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, mufer, 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 mufer areas.
Avoid contact with hot mufer.
Debris on moving parts can cause excess wear. Clear
debris from the slide beam, wedge, and end plate.
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 at, 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.
Completely install the dipstick when checking oil
level.
Never remove the hydraulic oil dipstick when the
engine is running or hot. Hot oil can escape causing
severe burns. Allow the log splitter to cool completely
before removing the hydraulic oil dipstick.
