LOG SPLITTER OPERATION 10
This log splitter is equipped with “ZHB” control system that requires to be operated by both hands of the user – Left hand controls the hydraulic control lever while right hand controls the pushbutton switch. The log splitter will freeze upon absence of either hand. Only after both hands release the controls, the log pusher starts to return backward to the starting position. Trigger type lock-out device is adopted to avoid accidental Hydraulic Control Lever pushdown.
on it to split excessively hard wood. After this time interval, the oil under pressure will be overheated and the machine could be damaged. For such extremely hard log, rotate it by 90o to see whether it can be split in a different direction. In any case, if you are not able to split the log, this means that its hardness exceeds the capacity of the machine and thus that log should be discarded to protect the log splitter. Always set logs firmly on the log retaining plates and work table.
Release both controls. After the log pusher moves back and completely stops at its starting position, insert a wedge wood under the jammed log. Start the log splitter to push the wedge wood to go completely under the jammed one. Repeat above procedure with sharper slope wedge woods until the log is completely freed. Do not try to knock the jammed log off. Knocking about will damage the machine or may launch the log and cause accident.
Replace the Hydraulic oil in the log splitter after every 150 hours of use. Take following steps to replace it. Make sure all moving parts stops and the log splitter is unplugged. Unscrew Oil Drain Bolt with Dipstick to remove it. Turn the log splitter on the Support Leg side over an 4 liters capacity container to drain the hydraulic oil off. Turn the log splitter on the the motor side.
