The Scheppach OX T500 Log Splitter requires a high-quality hydraulic oil such as VG 46 or equivalent. Make sure to check the manufacturer's guidelines for any specific recommendations.
It is recommended to change the hydraulic oil every 100 hours of operation or at least once a year, whichever comes first, to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the log splitter.
If the log splitter is not functioning properly, check for any blockages, ensure the hydraulic oil level is adequate, and inspect hoses for leaks or damage. If problems persist, refer to the user manual or contact customer support.
To transport the log splitter, ensure it is turned off and secured properly. Use the transport handle and wheels for easy movement and avoid lifting heavy components alone. Always follow safety instructions in the manual.
Store the log splitter in a dry, sheltered location to protect it from the elements. Ensure it is clean, with hydraulic oil levels checked, and disconnect the power source if applicable.
To bleed air from the hydraulic system, operate the splitter through its full cycle several times without splitting wood, ensuring the hydraulic tank is full. This will help expel trapped air.
Regularly check and tighten all bolts and screws, inspect hoses for damage, change hydraulic oil as needed, and clean debris from the machine after each use to maintain optimal performance.
If the log splitter overheats, ensure the hydraulic oil is at the correct level and not contaminated. Check for any obstructions in airflow around the motor and allow the unit to cool down before further use.
Yes, but it is advisable to use a low viscosity hydraulic oil suited for cold conditions and allow the machine to warm up by running it through a few cycles without load before use.
Unusual noises may indicate loose parts, low hydraulic oil, or air in the system. Inspect the machine for loose bolts, ensure the hydraulic oil is topped up, and bleed the system if necessary.
