Maintenance
Changing the hydraulic oil
The hydraulic oil has to be changed at regular intervals (approx. 150 hrs) according to thefollowing:
1. Ensure that thepressure plate is in its original position and disconnect thepower cable.
2. Unscrew theoil plug (16).
3. Lift thepull handle and tip thelog splitter over acollecting tray which holds at least 4 litres and wait until all
theoil has run out.
4. Tip thelog splitter so that themotor side is up and fill using good quality hydraulic oil (approx. 2.4 litres)
5. Wipe thedipstick and place it in thetank when thelog splitter is in ahorizontal position. Pull it back out and
take areading. The oil level should be between thetwo markings on thedipstick.
6. Clean theoil plug and screw it back properly so that theoil does not leak out.
7. Check theoil level regularly and when necessary, top it up.
Sharpening the splitter
Keep thesplitter sharp by filing off theburrs of thecutting edge regularly using afinely serrated metal file.
Other Maintenance
• Always remove theplug before commencing maintenance.
• Ensure that all power cables, plugs and switches are undamaged and in good working order.
• Clean all of thesurfaces on thelog splitter using abrush and dry cloths.
• Store themachine in adry, clean and non-corrosive environment out of reach for children. Ensure that
thestorage temperature does not fall below −25° C.
