Inspection and Maintenance
WARNING
To prevent a fire hazard or possible explosion which could result
in serious injury, do not smoke or have open flames when
checking the hydraulic oil. Take care not to spill oil. If oil should
spill, quickly wipe up the spill and move the log splitter away from the area. Make
sure oil-soaked rags are properly disposed of.
2 . Remove the screw from the side of the oil
tank. If a small amount of oil does not run
from oil level hole (L), the oil level is low.
3 . Remove the fill cap and SLOWLY pour oil
into fitting (K) until it runs from oil level
hole (L). Allow enough time for excess oil
to drain from the oil level hole.
4 . Install the screw and fill cap (do not over
tighten) making sure O-rings are in place.
Clean up any spilled oil and dispose of
oil-soaked rags properly.
Inspection
WARNING
Do not check for high pressure oil leaks with your hand. Leaks can be
located by passing a piece of cardboard or wood around the suspected
leak and looking for discoloration. High-pressure fluid escaping from a
very small hole can be almost invisible. Escaping fluid under pressure
can have sufficient force to penetrate skin, causing serious injury or
even death. If fluid is injected into your skin, it must be treated
immediately by a doctor familiar with this type of injury.
