•Wait until all moving parts have come to a standstill; leave the engine to cool down.
•Remove
•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
•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.

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
50operating hours. Use a
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
Hose clips
Before using the unit, always check that the hose clips on the intake hose and
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.
