Before operating the log splitter, the Bleed Screw
should be loosened by some rotations until air can go
in and out of the oil tank smoothly.
Air flow thru the Bleed Screw hole should be
detectable when the log splitter is in operation.
Before moving the log splitter, make sure the Bleed
Screw is tightened to avoid oil leaking from this point.
Failure to loosen the bleed screw will keep the sealed air in
hydraulic system being compressed after being decompressed.
Such continuous air compression and decompression will blow
out the seals of the hydraulic system and cause permanent
damage to the log splitter.
