Splitter when fluid is cold. Operating without sufficient
fluid in the reservoir can badly damage the pump.

2. Use the Lift Handle located on the Front Leg to
raise the Log Splitter to a standing position on the
wheel end of the unit. Be careful not to damage
the Control Handle when standing the tool upright.
3. Remove the Drain Bolt / Dipstick from the fluid
reservoir with a hex key.
4. Wipe off the Drain Bolt / Dipstick and thread
it back into the fluid reservoir. Remove and
check to make sure the fluid level is within
the acceptable range between the two marks
on the Dipstick. Refer to Figure B.

hydraulic fluid (not included) to bring the
level up to the acceptable range.
6. If the fluid level is within the acceptable range,
wipe the Drain Bolt / Dipstick clean and replace
it in the fluid reservoir and tighten securely.
