MAINTENANCE & STORAGE
REPLACING THE HYDRAULIC OIL
The hydraulic system is a closed system with an oil tank, oil pump and control valve. Check the oil level
regularly with the dipstick. Low oil levels can damage the oil pump, check the dipstick which is built
into the air breather, the oil level should be between the two marks, approx. 1 ~ 2cm lower than the
upper surface of the oil tank.
The oil should be completely changed once a year.
Make sure moving parts stop and the log splitter is unplugged. Make sure that no dirt or debris finds
its way into the oil tank. Collect used oil and responsibly recycle. Following an oil change, activate
the log splitter a few times without actually splitting.
We recommend Handy Logsplitter Oil (5 litres WPL113).
Alternatively, you can use the following or equivalent:
SHELL Tellus 22
MOBIL DTE 11
ARAL Vitam GF 22
BP Energol HLP-HM 22
SHARPENING WEDGE
This log splitter is equipped with a reinforced splitting wedge. The blade is specially treated. After
long periods of operation, and when required; sharpen the wedge using a fine-toothed file removing
any burrs or flat spots on the edge.
STORAGE
When not in use, the machine should be stored in a dry location. Keep the machine away from
children and others not qualified to use it. Avoid direct sunlight.
Do not store anything above or near the machine, where anyone might stand on the machine to
reach them.
