ASYN. MOTORS INSTRUCTION FOR OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

POST
OPERATION
AND
MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONS
At the end of each day’s work the unit should be cleaned.
The removal of wood chips etc from the unit is advisable as
well as removing contaminated grease for the wedge collar.
Sharpen the wedge as and when required, this can be done
with a file. Check for any loose bolts or other damage at
regular intervals. If the log splitter is going to be stored then
this should be upright in a dry location.
Hydraulic System
Periodically check the hydraulic oil level with the gauge on
the side of the unit, top up if required.
Check also for oil leaks, worn
hoses and loose fittings.
Please note that the pressure
within the hydraulic system
can exceed 2000 pounds per
square inch (psi). Reinforced
hoses develop pinhole leaks
and hydraulic connections can
vibrate loose.
Hydraulic leaks may be hard to see. Never check for these
leaks with your hand. The high pressure can inject oil
droplets under your skin. Oil injected under your skin is a
medical emergency and will require immediate medical
care. When checking hoses and fittings these can become
very hot from heavy use.
