MAINTENANCE
Inspect and maintain the log splitter before each use. If the log splitter has
been used previously, it must be inspected and maintained before each
subsequent use.
Always shut off the engine and relieve system pressure before inspecting,
cleaning, adjusting, or repairing the splitter. Relieve system pressure by
moving the split control lever back and forth several times.
Remove debris from the engine, muffler, and moving parts. Debris on a hot
engine can be a re hazard. Clean debris and chaff from the engine cylinder
head, cylinder head ns, blower housing rotating screen, and muffler areas.
Use a drain pan to aid in the removal of all used oil and particles.
Remove oil drain plug to drain oil from the hydraulic transmission system.
Examine oil for metal chips as a precaution to future problems.
After oil has been completely drained from the machine, reinstall drain plug.
OIL DRAINING
ADD HYDRAULIC OIL TO OIL TANK
1. Make sure the log splitter is on a flat, level surface.
2. Remove the oil dipstick from the oil tank.
3. The recommended hydraulic oil type:
10W AW32
ASLE H-150
ISO 32
5. Start the engine and use the control valve handle to extend and retract the
wedge ve times to remove air from the high pressure lines.
6. With the wedge retracted and engine off, check the oil level again. Fill if
necessary.
7. Cycle the cylinder again until it has a constant speed. This indicates that
all air has been expelled.
4. Make sure the hydraulic oil level reaches the upper line of the dipstick.
