      Slow or erratic wedge movement in your Bushranger Log Splitter can be due to several reasons. There might be air in the hydraulic oil system; purge it by extending and retracting the wedge multiple times until the motion is smooth. Debris could be lodged in the beam guides; clear any debris from the beam. Also, check the hydraulic oil level and add more if it is low.

      If the control valve handle on your Bushranger Log Splitter does not return to neutral when released, it could be due to several reasons: the hydraulic oil might be too cold, so try warming up the engine. Alternatively, the hydraulic oil might be too thick or contaminated, in which case you should replace the hydraulic fluid.
