English Operating Manual for Wood Splitter
9
Before carrying out any work on this
unit
• Switch off the engine.
• Move the operating lever to
Neutral.
• Wait until all moving parts have
come to a standstill; leave the
engine to cool down.
• Remove spark-plug terminal from
the engine to prevent the engine
from starting unintentionally.
• Before repairing, adjusting or
checking hoses, hose connections,
pipelines or other components,
depressurise the hydraulics.
Cleaning
Caution
Risk of damaging the unit.
Do not clean the unit with a high-
pressure cleaner, garden hose or water.
• If possible, clean the unit directly
after work.
• Park the unit on firm and level
ground.
• Secure the unit to prevent it from
rolling away.
Maintenance
Disposal and the environment
Caution
Oil is an environmental hazard.
When changing the oil, hand over
waste oil to a waste oil collection
centre or a disposal company.
Adjustment work
Adjusting the splitting wedge
module
Fig. 14
On account of normal wear and too
much “play” between the splitting
wedge and splitting column, the
screws on the side of the splitting
wedge module should be re-adjusted
in order to eliminate an excessively
large gap between the splitting wedge
and splitting column.
• Loosen the lock nuts (1) on the
two adjusting screws (2).
• Screw in the adjusting screws
until they are tight, then slowly
slacken them a little (approx.
1.5 revolutions) until the wedge
can be moved on the column.
• Retighten the locknuts to fix the
adjusting screws in this position.
Adjusting the skid
Fig. 14
The skid blocks (3) between the
wedge module and the guide plates (6)
should be adjusted regularly.
Note: To ensure that the skid blocks
wear evenly, they can be rotated
and/or turned over.
• Loosen the nuts (5) under each
guide plate (6) and push out the
4 skid blocks (3).
• Turn over or replace skid blocks.
• Re-attach the guide plates (6) and
secure with the lock washers (4)
and nuts (5).
• Re-adjust the adjusting screws (2)
on the side of the wedge module.
Servicing the unit
Hydraulic fluid and oil tank filter
• Before using the unit, always
check the hydraulic fluid level in
the oil tank of the wood splitter.
Always maintain the level within
the indicated area between “Min
and Max” (see dipstick).
• Have a repair shop change
the hydraulic fluid every
100 operating hours and clean
the oil tank filter.
Note: Contaminants in the hydraulic
fluid may damage parts of the
hydraulic system. Any work,
maintenance and service work on the
hydraulic system may be carried out
by an authorised repair shop only.
Hydraulic filter
Change the hydraulic filter every
50 operating hours. Use a 10-micron
hydraulic filter (original filter) only.
Splitting column and splitting
wedge
• Before using the unit, always
lubricate both sides of the splitting
column (where it comes into
contact with the splitting wedge)
with engine oil. The wedge plate
on the wood splitter has been
designed in such a way that the
skid blocks on the side of the
wedge plate can be removed and
rotated and/or turned over to
ensure even wear.
• When re-adjusting the adjusting
screws, ensure that the wedge can
move freely, however there
should not be too much play
between the wedge plate and
splitting column.
Hose clips
Before using the unit, always check
that the hose clips on the intake hose
and return-flow hose are tight.
Flexible pump coupling
The flexible pump coupling is a nylon
insert designed like a cross coupling
between the pump and engine shaft.
Eventually the coupling hardens and
the function deteriorates. The coupling
should be replaced if vibrations or
noises can be detected in the area
between the pump and engine.
Caution
Never strike the engine shaft in any
way, as the engine may be
permanently damaged.
Tyres
Check the tyre pressure each month.
The maximum tyre pressure is 2 bar
(see also manufacturer’s
recommendation on the tyre walls)
and should always be the same for
both tyres.
Engine
Follow all instructions in the engine
operating manual.
