Qualification and Training of Personnel

The Hydrasplitter must only be used, serviced and maintained by

personnel that are familiar with the machine and are informed about

its dangers.

The owner is responsible for the competence and supervision of the

operator. If the operator does not have the necessary knowledge,

they must be trained and instructed, failing this they must be 100%

supervised. It is not just sufficient to give the operator this manual,

the owner must be completely satisfied that the operator fully

understands the contents of this operating manual.

Maintenance work that is not described in this operating manual

must only be conducted by authorised qualified workshops.

Safety Instructions & Warning Signs

Failure to heed the safety instructions and warning signs will place

people and the environment at risk, as well as compromising the

operation of the machine.

Failure to comply with the instructions and precautions given in this

manual will invalidate the warranty in respect of claims for damage.

Failure to comply with the instructions for service and maintenance

and failure to heed the safety instructions and warning signs can lead

to the following:

Hazards to people due to non-secured work areas

Failure of important machine functions

Hazards to people and environment due to mechanical and

chemical influences

Invalidation of warranty

Connection

The Hydrasplitter is designed to mount to the three point linkage of a

tractor.

To install the machine onto your tractor:

1) Place the splitter on a firm and stable platform at a minimum

of 300mm high.

2) Remove the lynch pins from the lower two link pins and

remove the top link pin and set aside.

3) Reverse tractor to the splitter and mount the lower link arms to

the lower link pins using bushes if need be.

4) Connect the top link to the top link pin in the splitter, ensuring

all three lynch pins are returned and locked in place.

5) Adjust the top link pin to make the splitter level.

6) Connect the two hoses to the tractor hydraulics. (For optimum

performance connect return line from valve to a free dump port returning

oil directly to transmission)

NOTE: A pressure and return circuit is necessary as well as a detent on the

hydraulic remote control lever on the tractor

Operation

Ensure the tractor hand brake is engaged

You can now start your splitting operation.

1) Start the tractor and engage the hydraulic control to give you

oil flow to the splitter.

2) Place wood rings close to the anvil, remove all hands from

the splitting area and move the lever to the left (TPL), or

down (VTL).

3) When the wood has split, move the lever to the hard right

(TPL), or fully up (VTL), which will automatically return the

ram and reset the lever to the neutral position.

On completion of splitting the ram must be fully retracted so that

the Hydrasplitter can be re-connected with the ram in this position.

Safety Precautions

Before starting work, familiarise yourself with all equipment,

operating parts and their functions – during operation there

maybe no time to do this

Avoid loosely fitting clothes

Check the immediate area before moving and before starting

operation for animals, children and bystanders.

Start the Hydrasplitter only if all safety equipment and guards

are attached and correctly positioned

Keep hands well away from the working area

Do not reach over the wedge when operating the machine

All service, inspection and maintenance work detailed in this

manual is carried out by trained personnel

Inspection and maintenance work on the machine must only be

carried out with the ram and lever in the neutral position, the

tractor engine stopped and the Hydrasplitter firmly supported –

do not rely on the tractor hydraulics

Directly after maintenance and inspection, all safety equipment

and guards must be reattached or made functional.

Maintenance

Removing Trapped Air from the Hydraulic System (Bleeding)

After connecting the splitter for the first time and after work has been

performed on the hydraulic rams or valves, the Hydrasplitter will

have to have any trapped air removed before putting it into service.

This is known as “bleeding” the system.

To bleed the system perform the following steps:

1) Keeping the control level in the neutral position leave the

engine running for a few minutes (ensure that the oil reservoir

has been filled first);

2) Speed the engine up to between 1200 rpm and 1400 rpm;

3) Alternatively move the control lever fully from one position

to the other, repeating this a few times;

Check the hydraulic oil level after this procedure, topping up if necessary.

Storage & Protection

So that the Hydrasplitter continues to function efficiently and has a

longer working life, follow these precautions:

Do not twist or kink the hoses;

Empty before storing;

Always use a clean lint-free cloth for cleaning the hydraulic

connections;

Wash thoroughly with hose and remove all residues of gum, etc;

Lower attachment to the ground when not in operation;

Keep in a dry place.

Parts Replacement

The owner must ensure that all replacement of parts and assembly

work is carried out by AgriQuip authorised personnel.

Conversion of, or changes to, the machine will only be permitted

after consultation with AgriQuip.

AgriQuip original spare parts and accessories prolong the useful life

of the Hydrasplitter, ensure correct and efficient operator and do not

compromise safety.

The use of other than AgriQuip original parts invalidates the

warranty.

HYD. VALVE KITS & CARTRIDGES

PLEASE NOTE:

BEFORE REMOVING VALVE SPOOL OR SPOOL SLEEVE REMOVE DETENT

ADJUSTING CARTRIDGE, DETENT PISTON AND STEEL BALL. INSERT SPOOL AND

SPOOL SLEEVE BEFORE INSERTING STEEL BALL. ITEM QTY DESCRIPTION

PRESSURE RELEASE DETENT

This feature provides a pressure release detent for the spool "out" (handle in) position.

When the spool is manually placed in the detent position oil is directed to the 'B' port (the port

away from the handle). When the pressure in the 'B' port reaches a preset level the detent

will release and the spool will centre. The factory setting is 1400 psi. The detent release

pressure is adjustable by loosening the jam nut turning the adjusting screw. Turning the

adjusting screw clockwise will increase the detent release pressure and counterclockwise will

decrease the detent release pressure. NOTE: if the detent release pressure is set too high

the spool will not centre. If the pressure is too low the detent will not hold. If cap screw (#6)

becomes loose detent will not function properly.

RELIEF VALVE

An adjustable ball spring relief valve is standard on all Hydrasplitter hydraulic valves. The

standard factory setting is 2250 psi @ 3 gpm and 120°F.

Other settings can be specified.

The relief pressure is adjusted by removing acorn nut, and turning the adjusting screw.

Turning the adjusting screw clockwise will increase the pressure and counterclockwise will

decrease the pressure (a pressure gauge must be installed in the inlet line whenever the

relief pressure is adjusted). Do not back out adjusting screw to the point it falls out.

WARNING: OVERPRESSURE MAY CAUSE SUDDEN AND UNEXPECTED

FAILURE OF A COMPONENT IN THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM RESULTING

IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY. ALWAYS USE A GAUGE WHEN

ADJUSTING RELIEF VALVE.
