Assembly; Location; Commissioning; Working With The Log Splitter - ATIKA ASP 8 N-2 Manual Original

Assembly

Connect the firewood splitter to the power supply
system only after having finished the complete as-
sembly.
Mount the wheels, the table and the operating arms as shown
in Figures 2 – 6 in the assembly and operating chart.
Make sure after mounting that all screws are tight-
ened firmly.

Location

The machine must be placed in a stable manner
on a solid and flat surface (such as concrete floor). To
ensure the stability, it is necessary to screw the ma-
chine with two dowels and screws (at least M10 x 80)
on the ground.
Ensure that the working area meets the following conditions:
 secured against slipping
 even
 free of tripping hazards
 adequate light
Do not operate the machine in the direct vicinity of
gas or petrol pipes or containers, or any other easily
inflammable materials.

Commissioning

 Check that the machine is completely and correctly assem-
bled.
 Before each use, check
Connection cables for defects (cracks, cuts, etc.).

Do not use any defect cables
there are no damages at the machine

(see „safety instructions")
all screws are tight.

check the hydraulic system for any possible leaks

hydraulic hoses and fittings

shut-off devices

the oil level

Bleeding
Vent the hydraulic system before putting the log splitter
into operation.
 Unscrew the oil cap (20) by several turns so that air may
escape from the oil tank.
 Leave the oil cap open during operation.
 Close the oil cap before moving the log splitter, as other-
wise oil will leak at this point.

If the hydraulic system is not vented, the trapped air will
damage the seals and cause permanent damage to the
log splitter.

Mains connection
 Compare the voltage given on the machine model plate
with the mains voltage and connect the machine to the rel-
evant and properly earthed plug.
 Only use extension cables with sufficient core cross-
section.
 Connect the machine via a 30 mA fault current safety
switch.

Fuse protection: 16 A time-lag
Switching on:
Press the green button.
Switching off
Press the red button.
Prior to every use, check the function of the discon-
nection mechanism (by switching on and off).
Do not use any device where the switch can not be
switched on and off. Damaged switches must be repaired
or replaced immediately by the customer service.
Restart protection in case of power failure
(zero-voltage initiator)

The equipment will switch off automatically if there is a
power cut. Repress the green button to switch it on again.
Log splitter with 400 V 3~
Make sure that the motor turns in the
correct direction (see motor arrow), because operation in
the wrong direction damages the oil pump.
Check the direction of rotation:
 Switch on motor; the splitting blade automatically moves to
the highest position.
 If the splitting blade is already in its highest position: grip
both operating handles and push them down. The splitting
blade moves downwards.
 If the splitting blade does not move after the motor has
started, switch off the motor and change the direction of
rotation.
You can change the direction by placing a screw-driver in
the slot provided in the plug collar, and adjust the correct direc-
tion by moving to the left or right applying slight pressure.
Hydraulics
Check the hydraulic lines and hoses before each
use.
 Never operate the machine in the event of any possible
danger from hydraulic fluid.
 Ensure that the machine and working area are clean and
free of oil.
Danger of slippage or fire!
