  If the cylinder rod on your Rover Log Splitter isn't moving, several issues could be the cause. Check if the shipping plugs are still in the hydraulic hoses; if so, disconnect the hoses, remove the plugs, and reconnect them. Also, the oil level might be incorrect, so check it. Other potential causes, such as a broken drive shaft, improperly adjusted set screws, a loose shaft coupling, damaged gear sections, a damaged relief valve, blocked hydraulic lines, a damaged control valve, or a blocked control valve, require assistance from an authorized service dealer or flushing and cleaning the hydraulic system.

  If the wood splits too slowly or not at all with your Rover Log Splitter, several factors could be responsible. Start by checking the oil level and ensuring it's correct. Also, the oil might be contaminated, in which case you should drain the oil, clean the reservoir, and refill it. Make certain pump inlet hoses are clear and unblocked. Avoid attempting to split wood against the grain. Other potential issues, such as a damaged small gear section, leaking pump check valve, control valve leaking internally, or internally damaged cylinder, require assistance from an authorized service dealer.

  If the control handle on your Rover Log Splitter does not return to neutral when released from the forward position, the hydraulic fluid might be too cold, in which case you should warm up the engine. The hydraulic fluid might also be too thick or contaminated, so replace the hydraulic fluid.
