Hydraulic Fluid; Beam And Splitting Wedge - Honda BE-LS22TL6505GO Operation Manual

HYDRAULIC FLUID

Check the hydraulic fluid level in the log splitter reservoir tank before
each use. Maintain the fluid level within the range specified on the
dipstick at all times.
Change the hydraulic fluid in the reservoir every 100 hours of operation.
The filter should also be changed with each hydraulic fluid change.
Follow the steps below:
1. Place a suitable oil collection container under the tank.
2. Disconnect the oil drain screw from the bottom of the reservoir tank.
3. Allow the fluid to drain into the container.
5. After draining, screw on the oil drain screw and tighten.
6. Refill the reservoir tank.
7. Maintain the fluid level within the range specified on the dipstick at all
times.
• When checking the fluid, always make sure to tighten the dipstick
until the top of the threads are flush with the top of the pipe.
• Always dispose of any used hydraulic fluid and engine oil at approved
recycling centers only. Contaminants in the fluid may damage the
hydraulic components. Flushing the reservoir tank and hoses with
kerosene whenever service is performed on the tank, hydraulic pump
or valve is recommended.
