Why is my Cotech LS5T-52 Log Splitter not splitting logs properly?
- E
  Eric ParrishAug 6, 2025
  If your Cotech Log Splitter is experiencing unsuccessful splitting, there are several possible causes. First, ensure the log is correctly placed; try turning or rotating it. If the log's hardness or diameter is too great, decrease its diameter or length before attempting to split it. Also, check the splitter itself; if it's blunt or damaged, sharpen it according to the maintenance instructions. Finally, inspect for oil leakage and have a qualified technician repair any leaks, topping up the oil as needed. A wrongly adjusted pressure regulator can also be the cause and should be inspected and repaired by a qualified technician with access to testing equipment.

Why does the pressure plate on my Cotech Log Splitter move abruptly?

  Catherine AtkinsonAug 22, 2025
  If the pressure plate of your Cotech Log Splitter moves abruptly with a jarring sound and strong vibrations, it may be due to low oil pressure or air in the system. Check the oil level and, if required, top up the oil or repair any leakage.
