4.6- Moving the Log Splitter
Before moving or transporting the log splitter, unplug it from the mains power supply.
Make sure the oil screw/dipstick is securely tightened.
Make sure the bleed screw is securely tightened.
By hand
WARNING: The log splitter is very heavy, do NOT move by hand if you are not physically strong
enough, as a falling or tripping machine may cause considerable damage and severe injury!!
The log splitter is equipped with 2 wheels for minor moving
To move the log splitter to the work area, grip the handle to tilt the log splitter slightly.
The wheels are not intended to transport or tow the log splitter over long distance.
Do not tow on open road.
Do not use the log splitter to transport persons/animals or objects.
Transporting the log splitter
When transporting in a vehicle, close the bleed screw to avoid any spillage, make sure to firmly
secure the machine with no parts protruding outside the vehicle to avoid a danger (e.g. fall, injury,
damage; ...)
4.7- Maximum pressure limiting device
The maximum pressure was set before the log splitter left the factory and the maximum pressure
limiting screw is sealed with glue to ensure the log splitter works under the set pressure.
No operator resetting is required.
Unauthorized resetting will cause the hydraulic pump to fail to output enough splitting pressure or
result in serious injury as well as damage to the machine. Unauthorised intervention will void the
guarantee.
