ENGLISH

6 - ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

This chapter describes routine maintenance, i.e. operations carried out by the operator, on the LOGIC 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 15 every 400 hours of operation. To change the oil, proceed as follows.
•
Make sure that the log pusher of the machine is fully retracted.
•
Unscrew the cap shown in Fig. 7/A on page 3 and remove it completely.
•
Position a container under the log splitter that can hold 8 litres of oil; then tilt the machine to empty the oil (Fig. 7/B).
•
Tilt the machine in the other direction (Fig. 7/C) and pour in 6 litres of oil of one of the types indicated on page 15.
•
Clean the dipstick and insert it (fig.7/D) to check that the oil level is between the two notches on the stem.
•
Clean the cap and washer thoroughly and re-tighten completely but carefully so as not to break the threading of 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 - Refilling the hydraulic oil

Periodically check the oil level, which must be between the two notches on the oil cap dipstick (Fig. 7/D).
If the level is low, refill using the recommended types of oil on page 15.

6.3 - 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.

7 - TROUBLESHOOTING

7.1 - How to free a jammed log

•
Release both controls: the log pusher will be fully retracted.
•
Insert a triangular block of wood under the jammed log and activate the log splitter until the wedge is pushed completely under the piece of wood
(fig.8, page 3).
•
Repeat the operation with larger pieces of wood until the log is completely free.
WARNING:
•
NEVER ASK FOR THE ASSISTANCE OF ANOTHER PERSON WHEN FREEING A JAMMED LOG.
•
NOT TO TRY TO EXTRACT THE LOG HITING IT WITH A TOOL AND KEEPING THE FOOT BLOCKED, THIS COULD CAUSE THE
BREAKAGE OF THE MOTOR BLOCK (FIG. 10 PAGE 3).
•
ALL THE SAFETY RULES DESCRIBED IN CHAPTER 3 "SAFETY" ON PAGE 15 APPLY WHEN CARRYING OUT THE OPERATIONS
DESCRIBED ABOVE.
THE MANUFACTURER SHALL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE IN ANY WAY FOR INJURY TO PERSONS AND ANIMALS OR DAMAGE
TO OBJECTS CAUSED BY IMPROPER USE OF THE MACHINE OR FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE REGULATIONS DESCRIBED.
