  If the motor of your Zipper Mowers Log Splitter doesn't start, there might be a few reasons. First, check your fuse box to ensure there is power in the wall socket. A defective extension cable could also be the problem; unplug it, inspect it, and replace it if needed. Ensure you're using the correct power supply (400 V, three-phase) with a 5-pole plug of 1.5 mm diameter. Lastly, the switch might be defective, in which case you should have it checked by an electrician.

  If the splitter on your Zipper Mowers Log Splitter isn't moving even though the motor is running, it could be due to a loose connection causing the valve not to open. Try tightening any loose parts. Alternatively, the oil level might be too low, so replenish the oil.
