MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

Replacing The Hydraulic Oil:

The hydraulic system is a closed system with an oil tank, oil pump and control valve,

check the oil level regularly with the dipstick, low oil levels can damage the oil pump,

oil level should measure approx. 1-2 cm lower than the upper surface of the oil tank,

the oil should be completely replaced every year.

Make sure moving parts are fully stopped and the log splitter is unplugged.

Make sure that no dirt or debris finds its way into the oil tank.

Collect used oil and responsibly recycle.

Following an oil change, activate the log splitter a few times without actually

splitting.

CAUTION: Check the dipstick to determine the maximum and minimum of

the oil level, low oil can damage the oil pump, overfilling can result in ex-

cessive temperature in the hydraulic transmission system.

Use a drain pan to aid in the re-

moval of all used oil and particles.

Remove the oil drain plug to drain

oil from the hydraulic transmission

system, examine the oil for fillings

as a precaution to future problems.

After the oil has been completely

drained from the machine, reinstall

drain plug.

Add the hydraulic transmission sys-

tem with recommended oil

through filler plug opening.

9. Place the log onto the support table vertically and sitting flat on the support table,

be sure the wedge and support table will contact the log squarely on the ends,

never attempt to split a log at an angle.

10. Adjust the log holders (A) according to

the diameter of the log to obtain most

comfortable control lever angle.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS….cont

11. Hold the log with clamping brackets closely in the control lever guards (as shown

in below diagram), lower the levers to start the splitting, releasing either lever stops

the motion of the splitting wedge, releasing both handles to return the splitting

wedge to the upper position.

12. Stack as you work, this will provide a safer work area, by keeping it uncluttered,

and avoid the danger of tripping over the mains lead or damaging the lead.

CAUTION: Break the log in the direction of its growing grain, do not place

log across the log splitter for splitting, it may be dangerous and may seri-

ously damage the machine.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR LOG SPLITTER….cont

Always operate your log splitter on dry, solid, level ground. Never operate

your log splitter on slippery, wet, muddy, or icy surfaces. The location you

choose should be free from any tall grass or other interferences. There

should be plenty of room for handling. Keep your work area clean and

tidy as much as possible. Cluttered areas invite injuries. To avoid tripping,

do not leave tools, logs, or other components laying around the work ar-

ea. Do not use the log splitter in wet or damp areas or expose it to rain. Do

not use it in areas where fumes from paint, solvents or flammable liquids

pose a potential hazard.

Any log splitter may throw foreign objects into the eyes, this can cause per-

manent eye damage, always wear safety goggles, everyday eyeglasses

have only impact resistant lenses, they are not safety glasses.

Take used oil to an authorized collection point or follow the stipulations in

the country where the log splitter is used. Do not discharge into drains, soil

or water.

Unplug when not in use, before making adjustments, changing parts,

cleaning, or working on the log splitter.

Check your log splitter before turning it on. Keep guards in place and in

working order. Form a habit of checking to see that any adjusting tools

etc. are removed from machine and work area before turning it on. Re-

place damaged, missing or failed parts before operating the log splitter.

Make sure all nuts, bolts, screws, hydraulic fittings, hose clamps, etc. are

securely tightened. Always check the oil level in the hydraulic oil tank. Nev-

er operate your log splitter when it is in need of repair or is in poor me-

chanical condition.

Read and understand the owner’s manual and labels affixed to the log

splitter. learn its application and limitations as well as the specific potential

hazards peculiar to it.

Warning Labels Attached To The Log Splitter:

Grease

3. Apply a thin coat of grease to the surfaces of

the ram as shown.

4. Route the mains lead from the power source to

the splitter in a way that safeguards against trip-

ping on the cord.

5. Loosen hydraulic oil filler cap a few turns when-

ever the splitter is being used (retighten when

you have finished using the log splitter).

6. Start the log splitter and leave running for about

15 minutes to preheat the hydraulic oil.

7. Before initial operation, ensure the two-handed

operation is correctly functioning by following

steps:


a) Lower both control levers, the splitting wedge will lower.

b) Release either of the levers, the splitting wedge should remain in the original

lowered position.

c) Release both levers, the ram should rise to the highest position automatically.

It is possible to set the height of the cutting wedge to match the logs to be cut; this will

reduce down time as the ram will not have to return fully to the top of its stroke.

8. To set the wedge ram stroke, take the following

steps:

a) Move the splitting wedge to desired position,

the upper position of the ram wedge travel

should be about 3-5cm over the logs to be

split.

b) Release one of the control levers or switch off

motor.

c) Loosen the setscrew (A), raise the adjusting rod

(B) until you feel resistance then tighten the

setscrew (A).

d) Release both control levers or switch on motor.

e) Check the upper position of the splitting

wedge.

CAUTION: Do not attempt to split logs that are too “green.” Dry, seasoned

logs split much more easily, and will not jam as frequently as green wood.

14


1. Plan your work site; work safely and save effort by planning your work area before

hand. Have your logs positioned where they can be easily reached, have a site locat-

ed to stack the split wood or load it onto a nearby truck or other carrier.

2. Set the support table (as shown on page 13) to the

correct position for the length of logs to be split. The

log splitter accommodates logs up to 104cm in

length.

Bleed the air out of the hydraulic system

before starting the log splitter, and keep the

cap open during operation.

The hydraulic oil filler cap should be loos-

ened by some rotations until air can flow

into and out of the oil tank smoothly. Air flow

through the oil tank filler should be detecta-

ble during the operation.

IMPORTANT: Always open the hydraulic oil filler cap before using the log

splitter and keep it open during operation. When not in operation ensure

the hydraulic oil filler cap is fully closed.

CAUTION: Failing to open and leave the hydraulic oil filler cap open when in use will lock the

sealed air in the hydraulic system. Such continuous air compression will blow out the seals of

the hydraulic system, this will cause permanent damage to the log splitter and void the war-

ranty.

11

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR LOG SPLITTER….cont

Allow only one person to load and operate the log splitter. Always

keep bystanders, including visitors, children and pets away from the

work area, especially when the log splitter is under operation. Only

the operator should stand near the machine. Never use another

person to help you with freeing a jammed log. No one under the

age of 16 should be allowed to operate the log splitter. Any individ-

ual under the age of 18 should have the necessary training skills to

perform the functions properly and safely and should always be

under the supervision of an adult.

When the ram of the log splitter is in the return mode, keep your hands off

the machine – the log splitter is designed to automatically stop when the

cylinder is fully retracted. Keep you hands away from splits and cracks

which open in the log. They may close suddenly and crush or amputate

your hands.

Do not straddle or reach across the splitting area when operating the log

splitter. Never pile logs to be split in a manner that will cause you to reach

across the log splitter. Only use your hands to operate the control levers.

Never use your foot, knee, a rope, or any other extension device. Always

pay full attention to the movement of the wedge ram. Never attempt to

load your log splitter while the ram is in motion. Keep hands out of the way

of all moving parts. Never try to split two logs on top of each other. One of

them may fly up and cause injury.

Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties or jewellery (rings, wrist watch-

es). They can be caught in moving parts. Non-skid footwear is recom-

mended during operation. Wear protective hair covering to contain long

hair, preventing it from getting caught in the machinery.
