Add Engine Oil
CAUTiON
DO NOT attempt to crank or start the engine before it has been
properly filled with the recommended type and amount of oil.
Damage to the engine as a result of failure to follow these
instructions will void your warranty.
NOTiCE
The recommended oil type is
10W-30 automotive oil
.
1. Place the log splitter on a flat, level surface.
2. Remove oil fill cap/dipstick to add oil.
3. Using a funnel, add up to 37.2 fl. oz. (1.1 L) of oil and replace
oil fill cap/dipstick. DO NOT OVERFILL.
4. Check engine oil level daily and add as needed.
MAX
MIN
OIL DIP STICK
NOTiCE
Once oil has been added, a visual check should show oil about
1-2 threads from running out of the fill hole.
If using the dipstick to check oil level, DO NOT screw in the
dipstick while checking.
NOTiCE
Check oil often during the break-in period. Refer to the
Maintenance section for recommended service intervals.
CAUTiON
The engine is equipped with a low oil shut-off and will stop
when the oil level in the crankcase falls below the threshold
level.
NOTiCE
We consider the first 5 hours of run time to be the break-
in period for the engine. During the break in period we
recommend using standard automotive non-synthetic blended
oils. After the break in period synthetic lubricant can be used
but is not required. Adjusting throttle setting will increase/
decrease engine speed helping to seat piston rings. Avoid
bogging or lugging the engine down and avoid prolonged
running at constant RPM. After the 5 hour break-in period,
change the oil. Using synthetic lubricants does not increase
the recommended oil change interval.
NOTiCE
Synthetic oil may be used after the 5 hour initial break-in
period. Using synthetic oil does not increase the recommended
oil change interval. Full synthetic 5W-30 oil will aid in starting
in cold ambient < 41º F (5º C).
