Hydraulic Oil - ATIKA ASP 8 N - 400 Manual Original

Sharpening the splitting blade
After longer operating periods, for reduced splitting performance
or slight deformation of the cutting edge, grind the splitting blade
or sharpen it with a fine file (remove burrs).
How do I check the oil level?
1. The splitting column
must be in run-in state.
Now remove the dipstick.
2. Clean the dipstick and
the oil seal.
3. Replace the dipstick fully
into the oil reservoir.
4. Now remove the dipstick
again and read off the oil
level.
If the oil level is between the two marking on the oil dipstick,
there is sufficient oil in the reservoir.
If the oil level is below the lower marking, more oil should be
added with the aid of a clean funnel.

6. Check the oil seal and replace it if it is damaged in any way.

When should I change the oil?
The first oil change should be carried out after 50 operating
hours, and then every 500 operating hours.
Two persons are required for this.
Changing the oil:
1. The splitting column must be in run-in state.
2. Now remove the dipstick.
3. Place a container under the log splitter to catch the old oil.
The container should have a capacity of at least 5 litres.
4. Screw off the drain plug to allow the oil to flow out.
5. Insert the seal and drain plug again.
6. Pour in the new hydraulic oil (approx. 2 litres) using a clean
funnel.
7. Clean the dipstick and the oil seal.
8. Check the oil seal and replace it if it is damaged in any way.
9. Replace the dipstick.
Dispose of the old oil properly (local oil disposal point). The
old oil must not be poured into the ground or drainage
system, or mixed with other waste.
