Checking Hydraulic Oil Level
1) Make sure the power cord is unplug from the power source.
2) Make sure the bleed screw (A) Fig.9 is tightened (closed).
3) Position the log splitter as shown in Fig.9.
4) Loosen and remove the drain bolt/dipstick assembly (B).
5) Wipe the oil off the dipstick, reinsert the drain bolt/dipstick assembly and
then pull it out again.
6) Check the oil level. The oil level should be between the 2 notches (C) near
the end of the dipstick. Add oil, if needed.
7) Reinstall the drain bolt/dipstick assembly.
Replacing Hydraulic Oil (Grade 22)
Replace the hydraulic oil in the log splitter after every 150 hours of use.
Follow these instructions to replace the hydraulic oil;
1) Make sure all moving parts stop and unplug the power cord from the
power source.
2) Unscrew and remove the drain bolt/dipstick assembly (A) Fig.10.
3) Place a container (B) with a capacity of approx. 4 litres on the floor to
drain out the hydraulic oil. Lift and hold the log splitter as shown in Fig.10.
4) Once the oil is drained, reposition the log splitter as shown in Fig.9 and
refill with fresh hydraulic oil (3.2L).
5) Clean the surface of the dipstick on the drain bolt/dipstick and put it back
into the oil tank while keeping the log splitter vertical.
6) Make sure the level of the refilled oil is just between two grooves (C) Fig.10 around the dipstick.
7) Clean the oil drain bolt before you screw it back in. Make sure that it is tight to avoid leakage before placing the log splitter horizontally.
Periodically check the oil level to ensure it is between two grooves around the dipstick. Upon lower oil level, oil refilling is required.
Warning: Never mix oil with general waste! Used oil must be disposed of according to current laws in your province.
Sharpening the Wedge
After using the log splitter for an extended period of time, sharpen the wedge of the log splitter using a fine-toothed file and smooth any burrs or
dented areas along the cutting edge.
