SET UP & PREPARATION FOR OPERATION
1. Place the logsplitter on a stable, flat and level work surface.
2. Familiarise yourself with the controls and features of this logsplitter
mentioned in this manual.
3. Before operating the logsplitter,
the hydraulic Bleed Screw should
be loosened by rotating until air
can go in and out of the oil tank
smoothly. Before moving the
logsplitter, make sure the Bleed
Screw is tightened to avoid oil
leaking from this point.
4. Check the engine oil levels, using
the orange capped oil dipstick. If
the oil level is below 2 grooves
from the bottom of the dipstick
(see diagram on page 15), then
top up the engine oil using
SAE10W/30 engine oil via the
black capped engine oil fill point.
5. Check the engine petrol level via the petrol cap on top of the engine. Fill
the petrol tank with 93+Octane Unleaded Petrol when needed.
WARNING: FAILURE TO LOOSEN THE BLEED SCREW WILL KEEP THE SEALED
AIR IN THE 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 MACHINE.
