BLEED SCREW
IMPORTANT
Before operating the log splitter, the Bleed Screw should be loosened a few rotations until air can go in and
out of the oil tank smoothly. Air flow through the Bleed Screw hole should be noticeable while the log
splitter is working. Before moving the log splitter, make sure the Bleed Screw is tightened to avoid oil leaks
.
FAILURE TO LOOSEN THE BLEED SCREW WILL KEEP THE SEALED AIR IN HYDRAULIC
SYSTEM COMPRESSED. SUCH CONTINUOUS AIR COMPRESSION WILL BLOW OUT THE
SEALS OF THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM AND CAN CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE LOG
SPLITTER, WHICH IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE TERMS & CONDITIONS OF THE
MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY.
MAX PRESSURE LIMITING SCREW
DO NOT ADJUST
The max pressure was set by the manufacturer. The max pressure limiting screw is sealed
with glue to ensure the log splitter works under pressure no more than is listed in the specifications.
The setting was made by a qualified mechanic with professional instruments. Unauthorised resetting
will reduce the performance of the hydraulic pump or
RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY AS WELL AS
DAMAGE TO THE MACHINE.
