Changing the Oil Filter
This log splitter is provided with an oil filter to guarantee that the oil will be kept
clean over a longer period. After the life of the filter has expired, proceed as follows
to replace it:
• Empty the oil tank.
• Slacken pipe coupling (A) and remove pipe (B).
• Take off connecting piece (C) containing oil filter (D).
• Remove the used oil filter and properly dispose of it.
Screw a new filter into the connecting piece. Once the filter touches the filter head, add
another ¾ of a turn. Only hand-tighten the filter.

surface you have treated be moistened with some oil or other lubricant.
