Maintenance
Switch off the motor and pull the power supply plug before underta-
king any converting, maintenance, or cleaning work.
lways pull power plug.
Skilled craftsmen can execute smaller repairs on the machine them-
selves.
Repair and maintenance work on the electrical system may only
be carried out by an electrician.
All protection and safety devices must be replaced immediately after
completing repair and maintenance procedures.
We recommend:
•
Thoroughly clean the machine after every use!
•
Splitting knife
The splitting knife is a wearing part that should be reground or
replaced by a new one, if necessary.
•
Two-hand control
The combined supporting and control unit must be kept easy-
going. Occasionally grease with a few drops of oil.
•
Moving parts
- Keep splitting knife guides clean from dirt, wood chips, bark etc
- Lubricate slide rails with spray oil or grease several times per
day. Never work with dry rails.
•
Checking the hydraulic oil level
The dipstick (Fig. 16+17) is on the filling screw.
Changing the oil
First oil change after 50 operating hours, then every 500 operating
hours.
Checking the oil level
Check the oil level regularly and before each use. If the oil level is too
low, the oil pump can be damaged.
Regularly check the hydraulic connections and screw fittings for leaks

and tighten or replace, if applicable.
Note: The oil level has to be checked when the splitting blade is
retracted. The dipstick is located on the splitting column on the filling
screw (Fig. 16+17) and has two notches on it. If the oil level is at the
lower notch, then this corresponds to the minimum oil level. If this is
the case, you must put in oil immediately. The upper notch shows the
maximum oil level.
The oil tank is in the splitting column and has been filled by the factory
with premium quality hydraulic oil.
Changing the hydraulic oil, Fig. 15
Position the kindling splitter on a slightly raised surface (e.g. euro
pallet). Place a sufficiently large container (at least 18 litres) under the
drain plug on the splitting column.
Open the drain plug and carefully let the oil run into the container.
Open the filling screw on the top of the splitting column so the oil can
drain more easily.
Replace the drain plug and its seal and tighten it.
Pour in fresh hydraulic oil (Contents: see Technical data) and check
the oil level with the dipstick.
After changing the oil, operate the kindling splitter a few times without
actually splitting.
Warning! Ensure that no debris gets into the oil container.
Dispose of the used oil in a correct manner at a public collection
facility. It is prohibited to drop old oil on the ground or to mix it
with waste.
We recommend the following hydraulic oils:
Q8 Haydn 46
Aral Vitam gf 22
BP Energol HLP-HM 22
Mobil DTE 11
Shell Tellus 22
or oils of same quality.
Do not use any other types of oil as they would influence the func-
tion of the hydraulic cylinder.
Changing the transmission oil, Fig. 18
The transmission has been filled with SAE90 transmission oil by the
factory. After the first 25 operating hours, drain the transmission oil
and replace it as described with new oil. The next oil changes will then
need to be carried out every 250 operating hours or every six months,
depending on which happens first.
1.
Disassemble the drive shaft protective cap and place a sufficient-
ly large container under the transmission.
2.
First open the oil drain plug (Fig. 18.3), then the oil filler opening
(Fig. 18.1) and completely drain the oil.
3.
Close the oil drain plug with a new seal and, using a funnel, pour
in new SAE90 transmission oil into the filler opening until the
lower edge of the display (Fig. 18.2) is almost covered in oil.
Check the oil level every 8 hours. The oil level is correct when the
lower edge of the display (Fig. 18.2) is almost covered in oil.
Hydraulic system
Die Hydraulikanlage ist ein geschlossenes System mit Öltank, Ölpum-
pe und Steuerventil.
Das werksseitig komplettierte System darf nicht verändert oder mani-
puliert werden.
Before undertaking any maintenance or checking work, the working
area must be cleaned. Keep the necessary tools within the reach of
your hand.
The intervals mentioned herein are based on normal conditions of use.
An excessive use of the machine shortens the intervals accordingly.
Clean the panels, screens and control levers with a soft cloth. The
cloth should be dry or slightly humid with a neutral cleaning agent. Do
not use any solvents like alcohol or benzene as they could damage the
surfaces.
Store oil and grease outside the reach of unauthorized personnel.
Strictly follow the instructions on the bins. Avoid direct contact with the
skin. Rinse well after use.
Maintenance and repairs
All servicing jobs must be executed by specialized personnel under
strict observation of the present operating instructions. Before every
work, every possible caution must be taken: Switch off the
motor, disconnect the power supply (pull the plug, if necessary).
Attach a board to the machine explaining the reason for being out
of order: "Machine out of order due to servicing work: Unauthorized
people must not come close to the machine or switch it on."
