Maintaining Proper Oil Level
NOTE: As with all hydraulic equiptment, a
certain amount of oil seepage is common. Do
not be alarmed if this is noticed. This oil assures
that the ram and other components are properly
lubricated during operation and storage. Always
check oil level before using splitter.
