ENGLISH
4.1.C - For machines driven by cardan shaft (STS 42 GC)
WARNING
Use CE-marked cardan shaft only. Carefully follow the manufacturer operating instructions
•
Make sure the tractor is off, that the parking brake is on and if necessary that the wheels are chocked.
•
Connect the log splitter to the three points of the tractor.
•
Connect the cardan shaft to the gearbox (12 in fig.1a, page 2) to the power take-off of the tractor. The cardan shaft must be of suitable length
and complete with protective cover. Check that it clicks into place.
•
After connecting the log splitter, start the tractor and check that the cardan shaft turns in the direction indicated on the data plate on the gearbox
(see par. 1.2 "SYMBOLS USED" on page 19).
•
Position the accelerator at a suitable rpm for your tractor so that the engine provides sufficient power for correct functioning of the log splitter
and check that the power take-off does not exceed 540 rpm as shown on the data plate (see par. 1.2 "SYMBOLS USED", page 19).
WARNING
Follow the few very important rules indicated above to avoid problems that could cause injury or damage.
WARNING
Never touch the cardan shaft or any other rotating parts. This is extremely dangerous and may cause injury or damage.

4.2 - 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.

5 - USE

WARNING:
Do not use the machine outdoor when it is raining or snowing.
When not in use, store the machine where it is protected from atmospheric agents.
