Understanding the hydraulic flow

It starts at the reservoir (tank). See Figure 3.2.
• The tank acts as the axle of the log splitter.
• Check the level of the hydraulic fluid, and add
hydraulic fluid through the oil fill port.
• The tank is vented by a passage drilled through
the pipe plug. See Figure 3.2.
• The outlet on the engine side of the tank feeds
hydraulic fluid directly to the pump.
See Figure 3.3.
• The filter housing mounted on the tank provides
a return path to the tank.
