Troubleshooting

The following section details procedures for checking your log splitter, should you
encounter a malfunction.  We recommend that you do not attempt to make repairs to the
log splitter.  In the long run, it is better to take your log splitter to a servicing lawn and gar-
den dealer for repairs.

Problem:

When the control handle is pushed forward (extend), the splitting pusher plate
does not move.

1

. Check the hydraulic tank to make sure the oil level is one inch from the top

of the tank.

2

. Remove the pump from the engine flange.  Check the coupler, making

sure the drive keys are in place and there is no damage to the blue ure-
thane spider.

3

. Disconnect the pusher plate from the cylinder.  Grasp the hydraulic cylin-

der shaft and try to pull it out.  If the rod comes out easily, you will need to
rebuild or replace the cylinder.

4

. Once you have determined that the engine-to-pump coupler is intact and

the cylinder is in good condition, you will need to replace the pump.

Problem: 

The engine stalls when the pusher plate engages the wood.

1

. The engine may not be properly adjusted.  Take the engine to a service

center for repair and/or adjustment.

2

. If all engine settings are correct, replace the pump.

Problem:

The pusher plate moves slowly, but will split wood.

1

. Check the oil level in the hydraulic tank and fill if necessary.

2

. Check the high-pressure hose, fittings, and valve openings for dirt and

debris that may have obstructed the openings.

3

. If the ram speed is still slow, replace the pump.

Problem:

The ram will not automatically retract.

1

. Check the slide rail or pusher plate for damage.

2

. Push the valve handle to the retract position.  If the handle will not stay in

this position, adjust valve detent, as described below.

Detent Adjustment Procedure

a

. Locate adjustment screw on lower side of valve body.

b

. Loosen locknuts.

c

. Turn adjustment screw clockwise one-half turn and retighten locknuts.

d

. Start the engine and test for detent operation.  If detent does not work,

repeat Steps b and c.

3

. If adjustment of detent does not correct the problem, replace the valve

assembly.

Problem:

Oil squirts from the fill plug during operation.

1

. The oil tank may be over-filled.  Drain oil to 1 inch below the top of the tank.

2

. The log splitter is not level.  Make sure the log splitter is on level ground.
