Operating Tips
Always:
1. Use clean fluid and check the fluid level regularly.
2. Use an approved hydraulic fluid. Approved fluids include Shell Tellus® S2 M
32 Hydraulic Fluid, Dexron® III/Mercon® Automatic Transmission Fluid, Pro-
Select™ AW-32 Hydraulic Oil or 10WAW-ISO Viscosity Grade 32 Hydraulic Oil.
NOTE: It is not recommended that hydraulic fluids be mixed.
3. Always ensure that the filter is in place. Clean or replace the filter regularly.
4. This unit comes with a breather cap on the fluid reservoir. Do not use any
other type of reservoir cap.
5. Make sure the pump is mounted and aligned properly.
6. This unit comes with a flexible “spider” type coupling between the engine
and pump drive shafts. Do not use any other type of coupling.
7. Keep the hoses clear and unblocked.
8. Bleed the air out of the hoses by fully extending and retracting the wedge
12 complete cycles to remove any air trapped in the system before operating.
9. Flush and clean the hydraulic system before restarting after servicing. See Service
and Maintenance section.
10. Use liquid thread sealant on all hydraulic fittings.
11. Allow time for the engine to warm-up before splitting wood.
12. Prime the pump before the initial start-up by turning over the engine with
spark plug disconnected.
13. Split the wood along the grain (lengthwise) only.
Never:
1. Use when fluid is below 20° F or above 150° F.
2. Use a solid engine/pump coupling.
3. Operate through relief valve for more than 5 seconds. If the wedge stops
moving or reaches the end of its stroke, release the control handle or
REVERSE it within 5 seconds to avoid putting stress on the hydraulic system
and engine.
4. Attempt to adjust unloading or relief valve settings.
5. Operate with air in the hydraulic system.
6. Use teflon tape on the hydraulic fittings.
7. Attempt to cut wood across the grain.
8. Attempt to remove partially split wood from the wedge with your hands.
Fully retract the wedge to dislodge the wood with the log dislodger.
