15. Maintenance
Attention!
Pull out the power plug before carrying out any mainte-
nance work on the equipment.
We recommend:
• The splitting wedge is a wearing part that needs to
be sharpened or replaced after wear.
• The combined gripping and controlling device must
remain smooth running. Lubricate with a few drops
of oil when necessary.
• Keep splitting wedge drive clean of dirt, wood shav-
ings, bark, etc.
• Lubricate slide rails with grease.
When must the oil be changed?
Change the oil after 150 working hours.
Oil change (fig. 15 - 19)
1.
Move the log splitter into the start position and pull
out the mains plug.
2.
Undo the oil drain screw with dipstick (8) and put it
to one side. (fig. 16)
3.
Turn the log splitter on the support leg side as
shown in fig. 17 over a 4 liter capacity container to
drain the hydraulic oil off. Recycle carefully! Dis-
pose of the waste oil in an environmentally friendly
manner!
4.
Turn your machine on the motor side as shown in
Fig. 19 to refill about 3,5 l fresh oil.
5.
Clean the oil drain screw with dipstick (8) and
screw it back in to the machine that is still in a ver-
tical position. Unscrew it again; there should be an
oil film between the two notches. (Fig. 15)
6.
Now screw the oil drain screw with dipstick back
in tightly. Afterwards start splitting without actually
splitting log several times.
7.
Check the oil level one last time and top up with a
little oil if required.
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 oil from the HLP 32 range.
