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 4 gallons (15.1 L) of hydraulic oil - 10W AW32,
ASLE H-150, or ISO 32 are all acceptable types of
fluid.
4. Check the hydraulic oil level using the oil sight glass.
Oil level should visibly fill the glass sight. (B)
5. Replace and tighten the oil plug and orient the vent
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.
