When both levers are pulled backwards (towards the
operator), the log splitter returns to the starting
position.
Note: Once you start splitting the log, never reach into
the splitting zone.
Warning! Never force the log splitter for more than
5 seconds. After this time, the oil under pressure
will overheat and the machine could be damaged.
For extremely hard logs, rotate the log by 90° to see
whether it can be split in a different plane. if you are
still not able to split the log, this means that the wood
exceeds the capacity of the machine and should be
discarded to protect the log splitter.
FREEING A JAMMED LOG
Pull the levers backwards.
The log splitter will move back to its starting position.
Insert a wedge of wood under the jammed log.
Start the log splitter to push the wedge under the
jammed log.
Repeat above procedure with sharper sloped wedges
of woods until the log is completely free.
Do not try to hit the jammed log off of the log splitter,
this may damage the machine or may cause the log to
fly up and cause an accident, Fig.32.
MAINTENANCE
Warning: Make sure that the log splitter is switched
off before starting any cleaning or maintenance
procedures.
CLEANING THE FUEL STRAINER
Open the fuel tank cap, Fig.33.
Remove the fuel strainer, Fig.34.
Remove any contaminants.
Replace the fuel strainer.
Do not operate log splitter without fuel strainer properly
installed.
CLEANING THE AIR FILTER
Unscrew and remove the wing nut.
Remove the air filter cover, Fig.35.
Remove the wing nut and remove the air filter element,
Fig.36.
Wash the element in a solution of warm water and mild
detergent.
Warning! Do not use flammable solvents or petrol
to clean the air filter.
Rinse thoroughly and leave the element to dry.
Once it is completely dry, immerse the filter in clean
engine oil and squeeze to remove excess oil.
If the air filter is damaged replace it with a new one.
Replace the filter into its original position and refit the
air filter cover.
CHANGING THE SPARK PLUGS
Caution: Allow the engine to cool before removing the
spark plug.
Remove the spark plug cap from the spark plug,
Fig.37.
Use the spark plug spanner supplied to remove the
spark plug.
Remove any carbon that has accumulated around the
spark plug electrode.
Check the spark plug gap (a), it should be between 0.7
and 0.8 mm, adjust if necessary, Fig.38.
Check the overall condition of the spark plug and
replace if necessary.
Reinstall the spark plug and replace the spark plug
cap.
REPLACING THE HYDRAULIC OIL
Replace the hydraulic oil in the log splitter after every
150 hours of use. Take following steps to replace it.
Make sure all moving parts stop and the log splitter is
unplugged.
Place a 4 litre capacity container beneath the log
splitter, Fig.39.
Loosen the bleed screw by 2-3 turns until air can go in
and out of the oil tank smoothly.
Unscrew oil drain screw located on the bottom of the
log splitter
Allow all of the oil to drain into the container.
Close the oil drain screw and using a clean funnel, refill
with 4 litres of fresh hydraulic oil through the oil bleed
screw port.
Wipe clean and replace the bleed screw.
Check the oil level using the dipstick which is attached
to the bleed screw.
Add more oil if required.
SHARPENING THE WEDGE
After using the log splitters for some time, sharpen the
wedge of the log splitter using a fine-toothed file and
smooth any burrs or crushed area along the cutting
edge.
TRANSPORT AND STORAGE
MOVING THE LOG SPLITTER
Caution: Before moving the log splitter, make sure the
bleed screw is tightened to avoid oil leaking.
The log splitter will move back to its starting position.
Insert a wedge of wood under the jammed log.
