RAIL MAINTENANCE
Between each use of the LOG SPLITTER, we recommend
removing any debris caught on the Rail or Ram and applying
a rust preventative (Fluid Film or equivalent) to any bare
metal areas on the top of the Rail (Fig. 10). This will assure
the smoothest return action of the Ram.

Before performing any maintenance procedure or
inspection, stop the electric motor, wait five minutes to
allow all parts to cool. Disconnect the power cord from
the source of Electricity.
WARNING!
All Bearings of your Splitter are sealed units and should
have sufficient lubricant to last the life of your machine
with normal use.

REPLACING HYDRAULIC OIL
REPLACING HYDRAULIC OIL
Replace the hydraulic oil in the log splitter after every 150 hours of use. Take
the following steps to replace the oil:
1. Make sure all moving parts are stopped and the log splitter is unplugged.
2. Unscrew the oil drain bolt.
3. Turn the log splitter onto the support leg side and hold over a 3 litre
container to drain the oil into.
4. Turn the log splitter vertically to stand on its end with the motor underneath
and the operating handles uppermost.
5. Fill with fresh hydraulic oil. As stated in the Specifications Table on
page 5 the correct oil capacity is 2.9L.
6. Clean the surface of the dipstick, which is attached to the oil drain bolt,
with a clean lint free cloth and put back into the tank to check the new level.
Make sure the level of the refilled oil is just between the two grooves around
the dipstick.
7. Clean the oil drain bolt before screwing it back. Make sure it is tightened to
avoid leakage before placing the log splitter horizontally.
Periodically check the oil level to ensure it is between the
two grooves on the dipstick. Refill when the oil reaches
the lower level.
NOTICE
Use hydraulic oilI SO VG 22.
The following hydraulic oils or equivalent are recommended for the log splitter’s hydraulic transmission
system:
- SHELL Tellus 22
