Frequently Asked Questions - GHS 500/8TE GUDE
What type of hydraulic oil should be used for the Güde GHS 500/8TE log splitter?
Use a hydraulic oil with viscosity ISO VG 46. Do not mix with other types of oil.
How to change the hydraulic oil of the log splitter?
Place the machine horizontally, remove the drain plug, let the used oil flow out, then replace the plug and fill with new oil up to the indicated level. Drain recommended every 200 operating hours.
Why is the log splitter not splitting strongly enough?
This could be due to a low oil level, insufficient pressure (check the settings) or air entry into the hydraulic circuit. Bleed the system if necessary.
What is the maximum log length for this model?
The maximum length is 500 mm. For longer logs, the splitter may not operate correctly.
Can the log splitter work in vertical position?
Yes, the GHS 500/8TE model can be used in vertical position to split large logs. Ensure the machine is stable and well chocked.
What log diameter can be split?
The recommended maximum diameter is about 250 mm. Beyond that, splitting may be difficult or damage the machine.
How to maintain the electric motor?
The motor is maintenance-free. Simply ensure that the ventilation slots are clean and the power cable is in good condition. Regularly clean the cooling fins.
What to do if the log splitter does not start?
First check the power supply (plug, fuse). Then check the residual current circuit breaker and safety contacts. If nothing works, contact the after-sales service.
Is it possible to replace the hydraulic piston oneself?
Replacing the piston is a delicate operation. We recommend contacting a Güde approved professional to ensure safety and proper operation.
