Before Each Use – Inspection/Maintenance

Step One: Inspect and maintain log splitter before each use

If the log splitter has been used previously, it must be inspected and maintained BEFORE EACH SUBSEQUENT USE.

WARNING

ALWAYS shut off the engine, disconnect the spark plug, and relieve system pressure before
inspecting, cleaning, adjusting, or repairing the splitter. Relieve system pressure by moving Split
Control Lever back and forth several times.

IMPORTANT:

If a part needs replacement, only use parts that meet the manufacturer's specifications. Replacement parts that do not meet
specifications may result in a safety hazard or poor operation of the log splitter.

1. Engine Off /

Relieve Pressure

Perform all inspections/repairs with the engine off and hydraulic system pressure relieved.

1.

Make sure engine is off and cool.

2.

Disconnect the spark plug.

3.

Relieve all hydraulic system pressure by moving the Split Control Lever back and forth
several times.

2. Remove Debris

Remove debris from engine, muffler, and moving parts.

1.

Engine debris:

Debris on a hot engine can be a fire hazard. Clean debris and chaff from

engine cylinder head, cylinder head fins, fan housing/recoil starter, and muffler areas.
Avoid contact with hot muffler.

2.

Other debris: Debris on moving parts can cause excess wear. Clear debris from the
beam, wedge, log dislodger, and endplate.

3. Fuel Tank / Lines Check fuel tank and fuel lines for leaks.

Any fuel leak is a fire hazard. Fix any fuel leaks before starting engine.

4. Mechanical Parts Check to be sure that all nuts and bolts are tight

to ensure the log splitter is in safe working

condition.

Apply grease to beam where the wedge travels.
NOTE: Does not apply to Duro-Glide model. Do
not apply grease to Duro-Glide model. On the
Duro-Glide, inspect condition of wear pads.

Apply grease to the top of the beam

and underneath the edge of the beam,

where the wear pads travel.

Check condition of the wear pads by measuring dimensions A

and B from the diagram with a feeler gauge. If any of these

dimensions are within .005” replace the wear pads. Shift any

play in the wedge to achieve the lowest reading.
