Sealey LS370H.V2 - Maintenance; 5.3. Freeing a Jammed Log (Fig.17); 6.1. Replacing Hydraulic Oil; 6.2. Oil Level

 WARNING! If you are not able to split the log, this means that its hardness exceeds the capacity of the machine and thus that log
should be discarded to protect the log splitter.
8 DO NOT force the blade by splitting the log on
the upper part. This will break the blade or
damage the machine (g.16).
9 Break log in the direction of its growing grain.
8 DO NOT place log across the log splitter for
splitting. It may be dangerous and may seriously
damage the machine.
8 DO NOT attempt to split 2 pieces of log at the same
time. One of them may y up and hit you.
▲ DANGER! Keep your hands away from splitting
area, live area and heating area while working!
(g.15).
5.3. FREEING A JAMMED LOG (FIG.17)
8 DO NOT try to knock the jammed log off. Knocking about will damage the machine or may launch the log and cause an accident.
5.3.1. Release both controls.
5.3.2. After the log pusher moves back and completely stops at its starting position, insert a wedge wood under the jammed log (g.18).
5.3.3. Start the log splitter to push the wedge wood to go completely under the jammed one (g.19).
5.3.4. Repeat above procedure with sharper slope wedge woods until the log is completely freed.
6. MAINTENANCE
6.1. REPLACING HYDRAULIC OIL
Replace the Hydraulic oil in the log splitter after every 150 hours of use with a good quality oil such as Sealey HJO5LS. Take the
following steps to replace it.
 WARNING! Make sure all moving parts stop and the log splitter is unplugged.
6.1.1. Unscrew Oil Drain Bolt with Dipstick to remove it (g.20).
6.1.2. Turn the log splitter on the Support Leg side over a 4 litres capacity container to drain the hydraulic oil off (g.21).
6.1.3. Turn the log splitter on the motor side.
6.1.4. Rell fresh hydraulic oil at the volume as per the hydraulic oil capacity of particular model (g.22).
6.1.5. Clean the surface of Dipstick on the Oil Drain Bolt and put it back into the oil tank while keeping the log splitter vertical (g.22).
6.1.6. Make sure the level of the relled oil is just between 2 grooves around the Dipstick (g.23).
6.1.7. Clean the Oil Drain Bolt before threading them back. Make sure they are tightened to avoid leakage before placing the log splitter
horizontally.
6.2. OIL LEVEL
6.2.1. Use a drain pan to aid in the removal of all used oil and particles (g.21). Remove oil drain plug (g.20) to drain oil from the hydraulic
transmission system. Examine oil for metal chips as a precaution to future problems.
6.3. SHARPENING WEDGE
6.3.1. This log splitter is equipped with a reinforced splitting wedge, which has a blade which is specially treated. After long periods of
operation, and when required; sharpen the wedge using a ne-toothed le removing any burrs or at spots on the edge.
