What to do if the Brute Log Splitter's cylinder rod speed is slow?
- JJustin ChenAug 11, 2025
If the cylinder rod speed is slow when extending or retracting, there could be several reasons. First, check the oil level in the reservoir, as there might be insufficient oil or air in the oil. Next, inspect the pump inlet hose for any blockages or kinks that could be causing excessive pump inlet vacuum. If these steps don't resolve the issue, the control valve or cylinder might be damaged internally, requiring authorized repair. Also, consider adjusting the idle control nuts, as the engine control might be out of adjustment.
