Splitter Mechanism
Hydraulic Fluid
Check the hydraulic fluid level in the log splitter
reservoir tank before each use. Fluid level should
14
be 1.5" to 2" from the top of the tank (four gallons
approximately).
•
Change the hydraulic fluid in the reservoir every
100 hours of operation.
•
Disconnect the suction hose from the bottom of
the reservoir tank, and drain the fluid into a
suitable container.
•
Refill using only Dexron III automatic
transmission fluid or 10W non-foaming hydraulic
fluid. Also change the hydraulic filter.
NOTE: Drain the fluid and flush the reservoir tank and
hoses with kerosene whenever any repair work is
performed on the tank, hydraulic pump or valve.
Contaminants in the fluid will damage the hydraulic
components (should be performed by your Sears
service center).
Hydraulic Filter
•
Change the hydraulic filter every 50 hours of
operation. Use only a 10 micron hydraulic filter.
Hose Clamps
Check the hose clamps on the suction hose
(attached to the side of the pump) for proper
tightness before each use.
Check the hose clamps on the return hose at
least once a season.
