Frequently Asked Questions - LH6500H Herkules
What type of oil should I use for the hydraulic system?
Use a hydraulic oil ISO VG 32 or equivalent. Always check the manual for exact specifications and do not mix different oil types.
How often should I check the hydraulic oil level?
Check the hydraulic oil level before each use to ensure the splitter operates smoothly. Low oil can cause pump damage and reduced splitting force.
What safety precautions should I take before operating?
Wear protective gloves and safety goggles. Make sure the log splitter is on a stable, level surface. Keep hands and feet away from the splitting wedge and never reach over the machine during operation.
How do I troubleshoot when the splitter does not move?
First, check that the power cord is connected and the motor is running. Then inspect the hydraulic oil level and ensure the control valve is in the correct position. If the issue persists, bleed the hydraulic system according to the manual.
Can I use an extension cord with this log splitter?
Yes, but use a heavy-duty extension cord with a sufficient cross-section (min. 1.5 mm²) and a maximum length of 25 meters. A longer or thinner cord can cause voltage drop and motor damage.
How should I store the log splitter during winter?
Clean the machine thoroughly and drain the hydraulic oil if temperatures drop below freezing. Store it in a dry, frost-free place. If storing outdoors, cover it with a waterproof tarp.
What is the maximum log length that can be split?
The maximum log length is 600 mm. Longer logs may not fit properly and could damage the splitter or create a safety hazard.
How do I maintain the wedge and splitting blade?
Keep the wedge clean and lightly lubricated to ease splitting. Inspect for nicks or wear and sharpen it with a metal file if necessary. Replace the wedge if it is severely damaged.
Where can I find spare parts for this model?
Spare parts are available through authorized Herkules service centers. Use the model number LH6500H when ordering. For common parts like filters and seals, you can also consult the parts list in the manual.
What does the emergency stop button do?
The emergency stop immediately halts motor operation and wedge movement. Use it only in an emergency or when you need to quickly cut power. Reset it after each activation.
