Finishing Work - ATIKA ASP 4 Instructions D'utilisation

2. Place a triangular wooden chock under the log, then move
the log ram forward so that it pushes the chock under the
jammed log.
3. If the log is not released, keep repeating this procedure,
using larger chocks, until the log is released.
Never use a hammer to release a jammed log, and keep
your hands away from the log.
Do not enlist the aid of a second person - this is a one-man
job.
Do not try to release the log by using a hammer, since this
may break the motor block.

Finishing work:

Before switching off the machine at the ON/OFF switch on
the electric motor, ensure that the log ram has been
allowed to return to its starting position.
Then remove the plug from the power socket.

How do I check the oil level?
1. The log ram must be in its starting position.
2. Stand the log splitter on end, with the filler opening at the
top. Fig 10
A second person will be required to up-end and
hold the log splitter.
3. Unscrew the dipstick – Fig. 11. Do not drop or lose the oil
seal when removing the dipstick.
4. Clean the dipstick and the oil seal.
5. Replace the dipstick fully into the oil reservoir.
6. Now remove the dipstick again, and read off the oil level.
If the oil level is between the two marking on the
dipstick, there is sufficient oil in the reservoir.
If the oil level is below the lower marking, more oil
should be added with the aid of a clean funnel.
