Troubleshooting
The following section will detail procedures for checking your log splitter, should you
encounter a malfunction. Brave recommends that you do not attempt to make repairs
to the log splitter. In the long run, it is better to take your log splitter to a servicing lawn
and garden dealer for repairs.
Problem:
When the control handle is pushed forward (extend), the splitting wedge does
not move.
1
. Check the hydraulic tank to make sure the oil level is one inch from the top
of the tank.
2
. Remove the pump from the engine flange. Check the coupler, making
sure the drive keys are in place and there is no damage to the blue
urethane spider.
3
. Disconnect the splitting wedge from the cylinder. Grasp the hydraulic
cylinder shaft and try to pull it out. If the rod comes out easily, you will
need to rebuild or replace the cylinder.
4
. Once you have determined that the engine-to-pump coupler is intact and
the cylinder is in good condition, you will need to replace the pump.
Problem:
The engine stalls when the splitting wedge engages the wood.
1
. The engine may not be properly adjusted. Take the engine to a service
center for repair and/or adjustment.
2
. If all engine settings are correct, replace the pump.
Problem:
The splitting wedge moves slowly, but will split wood.
1
. Check the oil level in the hydraulic tank and fill if necessary.
2
. Check the high-pressure hose, fittings, and valve openings for dirt and
debris that may have obstructed the openings.
3
. If the ram speed is still slow, replace the pump.
Problem:
The ram will not automatically retract.
1
. Check the slide rail or splitting wedge for damage.
2
. Push the valve handle to the retract position. If the handle will not stay in
this position, replace the valve assembly.
Problem:
Oil squirts from the fill plug during operation.
1
. The oil tank may be over-filled. Drain oil to 1 inch below the top of the tank.
2
. The log splitter is not level. Make sure the log splitter is on level ground.
