Lubrication

To help keep the MTD log splitter in proper running order, MTD recommends the following maintenance intervals
be used (adjustable to local conditions).
.

Beam and wedge

The beam and wedge should be cleaned and oiled every time the log splitter is used. To clean the beam and
wedge:
1.
Brush all dirt and debris out of the log dislodger.
2.
Brush all dirt and debris off of the beam and from under the wedge.
NOTE: Any debris trapped under the wedge can prevent the wedge from moving freely up and down the
beam. This can result in failure of the wedge and damage the beam.
3.
Put a small amount of engine oil on a shop rag or a paper towel.
4.
Wipe the beam down with the oiled rag so that there is a light coat of oil on the beam.
