Functional Test - Scheppach HL1800GM Traduction Des Instructions D'origine

• After the traction unit's motor is turned off, connect the drive
shaft.
• Exclusively use approved drive shafts and those that are suitable
for use with the wood splitter. Furthermore, the drive shaft must
be equipped with all safety devices which must be in a good
condition.
• Don't stand close to the drive shaft when it is in operation.
• Ensure that the tractor unit's speed does not exceed the number
on the rating plate, max. 540 per min.
• For specific drive shaft instructions, please consult the relevant
handbook (supplied with the drive shaft).
• Before maintenance work or if the riving knife is jammed, first
disconnect the machine from the tractor unit, after turning off the
tractor unit.
Attaching the splitter to the tractor unit, Fig. 6
1. Reverse the tractor unit to the wood splitter. Position the lower
support arms close enough to the kindling splitter's fixing pins.
2. Activate the tractor unit's parking brake and turn off the motor.
Block the back wheels on both sides with wedges or other suita-
ble objects.
3. Lower the bottom support arms onto the kindling splitter's fixing
pins and secure them with the locking pins.
4. Position the top support arm in the bracket and align it with the
bracket holes. Insert the hitch pin to lock the top support arm in
place.
The transmission drive shaft end has a diameter of 34.8 mm and a
connection with 6 teeth (Standard Category 1 PTO).
5. Push the drive shaft over the drive shaft end on the transmission
and tractor unit. Push down the spring pins located on both ends
of the drive shaft. Push the drive shaft further over the drive shaft
ends until the spring pins jump out and the teeth of the drive shaft
end lock.

Aligning the drive shaft, Fig. 20
Viewed from the top and the side of the shaft, the drive shaft end on
the kindling splitter (Fig. 20.1) and the drive shaft end on the tractor
unit (Fig. 2) have to be aligned in parallel. The angle of the drive shaft
joints (α) must be as small as possible.
6. Secure the safety chain of the shaft drive on a fixed part of the
kindling splitter and tractor unit to prevent the safety device
turning.
Check the running direction of the tractor unit's drive shaft. If the
splitting arm is not in the top position, bring the splitting blade in the
top position, using the return bracket or handles. If the splitting arm is
already in the top position, activate the splitting mechanism by moving
both levers down. This will move the splitting arm down.
If the splitting blade does not move despite activation of the handles or
return bracket, stop the shaft drive and change its direction.
Never let the shaft drive run in the wrong direction! This will
inevitably destroy the pump system and no warranty claim can
be made.
Warning!
Loosen the filling screw (Fig. 16) before commissioning.
Never forget to loosen the filling screw!
Otherwise, the air in the system will constantly be compressed
and decompressed with the result that the seals of the hydraulic
circuit will be destroyed and the wood splitter can no longer be
used. In this case, the seller and the manufacturer will not be
liable to warranty services.
Exclusively use cardan shafts with the CE symbol, declaration
of conformity and operating instructions! Read the instructions
carefully before use!
Carry out the operations above only when the motor is turned
off, the PTO shaft connector is disconnected and the ignition key
has been removed!
Transport
The kindling splitter can easily be transported with the help of the
three-point attachment on the tractor unit.
Before transporting the kindling splitter, ensure it is in the transport
position. To do this, lower the riving knife until it rests on the metal
support (Fig. 14). Remove the two L-pins and lower the hydraulic cylin-
der so it is in the transport position by pushing both operating handles
up or the return bracket down.
When driving, ensure sufficient turning space, e.g. during reversing,
parking and at junctions.
Before transporting the kindling splitter, ensure that it is properly at-
tached to the tractor unit and that the drive shaft has been dismantled.
Never transport the kindling splitter when the shaft drive is
connected.
Ensure that the kindling splitter is raised high enough to avoid obstac-
les during transport.

Operating instructions
Carefully plan your working environment. Advanced planning of your
work will guarantee safety. Position the logs so they can be reached
easily. Stack the split wood nearby or load it onto a lorry or other me-
ans of transport. Position the kindling splitter on a solid even surface.
If you slightly lubricate the riving knife with grease before commissio-
ning, its service life can be extended.
Release the air from the hydraulic system before operating the wood
splitter.
Loosen the lid of the hydraulic tank with a few turns until air can get in
and out.
The airflow of the oil tank should be noticeable.
Before moving the wood splitter.
Never forget to loosen the filling screw (Fig. 16)!
Otherwise, the air in the system will constantly be compressed
and decompressed with the result that the seals of the hydraulic
circuit will be destroyed and the wood splitter can no longer be
used. In this case, the seller and the manufacturer will not be
liable to warranty services.
Place a log vertically on the table so that it lies flat and press it against
the retention thorns to secure it. Make sure that the riving knife and
the table have contact with the full surface of the log ends. Never try to
split wood at an angle. Lower the riving knife until the wood is split.
By pressing the return bracket down or the handles up, the riving knife
is returned to its initial position.
