Unpacking/Assembly
Caution!
The log splitter should only be used when all its
component parts
assembled.
1. Check the package contents (Illus. A/B). Inform the
dealer if deficiencies are detected.
Note:
Tools required for assembly/operation are
depicted in Illus. C. These are not included in the
scope of delivery.
Mounting the transport wheels
1. Fit the axle (Illus. 1-2) from outside through the wheel
and through the tube (Illus. 1-1) and secure it with the
spring plug (Illus. 1-3).
Mounting the feet (KHS 5200)
1. Mount the transportation wheels on both the front feet;
see Section "Mounting the transport wheels."
Warning!
The transportation wheels are only used to
transport the log splitter. During splitting
operation, the wheels must be removed from the
feet and mounted in the park position (Illus. B-
11).
2. Tilt the log splitter on to one side and mount the front and
rear foot.
3. Fit the foot (Illus. 2-2 and Illus. 4-2) up to the stop limit
inside the tubular frame (Illus. 2-1 and 4-1) and secure it
firmly in position with screws, washers, and locking nuts.
4. Tilt the log splitter onto the opposite side with the help of
a second person, and mount the other feet and
afterwards put it upright.
5. Put the log splitter in vertical position (piston rod upright)
and screw the support foot (illus. 3-1) on the rear feet.
6. Erect the log splitter and mount the cross members in
front (Illus 5-1) with the help of the threaded rod (Illus. 5-
1).

Operation
Caution!
The log splitter should not be operated if
components (e.g. the protective hoops) are
missing or defective or the connection cable is
damaged.
Prior to every use
1. Conduct a visual inspection of the log splitter.
2. The log splitter should not be operated if components are
missing, defective or loose.
3. Visually inspect the connection cable. A defective
connection cable (e.g. with cracks, cuts, crushing
damage or bends in the insulation) should not be used.
4. Visually inspect the hydraulic components for leaks.
Log splitter start-up
Caution!
The log splitter should only be used by one
person.
1. Position the log splitter horizontally on a level, firm
surface, better with a slight inclination towards the
operating lever (since the valves are seated here). If
inclined towards the splitting wedge it loses splitting
force. Do not deposit the log splitter on the connection
cable!
2. Lay the connection cable so that it cannot be damaged
by bending, crushing or otherwise.
Warning!
The transportation wheels with model KHS 5200
are only used to transport the log splitter. During
splitting operation, the wheels must be removed
from the feet and mounted in the park position.
3. Loosen the venting screw (Illus. 6) by 3-4 turns.
Note:
After splitting, tighten the venting screw (Illus. 6)
again .
4. Depending on the length, lay the log such that the
wooden log is held by the log guide tubes.
Warning!
Never lay the log on the splitter in transverse
direction, see Illus. 10.
Never force the splitting of a log by sustaining the
hydraulic pressure over several seconds.
