TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM
PROBABLE
CAUSE REMEDY SUGGESTED
Fails to split logs
Log is improperly positioned.
Refer to ‘Log Splitter Operation’ section for perfect
log loading.
The sizes or hardness of the log exceeds capacity
of the machine.
Reduce the log sizes before splitting it on the log
the splitter.
Wedge cutting edge is blunt
Refer to ‘Sharpening Wedge’ section to sharpen
cutting wedge.
Oil leaks
Locate leak(s) and contact the dealer.
Unauthorized adjustment was made on Max.
Pressure Limiting Screw.
Lower max pressure rating was set.
Contact the dealer.
The log pusher moves jerkily,
making unfamiliar noises and
vibrations
Lack of hydraulic oil and excessive air in the
hydraulic system.
Check oil level for possible oil refilling.
Contact the dealer.
Oil leaks around log splitter or
from other points.
Air sealed In hydraulic system while operating
Loosen Bleed Screw by 3 - 4 rotations before
operating the log splitter.
Bleed Screw was not tightened before moving
cylinder ram or from the log splitter.
Tighten the Bleed Screw up before moving.
Oil Drain Bolt with Dipstick is not tight.
Tighten the Oil Drain Bolt with Dipstick.
Hydraulic Control Valve Assembly and / or seal(s)
worn.
Contact the dealer.

The diameter of the log is indicative— a small log can be difficult to split when it has knobs or a particularly tough fibre. On the
other hand, it may not be difficult to split logs with regular fibres even if its diameter exceeds the max. Figure indicated above.
Important!
Break log in the direction of its growing grain. Do
not place log across the log splitter for splitting.
It may be dangerous and may seriously damage
the machine. Do not attempt to split two pieces
of logs at the same time. One of them may fly up
and hit you.
FREEING A JAMMED LOG
• Release both controls.
• After the log pusher moves back and completely stops at its
starting position, insert a wedge of wood under the jammed
log.
• Start the log splitter to push the wedge further under the
jammed piece lifting it.
• Repeat above procedure with a sharper slope wedge of wood
until the log becomes completely free.
Important!
Do not try to knock the jammed log off.
Knocking about will damage the machine or may
launch the log and cause accident.
REPLACING HYDRAULIC OIL
Replace the Hydraulic oil in the log splitter after every 400 hours of
use. Take following steps to replace it.
• Make sure all moving parts stops and the log splitter is unplugged.
• Unscrew Oil Drain Bolt with Dipstick to remove it.
• Turn the log splitter on the support leg sside over a 8litre
capacity container to drain the hydraulic oil off.
• Turn the log splitter on the motor side.
• Refill fresh hydraulic oil at the volume as per the hydraulic oil
capacity of a particular model indicated in above specifications
table.
• Clean the surface of dipstick on the oil drain bolt and put it
back into the oil tank while keeping the log splitter vertical
• Make sure the level of the refilled oil is just between 2 grooves
around the dipstick.
• Clean the oil drain bolt before threading back. Make it’s
tightened to avoid leakage before placing the log splitter
horizontally.
Important!
Periodically check oil level to ensure it is
between 2 grooves around the Dipstick. Upon
Lower oil level, oil refilling is required.
Following hydraulic oils or equivalent are
recommend for the log splitter’s hydraulic
transmission system:
Any hydraulic fluid sold from a hardware or
automotive supply stores. For example:
SHELL Tellus 22.
MOBIL DTE 11
ARAL Vitam GF 22
BP Energol HLP-HM 22
SHARPENING THE WEDGE
After using the log splitters for some time, sharpen the wedge of
the log splitter using a fine-toothed file and smooth any burrs or
crushed area along the cutting edge.
