Cleaning the Log Splitter
Always try to use this log splitter in a cool dry place. If this log splitter becomes dirty, the exterior can be cleaned with a
damp cloth, soft brush, vacuum and/or pressurized air.
Never clean this log splitter with a bucket of water and/or a hose as water can get inside and cause a short circuit or
corrosion.
Never use gasoline to clean parts of this log splitter.
Checking the Oil Level
It is important to check the oil level in the engine crankcase before each use to ensure that there is a sufficient quantity.
To check the oil level:
1. Verify that this log splitter is shut down and on a level surface.
2. Unscrew the oil filler/dipstick cap from the engine.
3. With a dry cloth, wipe the oil off of the dipstick that is located on the inside of the cap.
4. Insert the dipstick as if replacing the cap and then remove again. There should be oil on the dipstick. If there is no oil on
the dipstick, or oil is visible only at the very end of the dipstick, add oil until the engine crankcase is filled.
5. Confirm that the oil filler/dipstick cap is properly in place when finished verifying the oil level.
