What to do if Homelite UT49102 Log Splitter has oil leaks around cylinder ram?
If you notice oil leaks around the cylinder ram or from other points on your Homelite Log Splitter, it could be due to several reasons. It's possible that air is sealed in the hydraulic system during operation; in this case, loosen the bleed screw by 3-4 rotations before operating the log splitter. Ensure the bleed screw is tightened before moving the log splitter. Also, check if the oil drain bolt is tight and tighten it if necessary. If the hydraulic control valve assembly and/or seals are worn, contact the dealer.
Why Homelite UT49102 Log Splitter log mover jerks and vibrates?
If the log mover on your Homelite Log Splitter jerks and vibrates, it may be due to a lack of hydraulic oil and excessive air in the hydraulic system. Check the oil level and refill if necessary. Contact the dealer for further assistance.
What to do if my Homelite UT49102 Log Splitter won't split logs?
If your Homelite Log Splitter won't split logs, several factors could be the cause. First, ensure the log is correctly positioned according to the Operation section guidelines. If the log's size or hardness exceeds the machine’s capacity, reduce the log size. Check if the wedge cutting edge is blunt and needs sharpening, referring to the Maintenance section for instructions. Also, inspect for oil leaks; if found, contact the dealer. Finally, verify that no unauthorized adjustments have been made to the Maximum Pressure Limiting Screw, as this could lower the maximum pressure rating, and in this case, contact the dealer.
