Routine Maintenance; Cleaning The Oil Filter; How To Change The Hydraulic Oil; Sharpening The Wedge - Bell BOLIK 50 US Manual For Use And Maintenance

6 - ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

This chapter describes routine maintenance, i.e. operations carried out by the operator, on the BOLIK log splitter to keep this in perfect working
order and therefore reliable for continuous, long-term use.
All routine maintenance operations must be carried out with the machine off and in the case of log splitters with electric motor with the power cable
disconnected.
Any other maintenance operation not specifically envisaged in this manual must be carried out by authorised personnel only in
that hazardous situations may arise for which the operator is not prepared.
In the case in which extraordinary maintenance or part replacement operations are not carried out by authorised personnel, the
guarantee shall be immediately null and void and the manufacturer shall be relieved of any responsibility for injury to persons
or animals or damage.

6.1 - How to change the hydraulic oil

The spent oil must be replaced with new oil of the type indicated on page 18 (Recommended oils) every 600 hours of operation. To change the oil,
proceed as follows.
•
Make sure that the log pusher is fully retracted.
•
Place a collection tray able to hold around 4,5 litres of oil under the oil drainage dowel (fig.11, page 4).
•
Unscrew the dowel (fig. 11) with a suitable allen wrench and let all the oil in the tank drain into the collection tray.
Tilt the log splitter slightly to drain the oil tank completely.
•
When the tank is completely empty, clean the drain outlet and cap with petrol, then screw the cap back into place.
•
Remove the oil cap (fig.12) and fill the tank with suitable oil (the oils to be used are indicated on page 18), pouring in about 2,5 litres.
•
Switch on the log splitter and put it into operation, running it through about 1/3 of the complete stroke.
•
Completely retract the log pusher then add the rest of the oil and put the machine through two complete cycles to drive the air from the hydraulic
circuit.
•
Clean the oil filler inlet and replace the cap.
WARNING:
NEVER MIX OIL WITH GENERAL WASTE!
USED OIL MUST BE DISPOSED OF ACCORDING TO CURRENT REGULATIONS IN THE COUNTRY WHERE THE MACHINE IS USED.

6.2 - Sharpening the wedge

After long periods of operation and when required, sharpen the wedge of the log splitter using a fine-toothed file and taking care to remove any
burrs or crushed parts of the metal.
