Maintenance
m
WARNING!
Periodically apply a light coat of
rustresistant oil, such as 3-in-1 oil or WD-40, to the springs to
keep them in proper working order.
• Periodically check all fasteners for tightness.
• Annually clean and lightly lubricate parts.
• Use a glossy enamel spray paint to touch up scratched or
worn painted metal surfaces.
• Never exceed the load capacity rating of 10 tons; doing so
will damage the log splitter and void the manufacturer's
warranty.
IMPORTANT!
If a part needs replacement, only use parts
that are specifically recommended by the manufactuter.
Replacement parts that do not meet these specifications
may result in a safety hazard, may compromise the tool's
performance, and will void the manufacturer's warranty.
