Frequently Asked Questions - HL400CH SCHEPPACH
What type of hydraulic oil does the Scheppach HL400CH use?
Use HLP 32 hydraulic oil or equivalent high-quality hydraulic fluid. The reservoir holds approx. 2.5 litres. Always check the level before use and refill through the fill port on the pump.
Can the HL400CH split logs vertically?
No, the model HL400CH is a horizontal log splitter only. Logs are placed on the horizontal trough and pushed against the splitting knife. This design is ideal for smaller to medium logs.
What is the maximum log size the HL400CH can split?
The maximum log length is 400 mm and the maximum diameter is 200 mm. Oversized wood must be cut to size before splitting.
How do I change the hydraulic oil?
Place a container under the drain plug, remove the plug, and let the old oil drain completely. Refill with HLP 32 to the upper mark, then vent the system by cycling the piston several times without load.
Why does the cylinder move slowly or not at all?
Check if the hydraulic oil level is low, the release valve is fully closed, and the motor direction is correct (if 400 V). Air in the system can also cause sluggish movement; bleed it by opening the valve and running the ram through full strokes.
Is it safe to use the HL400CH with one hand?
No, always operate with both hands on the control levers. The two-hand operation keeps your hands away from the splitting wedge. Never bypass this safety feature.
Can I split green wood directly after cutting?
Yes, the 4-tonne splitting force can handle fresh or slightly dried wood. It is not recommended to split frozen logs, as this can damage the blade or cylinder.
What regular maintenance does the log splitter require?
Before each use, check hydraulic oil level, hose connections, and fasteners. Lubricate the sliding surfaces of the trough with light oil. After every 50 hours of operation, inspect the hydraulic system for leaks.
How do I store the log splitter after use?
Clean off wood chips and moisture, cycle the piston twice, and store in a dry area. Cover the motor and electrical parts to protect them from dust.
Where can I get replacement parts for the HL400CH?
Genuine Scheppach parts are available through authorised service partners and online spare parts shops. Use only original components to ensure safety and durability.
