Operating The Machine For The First Time; Unpacking And Preparing The Log Splitter; Lighting; Adjusting The Beam (Bolik 100 Model Only) - Bell BOLIK 50 US Manual For Use And Maintenance

4 - OPERATING THE MACHINE
The log splitter, in compliance with standard EN 609-1, is activated with a two hand control: the machine will function only when both the
levers are activated together (fig.8, page 3).
Never use the log splitter if it is not in perfect order or if it needs servicing. Before starting work, check correct functioning of all the safety devices
(two hand control and switch-off butto).
Before starting work, switch on the log splitter and let the oil warm up for a few minutes.

4.1 - Unpacking and preparing the log splitter

Before operating the machine, it is necessary:
4.1.A - Assemble the control levers and the relative protection
Assemble the levers and the relative protection and secure it with the appropriate screws supplied (fig.3, page 2)
4.1.B - Assemble the wheels
Insert the axle (1 in fig.4, page 2) into the appropriated holes and the wheels (2) on the axle. Block the wheels using the elastic washer (3) and
cover the hole on the wheel with the plastic cap (4) supplied.
4.1.C - Extract and fix the cylinder
The logsplitter is supplied with the cylinder pushed back.
•
Pull the cylinder out, push it against the body of the machine (fig.7, page 3) and insert the two screws onto the chassis, in the cylinder's holes.
•
Fix the cylinder by screwing the nuts on the screws without tightening them too much
WARNING:
DO NOT SWITCH-ON THE LOG SPLITTER WITH THE CYLINDER NOT FIXED.
THE CYLINDER MUST BE EXTENDED AND FIXED WITH THE LOG SPLITTER OFF.
4.1.D - Replace the oil cap
Remove the transparent oil sump cap (1 in fig.6, page 3) and fit the cap with the rod (2 in fig.6) supplied in the bag attached to the log splitter.
4.2 - Test of the engine's rotation direction
If the motor does not run in the correct direction, invert two of the phases in the socket. Remove the plug from the log splitter. Insert a slotted
screwdriver with a suitably sized wedge in the slot located in the connection inlet close to the electric motor as shown in figure 5. Exerting a slight
pressure, turn the white wheel by 180°. This operation physically inverts the poles on the three-phase motor.
Check that the motor runs in the correct direction as indicated by the arrow.
Never open the box containing the switch, or open the terminal block on the motor.
If it is necessary to do so, have these operations carried out by your electrician.
If the fuses blow or the protection valve trips, this means that you are overloading the motor or the electrical installation is not correctly rated.
Consult your electrician.

4.3 - Lighting

Lighting must be provided in the entire work area of the log splitter to ensure perfect visibility when operating the machine and during maintenance
and adjustments. Even when working outdoors, there must be sufficient light to work safely. Working at times when insufficient light may result in
poor visibility of the machine and its components (dawn, dusk, night) is forbidden.
