4.3- Set up and preparation for operation
- Check that the machine is completely and correctly assembled according to local regulations.
- Make sure that no parts are missing. If one (or more) part(s) is (are) missing, do NOT use the splitter.
Contact your local dealer to obtain the missing parts and make sure to correctly assemble them before
using the machine. Failure to do so may result in serious injury.
- Before using the machine, make sure each time that
- there are no faulty connections (tears, cuts, etc.)
- there is no damage to the machine
- all screws are tight
- check the hydraulic system for any possible leaks, refill oil if necessary
- Ensure that the working area meets the following conditions:
- no danger of slipping
- Flat and levelled surface
- free of obstacles, free form tripping hazard
- sufficiently well lit
- Do not operate the machine in the direct vicinity of gas or petrol pipes or containers, or any other
easily inflammable materials or explosive products or materials.
4.4- Electrical requirements
With a 230V~ 50Hz motor, the log splitter should be connected to standard 230V
±
10% (50Hz
±
1Hz).
The electrical supply must be fitted with protection devices of under-voltage, over-voltage, and
over-current as well as a residual current device (RCD), which maximum residual current rated at
0.03A.
Electrical connection rubber cables must comply with EN60245 which are always marked with
H07RN-F, and with cross section greater than 1.5mm

4.5- Bleed the air
Always open the air bleed valve before starting operating the log splitter
- Loosen the air bleed valve (14) (oil tank cover) a few turns whenever the
splitter is being used.
- Keep air bleed valve (14) opened during operation.
- Retighten this air bleed valve (14) once you finished.
Failure to loosen the bleed screw will keep the sealed air in the
hydraulic system.
The air being compressed and then decompressed, such continuous air
compression and decompression will blow out the seals of the hydraulic
system and cause permanent damage to the log splitter.
Before moving or transporting the log splitter, close the bleed screw to avoid any spillage.
