7. Care and Maintenance
A
Danger!
Prior to all servicing:
1.
Turn splitter OFF
2.
Unplug power cable
Directly after stopping the splitter, the
hydraulic oil and the hydraulic sys-
tem's parts may be hot! Let the split-
ter cool down before any servicing.
Avoid direct skin contact with hydrau-
lic oil. Wear protective gloves.
Dispose of hydraulic oil in an envi-
ronmentally friendly manner at a
proper waste oil collection point.
When topping up or changing the
hydraulic oil, be sure to use only
approved types of oil (see "Technical
Specifications").
Replace damaged parts, especially
safety devices, only with genuine
replacement parts since parts not
tested and approved by the manu-
facturer can cause unforeseeable
damage.
Repair and maintenance work other
than described in this section should
only be carried out by qualified spe-
cialists.
Check to see that all safety devices
are operational again after each
service.
7.1
Changing the Hydraulic Oil
The hydraulic oil should be changed
after every 500 operating hours.
1.
Move the splitting knife all the way
down, and turn the splitter OFF.

Check oil level. The oil level must
(with lowered splitter column) be
between the max. and min. marks.

Screw oil reservoir cap (30) back on
and open so much that air can
escape from the reservoir.
7.
Let the splitter run idle for several

Every 50 hours of operation
Wipe off all moving/articulated parts
(joints,
hinges
and
splitter
guides) with suitable cloths, then oil
lightly.
Check oil level. The oil level must (with
lowered splitter column) be between the
min. and max. mark.
Every 500 hours of operation
