7.1.3. SHARPENING THE BLADE

After using the log splitter for some time, if you see
the blade has dulled, sharpen it using a soft and fine-
toothed file.

7.1.4. CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL

- Place the machine on a flat, horizontal and
uncluttered surface.
- Unscrew the oil filler cap.
- Clean the dipstick from the oil with a cloth.
- Insert the rod and screw on the oil cap.
- Unscrew the plug again and check the mark left
by oil on the dipstick. The mark left by the oil must
be between the minimum and maximum marks.
- If the mark is below the minimum, add a little more
oil and recheck.
- If the mark is above the maximum, you will have
to remove oil from the crankcase. To do this, tilt
the lawnmower and let out a little oil (put a
container at the end of the tube to prevent oil
spilling on the machine or the ground).

7.2. PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

Perform regular inspections of the machine in order
to ensure effective operation of the machine. For a
complete maintenance service, we recommend you to
take the lawnmower to your service technician.

7.2.2. CHANGING THE HYDRAULIC'S OIL

WARNING! You must not throw old oil in a
pipeline network or on the Earth. The
contamination of groundwater and water
tables is subject to heavy fines. There are special
collection places at service stations. If not, any
municipal authority will give you the relevant
information.
Change the hydraulic oil after every 150 hours of use.
Perform the following steps to change the oil:
1. Make sure that all moving parts of the machine are
stopped and that it is unplugged.
2. Place a container with a capacity to store the oil
used in the log splitter (7,5 liters) next to the drain
screw.
3. Unscrew the screw (1) oil drain and wait until all of
the oil from the inside has been.
4. Push the blade until it reaches the bottom to
ensure that all the oil comes out.
5. Screw on the drain (1) screw.
6. Unscrew the filler cap (2) and fill with 7.5 l. of new
hydraulic oil.
