Servicing
Any changeover, adjustment, measurement and cleaning
to be performed when the engine is off only. Unplug the
appliance.
Have any repairs and servicing of the electrical equipment
executed by electricians only.
All protective and safety equipment must be immediately
refitted after any repair or servicing is finished.
Our recommendations:
The splitting knife is a wearable part that must be
•
additionally ground down if necessary.
The combined two-handed protective equipment
•
must run smooth. To be lubricated with a few oil
drops from time to time.
Keep the supporting surface clean.
•
Lubricate the slide bars with grease.
•
Hydraulic equipment/oil change
The hydraulic equipment is a closed system with an oil
tank, oil pump and control valve. It must not be changed
or handled with.
At regular intervals, check the connections and screw
connections if tight and tighten them if necessary.
The oil tank has been factory-filled with high-quality
hydraulic oil with ISO 20 viscosity level.
Change the oil after every 150 hours of operation
1.
The pressure plate is in the starting position. Unplug
the appliance now.
2.
Loosen the oil drain screw (pic. 1/11) and put it aside.
3.
Put an empty 4-litre bowl next to the appliance and
position it as shown in pic. 4). Wait until all the old oil
gets drained out. Dispose it in an environmentally
friendly manner!
4.
Turn the appliance upside down (pic. 4) to add app.
2.4 l of hydraulic oil (viscosity 20).
5.
An oil gauge is fitted in the oil drain screw (pic. 1/11).
Clean it and insert it in the appliance that is still in the
vertical position. Pull it out again – the oil level should
be between both notches.
6.
Retighten the oil drain screw (pic. 1/11). Then, let the
appliance go idle several times. At regular intervals,
check the oil level and add some if necessary.
Transport
To take the appliance out of the package, at least 2
persons are necessary.
The appliance can be transported in an inclined position
on wheels.
Use the carrying handle – lift the appliance and pull it.
Storage conditions: A dry, roofed storage place, maximum
air humidity of 80%, temperature of -20°C to +60°C.
The screw must necessarily be tightened whenever the
appliance is to be transported to prevent oil leak.
Make sure the appliance is transported in a vertical
position.
Troubleshooting
The table shows possible failures, their causes and
remedy options. If the problem still cannot be removed,
contact a professional to help you.
Switch the appliance off and unplug it before any
servicing and cleaning.
Risk of electric shock.
