BEFORE USE

BLEEDING THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM

Before operating the log buster, the 
Bleed Screw should be loosened by 
2-3 turns until air can go in and out of 
the oil tank smoothly.

• Air flow through the Bleed 

Screw hole should be 
detectable when the log 
buster is in operation.

Before moving the log buster, make 
sure the Bleed Screw is tightened to 
avoid oil leaking from this point.

POSITIONING THE LOGS

• Always place the logs on the log retaining plates.

• Make sure the logs do not twist, rock or slip while being split. 

• Do not force the log buster by 

splitting the log on the upper 
part of the wedge. This will 
break the wedge or damage 
the machine.

• Break log in the direction of its 

grain. 

• Do not place the log across the 

log buster for splitting. It may be 
dangerous and may seriously 
damage the machine. 

• Do not attempt to split 2 logs at the same time. One of them may fly 

up and hit you.

WARNING: FAILURE TO DO THIS WILL CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE 
LOG BUSTER.
