GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are
susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents and
may be damaged by their use. Use clean wipes to remove dirt, dust,
lubricant, grease, etc.
SHARPENING THE WEDGE
After using the log splitter for some time, it may be necessary to sharpen
the wedge. Using a fine-toothed file, smooth any burrs or crushed areas
along the cutting edge.
LUBRICATION
All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient amount
of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit under normal operating
conditions. Therefore, no further lubrication is required on the bearings.
REPLACING HYDRAULIC OIL
The hydraulic oil in the log splitter should be changed every 100 hours of
use.
• Unplug the log splitter.
• Position the log splitter so that the oil drain bolt is positioned lower than
the opposite side of the machine. Ensure that the log splitter is tilted
to an angle of at least 30 degrees. The log splitter should be placed
securely.
• Using a 6mm hex key, remove the oil drain bolt and disconnect the vent
plug.
• Drain the hydraulic oil from the oil tank into a container of no less than
four liter capacity.
• Once the oil has drained from the oil tank, turn the log splitter on the
end with the wheels.
WARNING
• When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Use of any
other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage.
• Only the parts shown on the parts list are intended to be repaired or
replaced by the customer. All other parts should be replaced at an
Authorized Service Center.
WARNING
• Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum- based
products, penetrating lubricants, etc., come in conact with plastic
parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or destroy plastic which may
result in serious personal injury.
