Q: Should the SCHEPPACH HL760LS log splitter be positioned vertically for its use or maintenance?

Use: The SCHEPPACH HL760LS log splitter must remain in a horizontal position during splitting. The splitter is designed solely for horizontal operation, and wood should only be split horizontally and along the grain. It is strictly prohibited to split wood in a vertical position. Checking the oil level: Before each use, check the oil level in the reservoir (capacity: 3.5 L) with the splitter placed flat on a stable surface. The oil level should be about 1 to 2 cm lower than the surface of the reservoir. A level that is too low may damage the hydraulic pump. Oil change: When changing the oil (every 150 working hours), after draining the old oil, pour in approximately 3.5 L of hydraulic oil. Once filled, you must place the splitter in a vertical position to check the level with the oil gauge. When unscrewing it, a film of oil should form between the two notches of the gauge. This vertical position is only a temporary control step and does not apply to normal use. In summary: The machine must remain horizontal for splitting and for oil checking during normal use. The vertical position is only used exceptionally during oil changes to accurately check the level with the gauge.

Q: How to check the oil level on a SCHEPPACH HL760LS log splitter?

To check the oil level of your SCHEPPACH HL760LS log splitter, follow these simple steps: 1. Safety first Make sure the device is turned off and unplugged before any handling to avoid any risk of accident. 2. Locate the oil filler cap Find the oil filler cap on the engine, usually located on the side. 3. Checking the oil level Unscrew the filler cap. Wipe the dipstick with a clean cloth. Dip the stick into the reservoir without screwing the cap back on. Remove the stick and check the oil level indicated between the "min" and "max" marks. 4. Top up if necessary If the level is below the "min" mark, add the recommended oil until the appropriate level is reached. 5. Finalize Carefully screw the filler cap back on after checking or filling. Always use the type of oil specified for your model to ensure proper operation and longevity of your log splitter.
