Important!
Before operating the log splitter, the Bleed Screw (15) should
be loosened by some rotations until air can go in and out of
the oil tank smoothly. Air flow through the Bleed Screw hole
should be detectable during the log splitter is under operations.
Before moving the log splitter, make sure the Bleed
Screw is tightened to avoid oil leaking from this point.
Warning!
Failure to loosen the bleed screw will keep the sealed air in
hydraulic system being compressed after being decompressed.
such continuous air compression and decompression
will blow lout the seals of the hydraulic system and cause
permanent damage to the log splitter.
17. Max Pressure Limiting Screw.
Warning!
DO NOT ADJUST THE MAX PRESSURE LIMITING SCREW!
Max pressure has been set at the time of manufacture to limit
compression to either a 5 ton or 4 ton settings. The setting
was done by qualified mechanics with professional instruments.
Unauthorised resetting will cause the hydraulic pump
fail to output enough splitting pressure or RESULT IN SERIOUS
INJURY AS WELL AS DAMAGE TO THE MACHINE.
