Maintenance and care work

8.1.1

Grease sliding surfaces (16)

Grease the sliding surfaces at regular intervals,
particularly when splitting very resiny logs:

Maintenance tasks

8.2.1

Sharpening the splitting wedge

If the splitting wedge has become blunt after a
long period of use:
1. Remove material deposits on the splitting
wedge using a suitable file and then sharpen
the splitting wedge.
2. Apply oil or lubricant to the sharpened surfac-
es.
8.2.2 Checking and topping up hydraulic
oil (17)
Check the oil level every day and change the hy-
draulic oil after 1 year or 150 operating hours.
Use only hydraulic oil HLP 46 for topping up and
changing.
IMPORTANT!
Risk of appliance dam-
age from use of wrong
hydraulic oil
Use of the wrong hydraulic
oil and oil levels that are
too high or too low result in
malfunctions and heat de-
velopment and can dam-
age the hydraulic pump.
■
Use only the prescribed
hydraulic oil.
■
Check the hydraulic oil
level at regular intervals
and top up, when nec-
essary.

1. Stand the log splitter upright and disconnect
from the mains power supply.
2. Allow the log splitter to stand for a few min-
utes so that the oil can settle in the oil tank.
3. Unscrew oil dipstick (17/1) from oil filler neck
(17/2) and wipe using a clean, lint-free cloth.
Check the oil level
1. Insert the dipstick up to the stop and pull out
again.
2. Read off the oil level from the dipstick. The oil
level must be between the upper (17/3) and
lower (17/4) mark.
Top up hydraulic oil
If the oil level is below the lower mark:
1. Pour in hydraulic oil (17/5) through the oil fill-
er neck. Use a funnel, if necessary. Do not
allow any foreign particles to get into the oil
tank!
2. Check the oil level (see above).
3. Screw in the dipstick again and tighten slight-
ly.
Change hydraulic oil
The complete hydraulic oil must be changed
once a year.
1. Place oil drip tray (17/6) under the log splitter.
2. Unscrew oil drain plug (17/7) with seal ring
(17/8) and allow all the oil to drain into the oil
drip tray. Dispose of the old oil in the pre-
scribed manner!
3. Place a seal ring on the oil drain plug and
screw in the drain plug tightly.
4. Pour in hydraulic oil (see above).
