Periodically check for hydraulic fluid leaks by placing a sheet of cardboard under the 
wood splitter while the system is running. 

 

The wood splitter must be on a level surface. 

 

Please follow these steps to depressurize the system and release residual hydraulic 
energy before starting any repairs. 
1.  Unplug the wood splitter from the power source. 
2.  Move the Operating Handle down and up from one limit of travel to the other at 

least four times and holding the Handle for three seconds at each limit of travel. 
The ram should not move during the 4th cycle and should be fully retracted. 

3. Call 

1(800) DR-OWNER (376-9637)

, or a qualified hydraulic mechanic, for 

assistance to replace worn components. 

 

Do not make any adjustments to the hydraulic system. 

 

Never remove the fill/dipstick cap from the hydraulic fluid port while the motor is 
running or while the tank is still warm after the motor is shut off. Hot pressurized fluid 
can cause serious injury, so wait for the hydraulic tank to cool before removing cap. 

Tip: 

See page 21 for Troubleshooting Tips.

WARNING!

 

The items listed in this section will help you keep your DR 4 -

Ton WOOD SPLITTER running smoothly and, most
importantly, prevent injury to yourself or others. Please
review them carefully before operating your machine.

 

 

WARNING!

 

Escaping pressurized fluid from hydraulic system leaks can
have enough force to penetrate skin and cause serious injury
or death. Hydraulic fluid can remain pressurized while the
motor is off due to the return spring force on the ram. 

- Never use your hand or any part of your body to check for hydraulic system
leaks while the system is pressurized.  
- Get professional medical help at once if hydraulic oil penetrates anyone's skin.
- Always release residual energy from pressurized hydraulic fluid and allow the
fluid to cool before doing any maintenance or repair work on the wood splitter.
