Replacing the Hydraulic Oil

After every 150 hours of use, the hydraulic oil needs to  

be replaced. The following hydraulic oils or equivalent  

are recommend for the log splitter’s hydraulic 

 transmission system.

•  SHELL Tellus 22
•  MOBIL DTE 11
•  ARAL Vitam GF 22
•  BP Energol HLP-HM 22

To replace the hydraulic oil, follow the instructions below.

1. 

Turn off and unplug the log splitter. Make sure all moving 

parts have come to a complete stop. 

2.  Unscrew to remove the oil drain bolt with dipstick (Fig. 7).
 

3.  Turn the log splitter and let it stand on the supporting leg 

to drain the hydraulic oil off (Fig. 8).

4.  Turn the log splitter and let it stand on the rear wheels, 

and refill the hydraulic oil into the hole behind the oil drain 

bolt with dipstick (Fig. 9).

5.  Clean the oil drain bolt before thread them back. Make 

sure it is tightened to avoid leakage before place the log 

splitter horizontally.
