Before performing maintenance, the log splitter must be placed in maintenance mode.
1.) Turn off engine.
2.) Move the control valve handle forward and backward to relieve hydraulic pressure.
After performing maintenance, make sure all guards, shields and safety features are put back
in place. Failure to follow this warning can result in serious injury.
Refer to the engine owner’s manual for engine maintenance.
What When How
Hoses Each Use Inspect for exposed wire mesh and leaks. Replace
all worn or damaged hoses before starting engine
Hydraulic Fittings Each Use Inspect for cracks and leaks. Replace all damaged
fittings before starting engine
Nuts and Bolts Each Use Check for loose bolts
Beam Each Use Apply grease to beam surface
Moving Parts Each Use Clear debris
CAUTION
Residual Hydraulic Energy
Residual energy must be released from the pressurized hydraulic fluid before any maintenance or
repair work is done on the Log Splitter. Hydraulic fluid can remain highly pressurized even
while the processor's Engine is off. Escaping pressurized hydraulic fluid can penetrate skin and
cause serious injury.
To release residual hydraulic energy:
1. Shut off Engine
2. Move control valves back and forth, from one limit of travel to the other, at least four times.
3. Hold valve for three seconds at each limit of travel.
WARNING
Skin injection hazard.
High pressure fluid can inject under skin resulting in
serious injury including amputation.
-Make sure all fittings are tight before applying
pressure. Relieve system pressure before
servicing.
-Do not check for leaks with hand. Instead, use a piece
of cardboard to check for leaks.
-If skin injection happens, seek immediate
“Surgical Treatment”.
