Bleed the air out of the hydraulic system before starting the log splitter. The bleed screw of the hydraulic oil tank should
be loosened by three rotations until air can go in and out of the oil tank smoothly. Air flow through the oil tank filler
should be detectable during the operation of the log splitter. Before moving the log splitter, make sure the bleed screw
is tightened to avoid oil leaking from this point.
THE FAILURE TO LOOSEN THE BLEED SCREW WILL RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE SEALS OF THE
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM AND CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE LOG SPLITTER.
LOG SPLITTER OPERATION
This log splitter is equipped with a control system that requires it to be operated by both hands of the user - Left hand controls the
hydraulic control lever (A) while right hand controls the motor control switch (B). The log splitter will stop upon absence of either
hand. Only after both hands release the controls, will the log pusher start to return backward to the starting position.
