10. Start-up

ATTENTION!

Always make sure the product is fully assembled before commissioning!

Make sure that the product is installed completely and properly. Before each use, always check:

• The product for possible damage,
• whether all screws are tightened,
• the hydraulic oil for leaks and
- the oil level
• Function of the two-hand control (see function test)
- the safety devices.

10.1 Check the oil level

The hydraulic system is a closed system with an oil tank, oil pump and control valve. Check the oil level regularly before commissioning. An oil level that is too low can damage the oil pump. The oil level must be within the middle mark on the oil dipstick. The splitting column must be retracted before the check, the product must be level. Screw in the oil dipstick fully, to measure the oil level.

10.2 Functional check (Fig. 1)

Carry out a functional check before each use.

Action:
Result:

Push both operating levers (2+11) down.	Splitting blade (4) goes down-until approx. 20 cm above the table.
Release one operating lever (2 or 11) at a time.	The splitting blade (4) remains in the selected position.
Release both operating levers (2+11).	The splitting blade (4) remains in the selected position.
Press the return bar (3) downwards.	Splitting blade (4) moves upwards.

Attention!

Loosen the filler plug (18) before commissioning. Never forget to loosen the filler plug (18)! Otherwise, the air in the system will be repeatedly compressed and depressurised, which will destroy the seals of the hydraulic circuit and the log splitter will no longer be usable. In this case, the seller and the manufacturer disassociate themselves from any warranty claims.

10.3 Cardan shaft

• Before connecting the product to the power take-off shaft of the drive vehicle, ensure that the weight of the machine is suitable for the drive vehicle. The weight of the machine can be found on the manufacturer's rating plate.
• The cardan shaft may only be connected when the drive vehicle's engine is switched off.
• Only use approved cardan shafts that are suitable for use with the product. The cardan shaft must also be equipped with all safety devices, which must be in good condition.
• Do not stand near the cardan shaft when it is in operation.
• Ensure that the speed on the drive vehicle does not exceed the number specified on the rating plate.
• Before carrying out maintenance work or if the splitting blade (4) has jammed, first disconnect the product from the drive vehicle and switch off the engine.

10.4 Attaching the splitter to the drive vehicle (Fig. 12+13)

1. Reverse the drive vehicle up to the product. Position the lower mounting arms close enough to the mounting pins of the log splitter.
2. Apply the parking brake of the drive vehicle and switch off the engine. Block the rear wheels on both sides with wedges or other suitable objects.
3. Remove the dust cover (15) and attach it to the cardan shaft protective cover (7).
4. Lower the lower mounting arms (17) to the mounting pins of the product and secure them with the locking pins (17a).
5. Position the upper mounting arm (16) in the bracket and align it with the holes in the bracket. Insert the hanger pin (16a) to lock the upper mounting arm.

6. The cardan shaft end of the gearbox has a diameter of 34.8 mm and a connection with 6 teeth (standard category 1 cardan).

7. Slide the cardan drive shaft over the power take-off shaft (16b) on the gearbox and on the drive vehicle (16c). Press in the spring pins located at both ends of the cardan shaft drive. Push the drive shaft further over the power take-off shaft (16b+16c) until the spring pins spring out and engage in the teeth of the end of the cardan shaft.

8. Viewed from above and from the side of the shaft, the power take-off shaft on the log splitter (16b) and the power take-off shaft on the drive vehicle (16c) must be aligned parallel. The angles of the universal joints ( ) must be as small as possible.
9. Secure the safety chain of the cardan shaft drive to a fixed part of the product and the drive to prevent the protective device from turning.

Check the direction of rotation of the PTO shaft (16c) of the drive vehicle. If the splitting blade (4) is not in the upper position, move it upwards by pressing the return bar (3). If the splitting blade (4) is already in the top position, activate the splitting mechanism by moving the two operating levers (2+11) downwards. This moves the splitting blade (4) downwards. If the splitting blade (4) does not move despite actuating the operating levers (2+11) or the return bar (3), stop the power take-off shaft drive and change its direction of rotation.

Never allow the power take-off shaft drive to run with the wrong direction of rotation! This will inevitably lead to the destruction of the pump system and no warranty claim can be made for this.

Only use cardan shafts with a CE mark, declaration of conformity and operating instructions! Read these instructions carefully before use! Carry out the aforementioned operations only with the engine switched off, the PTO connector disconnected and the ignition key removed!

10.5 Disconnecting the splitter from the drive vehicle (Fig. 12+13)
