Test Run; Testing The Log Splitter; Carrying Out The Test Run - Hakki Pilke Easy 42 Series Instructions For Assembly, Operation And Maintenance

14 TEST RUN

14.1 Testing the log splitter

The log splitter must always undergo thorough testing before it is used. Only a person who
has read and understood the log splitter operation, maintenance, and safety instructions is
allowed to carry out the testing and test run.
Before the test run, all the components of the log splitter must be checked. If any faults or
wear that may affect the safe use of the machine is discovered, the log splitter must not be
used until the faulty or worn component is replaced and safe use is ensured.

14.2 Carrying out the test run

14.2-a. Check that the log splitter's cutting and splitting guards are down.
14.2-b. Check that the input and output conveyors are in the applicable operating position.
14.2-c. Check that the cutting blade is up.
14.2-d1. Tractor-powered: Start the tractor and connect the output, starting with slow
speeds and increasing the speed to a maximum of 300 RPM.
14.2-d2. Electrically-powered: Connect a cable to the log splitter socket, start the log
splitter by pressing the Start (See Chapter 4.2, Start and stop buttons).
Note! When the surrounding temperature is below zero, run the log splitter for
a while without any testing procedures to increase the viscosity of the log
splitter's hydraulic oil.
14.2-e. Start the cutting blade by moving lever C into operating position c2 (see 5.C)
14.2-f. Check that the cutting blade lubrication works (see 20.11),
14.2-g1. Check that the saw stops when you lift the cutting and splitting guards.
14.2-g2. Start splitting mode. Check that splitting stops when you lift the cutting
and splitting guards.
14.2-h. Start cutting mode with the log splitter controls. (Lower and lift the cutting blade.)
Check that cutting mode starts. Repeat the cutting blade action a few times.
14.2-i. Restart cutting mode and reverse the cutting direction half way by turning the
cutting mode reverse lever once (see 5d).
14.2-j. Test the feed and return of the input conveyor (see C1, C3, and C4 ).
14.2-k. Test that you can turn the output conveyor (see b1-b2) and change its speed (see
5i).
14.2-1. Test that you can lift and lower the splitting blade (see b3-b4).
14.2-m. Test the conveyor start and stop levers (see h1-h2).
If you discover any faults, even minor ones, during the test run, you must determine the
cause and fix the problem before using the log splitter.
