7. Cleaning, maintenance and ordering
of spare parts
Always pull out the mains power plug before starting
any cleaning work.
7.1 Cleaning
Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor
housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible.
Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it
with compressed air at low pressure.
We recommend that you clean the device
immediately each time you have finished using it.
Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth
and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents
or solvents; these could attack the plastic parts of
the equipment. Ensure that no water can seep
into the device.
7.2 Transport and storage
Transport
1. Move the splitter as far downwards as possible
2. Switch off the wood splitter and disconnect the
mains lead
3. Move the hand guards together and secure them
with string (Fig. 2 / Item 21) or the like
4. Transport the wood splitter using the transport
handle in the required position (Fig. 27)
Important. The wood splitter may only be
transported in an upright position. If it is transported
in a horizontal position, the hydraulic oil must be
drained (see section 7.3.2)
Storage
Only store the wood splitter in dry rooms and in
an upright position
Move the splitter as far downwards as possible
for storage
7.3 Servicing
7.3.1 Sharpening the wedge
Once it has been in use for some time, or as and
when necessary, you should sharpen the wedge with
a fine-toothed file and carefully remove any burrs or
flat areas on the edge.
Important!
Always disconnect the device from the power supply
before starting any maintenance work!
7.3.2 Changing the hydraulic oil (Fig. 32-34)
The hydraulic oil should be changed after every
300 hours of operation.
1. Ensure that the splitter is fully extended.
2. Remove the oil filler screw (Fig. 32).
3. Undo the oil drain screw (Fig. 34) and place a
vessel with a capacity of at least 6 liters under
the oil drain screw.
4. Remove the oil drain screw fully by hand so that
the oil drains into the vessel.
5. When all the oil has drained, clean the oil drain
screw and screw it back into position.
6. Place a funnel in the opening in the oil filler
screw and pour in 3.8 liters of hydraulic oil.
7. Clean the oil dipstick at the oil filler screw and
check the oil level by inserting the dipstick into
the opening in the oil filler screw. The oil level
must be between the two marks on the oil
dipstick (Fig. 37).
Only steps 2, 6 and 7 are required to fill the wood
splitter for the first time.
