WARNING
Never touch the cardan shaft or any other rotating parts. This is extremely dangerous and
may cause injury or damage.
4.2 - Lighting
Lighting must be provided in the entire work area of the log splitter to ensure perfect visibility when operating the machine and during
maintenance and adjustments. Even when working outdoors, there must be sufficient light to work safely. Working at times when insufficient
light may result in poor visibility of the machine and its components (dawn, dusk, night) is forbidden.
·
Make sure the tractor is off, that the parking brake is on and if necessary that the
wheels are chocked.
·
Insert the gearbox (fig. 5) directly in the tractor power take-off.
·
Fasten the two flanges of the gearbox to the two points of the tractor using
appropriately sized chains (fig. 6) making sure they are firmly fastened. During use of
the log splitter, a very high turning force is applied at this point (more than 200 Kg)
Incorrect fastening could cause serious injury and damage.
·
Before starting work, check the hydraulic tubes for any damage and make sure there
is oil in the box of the gearbox.
Working without oil may cause irreparable damage.
·
Make certain that the power take-off runs in the direction indicated on the gearbox.
·
Position the accelerator at a suitable rpm for your tractor so that the engine provides
sufficient power for correct functioning of the log splitter and check that the power
take-off does not exceed 540 rpm as shown on the data plate (see page 4, par. 1.1
