Startup; Operation - AL-KO KHS 3704 Manual Del Usuario

Assembly
5 Put the log splitter in vertical position (piston
rod upright) and screw the support foot (4) on
the rear feet.
6 Erect the log splitter and mount the cross
members in front (6a) with the help of the
threaded rod (6b).
Mains connection
1 Connect the cable to the mains supply.

STARTUP

CAUTION!
The log splitter should not be operated if
components (e.g. the protective hoops)
are missing or defective or the connec-
tion cable is damaged.
Prior to every use
CAUTION!
Before operating the log splitter on the
ground needs to be fixed, and thus be
secured against falling over!
1 Conduct a visual inspection of the log splitter.
2 The log splitter should not be operated if com-
ponents are missing, defective or loose.
3 Visually inspect the connection cable. A de-
fective connection cable (e.g. with cracks,
cuts, crushing damage or bends in the insu-
lation) should not be used.
4 Visually inspect the hydraulic components for
leaks.
5 Fix log splitter with appropriate means on the
ground
Log splitter start-up
CAUTION!
The transportation wheels are only used
to transport the log splitter.
During splitting operation, the wheels
must be removed from the feet and
mounted in the park position (12).
CAUTION!
Never lay the log on the splitter in trans-
verse direction, see Illus. 10. Never force
the splitting of a log by sustaining the hy-
draulic pressure over several seconds.
CAUTION!
The log splitter should only be used by
one person.

After splitting, tighten the venting screw
(7) again .
1 Position the log splitter horizontally on a level,
firm surface, better with a slight inclination
towards the operating lever (since the valves
are seated here). If inclined towards the split-
ting wedge it loses splitting force. Do not de-
posit the log splitter on the connection cable!
2 Lay the connection cable so that it cannot be
damaged by bending, crushing or otherwise.
Loosen the venting screw (7) by 3-4 turns.

4 Depending on the length, lay the log such that
the wooden log is held by the log guide tubes.

OPERATION

CAUTION!
Only the operator is allowed to remain
within the operating area during opera-
tion! (13)
1 With one hand, press the switch on button of
the electric motor (8a) and hold it pressed.
2 After the motor has attained its end speed,
press the operating lever with the other hand
(8b) fully downwards. The log pusher will
press the log against the splitting wedge. The
log will be split.
3 By releasing the switch-on button and the
operating lever, the log pusher moves back
into its end position.
Remove a jammed log (9)
CAUTION!
Never use a hammer to drive out the
piece of wood.
When the piece of wood springs out, it
might injure people and damage the ma-
chine.
1 Remove both your hands from the switch-on
button and operating lever
2 Letting log pusher grind to a halt
3 Push the wood wedge under the jammed
piece of wood (9)
4 Use the log pusher to push the wood wedge
all the way under the jammed piece of wood
5 Repeat with a larger wedge if necessary until
the piece of wood is released
