Environmental conditions
The device must work under the following environmen-
tal conditions:
Temperature
Humidity
When working below 5°C, the device should be idled
for approx. 15 minutes to allow the hydraulic oil to warm
up.
AC motors 230V should have a temperature between
5°C - 10°C when starting at low outdoor temperatures,
as the starting current increases at low temperatures
and the circuit breaker can be triggered.
• The mains power connection is protected with a 16A
slow-blow fuse.
• The "RCD circuit breaker" must have a 30mA trip
rating.
Tool required:
• Grease or spray oil
Not included in the scope of delivery.
10.1 Setting up the log splitter
m Attention!
Risk of injury from the log splitter tipping over. A
toppling log splitter can cause serious injuries and
damage.
Prepare the workplace where the device is to be lo-
cated.
• Create enough space to allow safe, trouble-free
working.
• The device is designed for working on level surfac-
es and must be set up securely on a level and firm
surface.
10.2 Checking the oil level (Fig. 1, 9)
m Attention!
Check the oil level prior to commissioning!
The hydraulic system is a closed system with an oil
tank, oil pump and control valve. There is already oil in
the system when delivered. Check the oil level before
the initial commissioning and regularly before commis-
sioning. An oil level that is too low can damage the oil
pump, refill with oil if necessary.
