20.13 The safety mechanism of the log splitter

Figure 2013
In Figure 1 the protective cages of the cutter and the splitter are up and the bars c1 and c2
are hanging down freely; in this situation the ball shaft is out and the hydraulic functions
are inoperable.
In Figure 2 the protective cage of the splitter is down and that of the cutter is up, c1 is
tight, but c2 is hanging freely. The ball shaft is out and the hydraulic functions are
inoperable.
In Figure 3 the protective cage of the cutter is down and that of the splitter is up, c2 is
tight, but c1 is hanging freely. The ball shaft is out and the hydraulic functions are
inoperable.
In Figure 4 both protective cages are down, level rod B is turning to the right, when
looking from the behind of the log splitter, pushing the ball shaft in. If bars c1 and c2 are
not tight enough, level rod B does not turn far enough and the hydraulics of the machine
do not work. How to fix: tighten the screws at the ends of both bars, until the ball shaft
reaches the base.
The operating lever of the safety mechanism of the splitting valve is marked as bar X in
the figures. As level rod B pushes the ball shaft to the base, bar X moves to the right, when
looking from the behind of the log splitter, and releases the push rod from safety locking
into operating position.
If the safety mechanism does not open, even though both protective cages are down,
tighten the attachment point screw of bar X in the lower part of rod B.
Below the first figures are the figures of the safety mechanism of the splitting valve. In
Figures 1-3 the pushing rod of the splitting valve is security-locked, and in picture 4 it is in
operation, because rod B has moved bar X to the right and shifted the safety mechanism
into the operation position.
