C For Machines Driven By Cardan Shaft (Ts 26 Gc - Ts 42 Gc); D For Machines With Connection To The Hydraulic System Of The Tractor (Ts 26 It - Ts 42 It); Lighting; Use - Bell K90202613 Notice D'emploi Et D'entretien

ENGLISH
4.1.C - For machines driven by cardan shaft (TS 26 GC - TS 42 GC)
WARNING
Use CE-marked cardan shaft only. Carefully follow the manufacturer operating instructions
•
Make sure the tractor is off, that the parking brake is on and if necessary that the wheels are chocked.
•
Connect the log splitter to the three points of the tractor.
•
Connect the cardan shaft to the gearbox (14 in fig.1c, page 2) to the power take-off of the tractor. The cardan shaft must be of suitable length
and complete with protective cover. Check that it clicks into place.
•
After connecting the log splitter, start the tractor and check that the cardan shaft turns in the direction indicated on the data plate on the gearbox
(see par. 1.2 "SYMBOLS USED" on page 19).
•
Position the accelerator at a suitable rpm for your tractor so that the engine provides sufficient power for correct functioning of the log splitter
and check that the power take-off does not exceed 540 rpm as shown on the data plate (see par. 1.2 "SYMBOLS USED", page 19).
WARNING
Follow the few very important rules indicated above to avoid problems that could cause injury or damage.
WARNING
Never touch the cardan shaft or any other rotating parts. This is extremely dangerous and may cause injury or damage.
4.1.D - For machines with connection to the hydraulic system of the tractor (TS 26 IT - TS 42 IT)
•
Make sure the tractor is off, that the parking brake is on and if necessary that the wheels are chocked.
•
Before starting work, always check that none of the hydraulic tubes is damaged.
•
Connect the oil delivery tube and the discharge one of the log splitter to the hydraulic system of the tractor.
ATTENTION: The two pipes can be recognised thanks to the arrow labels attached to the machine, indicating the oil flow
direction.
•
Make certain that all unions are tight and that there is no leakage of oil.
•
Apply a flow rate not exceeding 40÷50 litres/min. to the hydraulic circuit of the log splitter.
•
Perform a few cycles without wood before starting work so as to vent any air present in the hydraulic circuit.
•
When disconnecting the machine from the hydraulic system of the tractor, take care not to spill any oil, and to replace the plugs on the two tube
unions.

4.2 - Lighting

Lighting must be provided in the entire work area of the log splitter to ensure perfect visibility when operating the machine and during maintenance and
adjustments. Even when working outdoors, there must be sufficient light to work safely. Working at times when insufficient light may result in poor
visibility of the machine and its components (dawn, dusk, night) is forbidden.

5 - USE

WARNING:
Do not use the machine outdoor when it is raining or snowing.
When not in use, store the machine where it is protected from atmospheric agents.
5.1.A - Switching on/off of the machine with electric motor (PS 26 T - PS 42 T)
•
Make sure that the switch/cutout of the general power system and the switch of the machine are OFF.
•
Connect the electric log splitter to the power system inserting the plug in the socket on the electric motor.
•
Never pass the power cable over the telescopic mast, close to the wedge or anywhere where it may be damaged or cut.
•
Set the main on/off switch and then press the switch in the green area to start the log splitter.
The telescopic mast will move automatically to the fully open position.
•
Use the log splitter as explained in paragraph 5.2.
•
Never leave the log splitter unattended without first of all pressing the switch in the red area (off).
•
On completing the work, switch off the log splitter by turning the switch/differential of the general power system to the "0" position (off) and
then remove the plug from the socket on the machine. Never yank the plug using the cable. Grasp the body of the plug and pull it firmly.
