16.1.2 Bleeding the hydraulic system
Never forget to loosen the oil tank cap! Otherwise the air in the system will be
compressed and released again and again, which will destroy the seals of the
hydraulic circuit and make the log splitter unusable.
16.1.3 Checking the rotation direction of the motor –
for models ZI-HS12TN and ZI-HS14TN only
Never run the motor in the wrong rotation direction. This will damage the pump and
void the warranty.

Operating
16.2.1 Splitting lever
Splitting force and splitting speed are controlled by the splitting lever. The splitting lever is simply
raised or lowered for operation.

NOTICE
Vent the hydraulic system before starting the log splitter.
To do this, loosen the cover of the hydraulic oil tank by a
few turns until the air can flow in and out gently.
The air flow through the oil tank should be visible during
operation.
To prevent oil from leaking out, the oil tank cover must be
tightly closed before each transport!
NOTICE
Phase inverter
Check the rotation direction of the motor. If necessary
reverse the polarity of the motor using a screwdriver
(phase inverter inside the plug - see picture on the left).
The first half stroke of the splitting lever is idle speed; press the
splitting lever to the half stroke for maximum splitting force at
slower speed to split the log at the beginning or particularly hard
and seasoned logs.
Press the splitting lever to the end for faster speed at less splitting
force to finish the splitting or to split usual logs.
