HYDRAULIC INJECTION
HAZARD
Hydraulic fluid leaks can be
under sufficient pressure
to penetrate your skin and
enter your bloodstream. If
fluid is injected into any
part of your body, it is a
medical emergency and
may, if not treated immedi-
ately, result in severe infec-
tion, permanent disability,
or even death.
Test Run
DO NOT start machine until all preceding
setup instructions have been performed.
Operating an improperly set up machine
may result in malfunction or unexpect-
ed results that can lead to serious injury,
death, or machine/property damage.
Serious injury or death can result from
using this machine BEFORE understanding
its controls and related safety information.
DO NOT operate, or allow others to operate,
machine until the information is understood.
To test run log splitter:
1. Clear all setup tools away from machine.
2. Make sure hydraulic fluid tank is filled to
required fluid level (refer to
Checking/
Adding Hydraulic Fluid on Page 21). DO
NOT operate log splitter without first filling
hydraulic fluid tank!
3. Connect log splitter to power supply.
4. Turn air bleed screw clockwise until it stops,
then turn it counterclockwise two full turns.
5. Press and hold ON button, then push and
hold hydraulic control lever down. Hydraulic
ram should move forward, stopping about 4 "
from splitting wedge.
Note: For your safety, both ON button and
hydraulic control lever must be engaged to
start hydraulic ram moving forward.
When hydraulic ram stops moving forward,
release both ON button and hydraulic control
lever. Motor will stop running and hydraulic
ram will return to start position.
— If log splitter operates as described above,
then it is working properly and Test Run is
complete.
— If log splitter does not operate as described
above, or if it vibrates excessively or
makes unusual noises, stop using log
splitter immediately, disconnect it from
power supply and refer to
Troubleshooting
on
Page 23. If you still cannot resolve the
problem, call Tech Support for help.
If you find an unusual problem during the test run,
immediately stop the machine, disconnect it from
power, and fix the problem BEFORE operating the
machine again. The
Troubleshooting table in the
SERVICE section of this manual can help.
The Test Run verifies that the machine operates
