13. Bleed Screw
14. Oil Drain Bolt w/ Dipstick
15. Max Pressure Limiting Screw
Before operating the log splitter, the Bleed Screw should be loosened by a few rotations until air can go in and out of the oil
tank smoothly. Air flow through the Bleed Screw hole should be detectable while the log splitter is under operation.
Before moving the log splitter, make sure the Bleed Screw is tightened to avoid oil leaking from this point.
FAILURE TO LOOSEN THE BLEED SCREW WILL KEEP THE SEALED AIR IN HYDRAULIC SYSTEM BEING
COMPRESSED AFTER BEING DECOMPRESSED. SUCH CONTINUOUS AIR COMPRESSION AND
DECOMPRESSION WILL BLOW OUT THE SEALS OF THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM AND CAUSE PERMANT
DAMAGE TO THE LOG SPLITTER.
DO NOT ADJUST THE MAX PRESSURE LIMITING SCREW!
Max pressure was set by the manufacturer and the max pressure
limiting screw is sealed with glue to ensure the log splitter works
under pressure no more than 4 tons. This setting was done by a
qualified mechanic with professional instruments.
UNAUTHORIZED RESETTING WILL VOID THE WARRANTY AND CAUSE
THE HYDRAULIC PUMP TO FAIL, RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY AS WELL
AS DAMAGE TO THE MACHINE
