REPLACING THE HYDRAULIC OIL
Replace the hydraulic oil in the log splitter after every 150 hours of use.
When replacing the hydraulic oil, it is recommended to use one of the following:
• 10W AW32
• ASLE H-150
• ISO 32
• Check and make sure that all moving parts have
come to a complete stop.
• Turn off the log splitter and unplug it from the power
supply.
• Using the support leg handle, stand the log splitter on
the end with the wheels.
• Unscrew the oil drain bolt with dipstick and remove it.
• Tilt the log splitter onto the support leg over a 4-liter
container in order to drain the hydraulic oil (fig. 11).
WARNING! To avoid possible electric shock, always disconnect the
log splitter from the power supply and tighten the bleed screw before
cleaning, making adjustments, or conducting maintenance work on
the log splitter.

• Using the support leg, tilt the log splitter
back onto the motor side.
• Using a funnel (not provided), refill the
oil tank with the proper volume of fresh
hydraulic oil (fig. 12).
g. Repeat steps b through f for the other logs.
h. When the splitting of all logs is complete
or if the machine will be unattended for any
period of time, unplug the cord from the
power supply (fig. 8).
i. To avoid oil leakage, tighten the bleed screw
when moving the log splitter or when the log
splitter is no longer in use.
4. FREEING A JAMMED LOG
• Release both the switch and the hydraulic control lever.
• After the log pusher moves back to its starting position
and comes to a complete stop, insert a piece of wood
or wood wedge that fits on the splitter behind or under
the jammed log (fig. 9).
• Simultaneously hold down the switch using your right
hand and push the hydraulic control lever down using
your left hand to start the log splitter. The piece of
wood will move forward freeing the jammed log.
• If the log is not freed, repeat this procedure with a
steeper sloped piece of wood until the log is free.
WARNING! Do not try to knock the jammed log off the log splitter
(fig. 10). Doing so will damage the machine or cause the log to fly out
of the splitter which could result in an injury.
f. Stop the log splitter by simultaneously
releasing the hydraulic control lever and
the switch (fig. 7). Wait for the log pusher
to return to its starting position.
