Before operating the log splitter, the Bleed Screw should be loosened by some rotations until
air can go in and out of the oil tank smoothly. Air flow thru the Bleed Screw hole should be de-
tectable 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.
FAILED TO LOOSEN THE BLEED SCREW WILL KEEP THE SEALED AIR IN
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM BEING COMPRESSED AFTER BEING DECOMPRE-
SSED. SUCH CONTINUOUS AIR COMPRESSION AND DECOMPRESSION
WILL BLOW OUT THE SEALS OF THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM AND CAUSE
PERMANT DAMAGE TO THE LOG SPLITTER.
