Refer to the Components drawing and parts list should it become necessary to disassemble the unit for
repair or replacement of parts.
NOTE:
a)
Ensure the power cable is unplugged while performing any maintenance and repair.
b) The hydraulic system is preset at the factory. Don ’ t adjust the valve.
c) Never alter this machine in any manner under any circumstances. Any alteration circumventing the design
capabilities and capacities of this machine could result in serious injury and will void the warranty.
d) Replace all damaged and worn parts immediately with original equipment and manufacturer ’ s parts
only.
e) Wipe unit with an oiled rag to prevent rust. If the wedge becomes dull or nicked, it can be sharpened.
Wear safety gloves while handling the wedge.
f) Never check for leaks of hydraulic fluid with your hand. Escaping fluid under pressure can have sufficient
force to penetrate skin causing serious personal injury or even death. Leaks can be detected by passing a
piece of cardboard over the suspected leak and looking for discoloration.
g) Never loosen or remove hydraulic fittings or the cap of hydraulic tank while the log splitter is running.
h) If the motor i s overload for a long time, the thermal protector in it which operating temperature is
1 30 ° C will disconnect the power of motor. Switch off and unplug the power cable, cool down the motor for
half an hour and it will connect again for continual operation. If not, i t ’ s necessary for you to call your dealer
for customer support.
i)
The troubles of hydraulic system and motor other than described above should only be handled by
qualified specialists.
j) Periodically check the oil level in the hydraulic reservoir. If there ’ s a slow or erratic ram running during
operation, it indicates the problem of oil shortage or excessive air in the reservoir. T o solve this problem,
please refer to the following Term 5. l).
k) After each season use, check if the hydraulic oil need to change. Generally, this log splitter has oil filter in
the tank, so just change the oil when there ’ s abnormal louder noise or ram block during operation. T o solve
this problem, please refer to the following T erm 5. l).

Deposit the hydraulic fluid for refilling or change
new hydraulic oil (10W AW hydraulic fluid or Dexron Ⅲ

Refill the tank at least the range marked on the
dipstick. If the tank permits, more oil added will do
good to the hydraulic system for better operation.
•
After refilling, insert and tighten the dipstick.
