Dette afsnit indeholder løsninger på almindelige driftsproblemer. Kontakt kundesupport, hvis du har problemer, der ikke er nævnt her.
| Problem | Mulig årsag | Løsning |
|---|---|---|
| Motoren starter ikke | Intet brændstof, gammelt brændstof, tændrørsproblem, chokerindstilling. | Kontroller brændstofniveauet, brug frisk brændstof, inspicer/udskift tændrøret, juster chokeren. |
| Loss of splitting force | Low hydraulic fluid, air in hydraulic system, worn pump. | Check hydraulic fluid level, bleed air from system (refer to manual), inspect pump. |
| Ram moves slowly | Low hydraulic fluid, incorrect engine RPM, cold hydraulic fluid. | Check fluid level, ensure engine is at full throttle, allow fluid to warm up. |
| Log jams on wedge | Log too large, knot in log, improper log placement. | Do not force. Reverse ram, reposition log, or split smaller pieces. |
