Add Hydraulic Oil
1 . Make sure the log splitter is on a flat, level surface .
2 . Remove the oil plug from the oil tank . (A)
3 . Add 18 .9 L (5 gal .) of hydraulic oil - 10W AW32, ASLE

Oil level should visibly fill the glass sight . (B)
5 . Replace and tighten the oil plug and orient the vent
hole away from the operator zone .
DO NOT remove the hydraulic oil fill cap when the engine
is running or hot . Hot oil can escape causing severe
burns . Always allow the log splitter to cool completely
before removing the hydraulic oil cap .
High fluid pressure and temperatures are created in the
hydraulic log splitters . Hydraulic fluid will escape through
a pin-size hole opening and can puncture skin and cause
severe blood poisoning .
Inspect hydraulic system regularly for possible leaks .
Never check for leaks with your hand while the system
is pressurized . Seek medical attention immediately if
injured by escaping fluid .
