Transport
Transport with a fork lift truck:
For shipment, the machine is fixed to a pallet by steel
bandings. It is protected by a plastic sheet cover.
At least two persons are required to lift it off the pallet.
Tilt it carefully to the side with the wheels and let it glide
off the pallet.
Attention: The log splitter has a high centre of gravity -
danger of tipping over!
Manual transport
To transport the log splitter, tilt it slightly, until the ma-
chine stands on its wheels and can be moved.
Transport with a crane, fig. 2
Use the 2 holes A in the upper section of the machine for
the transport on a crane-hook. Never lift the machine at the
splitting knife!

When the cylinder is extended and the return-stop is being
activated the knife remains at position "1". The cylinder does
not retract.
Position "2"
Splitting speed. The splitting knife moves at slow speed and
with highest splitting force.
Rapid motion "3"
Fast speed. The splitting knife moves at highest speed and
with reduced splitting force.
Setting during the raising of the cylinder
Adjust the nut to the lowest hole on the bar for 1 m wood
(Fig. 3).
Always leave the upper nut with spring cotter in this po-

• Activate the return-stop. Position "1"
• If you are using a splitter with electric motor it is suffi-
cient to press a shift knob.
• To turn on the device, press the green power switch.
• When using a PTO driven splitter please note the follo-
wing:
1.The connection to the cardan shaft must be performed
after the coupling of the PTO lifting unit.
2.The locking of the PTO lifting unit must be secured with
appropriate safeguards.
3.Now connect the drive shaft with the gear shaft and the
PTO connector.
4.Activate the return-stop. Position "1"
5.Switch on the PTO shaft.
• Now operate both control levers carefully in order to
move the cylinder SLOWLY upwards. It is most impor-
tant that you pay attention to the hydraulic hoses!
• When the cylinder plate is at the boom, release one con-
trol lever and keep the other one still pressed.
• Switch off the machine. Now you can secure the screws
