Purpose of Use

The Skid Steer Log Splitter is designed to split logs for professional use.

Safety Precautions

Before using the equipment, make sure you are thoroughly familiar with its use. All operators must be properly instructed before use and maintenance of the equipment. Use by individuals with insufficient instructions may pose serious risks to the operators themselves, to the environment, and the equipment.
When coupling the attachment to the base machine, make sure that all locking cotters are intact and in order, there is no pressure in the hydraulic system, hydraulic hoses are intact, there is no skin contact to hydraulic oil when connecting hydraulic hoses, and
not to pull by the hydraulic hoses but only by the hydraulic fitting. During operation, pay attention to safe, appropriate travel speed, other traffic, people and animals, danger zones and objects that block your view, and children. NEVER use the machine
if there is someone in the danger zone. NEVER go under the attachment.
Check all bolts, nuts, and hydraulic fittings for tightness after the first day of operation. If the equipment is not likely to be used for a longer period of time, clean it thoroughly after use and lubricate as instructed. Use turn signals when driving.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Make sure you know your equipment before you start using it. Equipment may be operated only by an individual who is thoroughly familiar with its use.

Before connecting hydraulics to the base machine, make sure that:

• there is no-one between the attachment and the base machine
• the base machine is turned off and the parking brake is on.

When coupling the attachment to the base machine, make sure that:

• all locking cotters are intact and in order
• hydraulic hoses are intact
• there is no skin contact to hydraulic oil when connecting hydraulic hoses
•  you do not to pull by the hydraulic hoses, but only by the hydraulic fitting.

During operation, pay attention to:

• safe, appropriate travel speed
• other traffic, people and animals
• danger zones and objects that block your view
• children
• use of turn signal when driving
• NEVER use the machine, if there is someone in the danger zone
• NEVER go under the attachment
• During maintenance, the hydraulics of the base machine MUST be turned off. The base machine MUST also be turned off and the parking brake MUST be applied. The equipment must be properly supported, if maintenance can only be performed by going under the equipment. Never go under the equipment if it is not properly supported.

Daily maintenance:

• check general condition of structures, make repairs if needed
• check the hydraulic hoses and fittings, and replace damaged parts

After every 50 hours of operation:

• lubricate points specified in later section of this manual
• check all bolts and nuts for tightness
  WARNING! Pressurized hydraulic hoses and components!

PARTS OF THE LOG SPLITTER

USING THE LOG SPLITTER

When attaching the Log Splitter for the first time, make sure it is compatible with the base machine by following the instructions below. Always check the compatibility when attaching the collecting sweeper to a new base machine.

Attaching the Log Splitter to the base machine
The Log Splitter is attached to the base machine by welded or bolted quick hitches. The machine is connected to connected to a hydraulic system.

Before using the Log Splitter, MAKE SURE all locking cotters are secured and intact.
When coupling Log Splitter to the base machine, please pay attention to the instructions on the use of the base machine.

1. Make sure that the attachment and the base machine are compatible in terms of mechanical solutions, hydraulics and electricity.
2. Apply parking brake. The Log Splitter is attached to the coupler on the base machine. Attach the Log Splitter to the base machine, and make sure the locking cotter are secured.
3. Turn off the base machine and make sure the parking brake is applied.
4. Make sure there is no pressure in the base machine hydraulic system. When connecting, always make sure the hydraulic connectors are clean and the hoses are intact.
5. Check carefully the attachment’s, the base machine’s and the fitting’s trajectory for collision. Make sure that the needed space for hydraulic hoses and -attachments is adequate. Check that the brush roll rotates outwards from the. If not, switch hoses in the base machine.
6. During first hours of operating the attachment, bolts, nuts and connectors might loosen up. Retighten them after the first day of operating the attachment.

OPERATING THE LOG SPLITTER

Check following before using the Log Splitter:

• Log Splitter is installed properly to the base machine
• All locking cotters are in place
• Hydraulic hoses are attached properly
• Hoses are intact
• here are no oil leaks in attachment
• All functions are in order
• Learn the functions of the Log Splitter in an enclosed area before actual usage.
• Observe all unusual activity and oil leaks when operating the Log Splitter.

Using the Log Splitter

1. Make sure that the attachment and the base machine are compatible in terms of mechanical solutions, hydraulics and electricity.

7. Keep the Log Splitter in suitable distance from ground. The attachment could be damaged!
8. Stay alert for any abnormal behaviour and oil leaks also during driving.

Detaching the Log Splitter from the base machine

1. Turn off the base machine, apply the parking brake and depressurize the system.
2. Detach the hydraulic hoses and protect hose ends with plugs.
3. Unlock the coupling mechanism and detach the device.
4. If the equipment is not likely to be used for a longer period of time, clean it thoroughly after operating and
lubricate as instructed. Remove water from irrigation system’s hoses. If possible, store the unit inside.
