6 - ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

This chapter describes routine maintenance, i.e. operations carried out by the operator, on the log splitter to keep it in perfect working order and
therefore reliable for continuous, long-term use.
All routine maintenance operations must be carried out with the machine off and in the case of log splitters with electric motor with the power cable
disconnected.
Any other maintenance operation not specifically envisaged in this manual must be carried out by authorised personnel only in
that hazardous situations may arise for which the operator is not prepared.
In the case in which extraordinary maintenance or part replacement operations are not carried out by authorised personnel, the
guarantee shall be immediately null and void and the manufacturer shall be relieved of any responsibility for injury to persons
or animals or damage.
6.1 - How to clean the oil filter (Fig.6, page 3).
To keep the machine in perfect working order, the oil filter of the hydraulic system must be cleaned thoroughly every 200 hours of operation.
•
As shown in fig.6, use the appropriate spanner to hold the reduction unit (1) still, and unscrew the connected pipe in order to release it.
•
Use a suitable spanner to unscrew the filter plug (2) pressing down on the lateral grooves (3).
•
When the filter has been opened, you will see the spring catch inside (4), the filter itself (5) and the seal (6). Remove the parts and clean them
thoroughly with petrol until they are perfectly clean (pay special attention to the micro filter 5).
•
Once all the parts are clean, replace the seal (6) inside the cap (2), the filter (5) above the seal, taking care that the narrowest part of the filter
is facing the top, and put the spring (4) onto the filter (5).
•
Place this assembly into the body (7) and screw down. Tighten with the spanner once the end stop is reached.
•
Screw the pipe back onto the reduction unit (1) and tighten with the suitable spanner.

6.2 - How to change the hydraulic oil

The waste oil must be replaced with new oil of the type indicated on page 20 every 600 hours of operation.
To change the oil, proceed as follows.
•
Make sure the log pusher on the machine is fully retracted.
•
The oil recovery pipe is located next to the oil tank. Place a basin, which can hold approximately 10 L of oil, underneath the outlet.
•
Unscrew the nut (3 in fig.3, page 3) on the pipe band using a suitable spanner, remove the pipe and wait for all the oil in the tank to be released
into the basin.
•
When the tank is completely empty, clean the outlet with petrol, reinsert the pipe and tighten the pipe band.
The oil tank holds about 5.5 L of oil.
•
Unscrew the oil cap (2 in fig.3, page 3) and refill the tank with a suitable oil (oils to be used are listed on page 20).
•
Execute several work cycles without logs in order to release any air that may be present in the hydraulic circuit.
•
The correct amount of oil is when it reaches 3.5 / 4.5 cm from the top of the oil outlet boss (fig.3, page 3).
•
Clean the oil cap outlet and screw the cap back on.
WARNING:
NEVER MIX OIL WITH GENERAL WASTE! USED OIL MUST BE DISPOSED OF ACCORDING TO CURRENT REGULATIONS IN THE
COUNTRY WHERE THE MACHINE IS USED.

6.3 - Sharpening the wedge

After long periods of operation and when required, sharpen the wedge of the log splitter.
