to the
correct position of the gasket (2). Lock the filter group with the three previously
taken off screws. Joint the hose then lock it by the clamp.
6 - ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
This chapter describes routine maintenance, i.e. operations carried out by the operator, on the SPV26 log splitter to keep this in perfect
working order and therefore reliable for continuous, long-term use. All routine maintenance operations must be carried out with the machine off
and in the case of log splitters with electric motor with the power cable disconnected.
Any other maintenance operation not specifically envisaged in this manual must be carried out by authorised personnel only in that
hazardous situations may arise for which the operator is not prepared.
In the case in which extraordinary maintenance or part replacement operations are not carried out by authorised personnel, the
guarantee shall be immediately null and void and the manufacturer shall be relieved of any responsibility for injury to persons or
animals or damage.

6.2 - How to change the hydraulic oil
The spent oil must be replaced with new oil of the type indicated on page 5 every 600 hours
of operation. To change the oil, proceed as follows.
·
Make sure that the mast of the machine is fully retracted (wedge closed).
·
Raise the log splitter slightly and rest it on two chocks (2 in fig.20).
·
Place a receptacle (fig.20) able to hold around 10 Lt. of oil under the oil drainage plug
located to the rear of the machine.
·
Unscrew the drainage plug (pos. 1 figures 20 and 21) with a suitable wrench and let all
the oil in the tank drain into the receptacle.
·
Once the tank is empty, clean the inlet, the copper washer and the drainage plug with
petrol and then replace the drainage plug, drawing this up tightly. Remember to insert
the washer (fig.21).
The oil tank holds around 9 Lt. of oil.
·
Remove the oil plug (3 in fig.20) and fill the tank with the correct oil (see page 5 for oils to be used),
pouring in around 6 Lt.
·
Switch on the log splitter and activate the telescopic mast for 1/3 of its complete travel.
·
Lower the wedge completely and add the remaining oil.
Run the machine for two complete cycles to bleed any air from the hydraulic circuit.
·
Use the oil rod (fig. 3 page 8) to check the right quantity of oil.
·
Clean the inlet of the oil plug and replace the plug.
