LOG PREPARATION
Logs should be cut with square ends. Never split logs larger than 10
in. diameter or 20-1/2 in. long. Uneven logs (e.g. knotted, curved, etc.)
should not be used.
Oil the wedge and upper side of the machine body. This will allow the log
to move smoothly on the surface.
Always check the oil level before you start the log splitter.
CHECKING THE OIL LEVEL
• Unplug the log splitter, and screw off the control handle lever
• Using the lift handle, stand the log splitter on the wheels end, with a
block under position shield. Do not stand on the control handle, which
will damage the valve core.
• Using a 6mm hex key, remove the oil drain bolt.
• Wipe the dipstick clean then reinsert it back into the oil tank.
• Remove the dipstick and check to see if the oil level is between the first
and second groove on the dipstick.
• If there is not enough oil in the oil tank, add oil until the proper level is
reached.
• If there is the proper amount of oil in the oil tank, wipe the dipstick clean
then replace it in the oil tank and tighten the oil drain bolt securely.
NOTICE
• See “Replacing Hydraulic Oil” in the Maintenance section for
recommended oil type.
