MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
WARNING:
DISCONNECT THE SPARK PLUG BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE.
Consult the operating and maintenance instructions of the engine manufacturer for engine care.
Always check the oil level of the hydraulic reservoir before operation. Operating without an adequate oil
supply will cause severe damage to the pump. Change the hydraulic fluid in the reservoir after every 100 hours of
operation. Change the hydraulic filter after every 50 hours of operation (use only a 10 micron hydraulic filter).
Periodically check that all nuts, bolts, screws, clamps and fittings are tight and secure.
To keep your splitter in top working condition perform all recommended maintenance procedures before you use
your splitter.
If the wedge becomes dull or nicked a grinder or sharpening tool can be used to sharpen it.
Completely drain the fuel tank prior to storage. Always store gasoline in an approved, tightly sealed container. Store
container in a dry, cool place with adequate ventilation. Keep fuel away from areas where fumes could contact open
flame, pilot light or sparks.
Be aware of the environment when disposing of used petroleum products. Please dispose of used hydraulic
fluid, engine oil and any by products from the maintenance of your splitter at approved recycling centers.
Should it become necessary to disassemble the unit for repair or replacement of parts, refer to the drawings and parts
list on the following pages. Exercise extreme caution, as some parts are very heavy and will require sufficient
persons or mechanical handling equipment.
Your Swisher Log Splitter has been produced with components designed specifically to this machine. Although
standard springs, hardware and ect may look similar to parts used on other machinery, they may in some cases
be made of a different construction and/or materials. All replacement parts must meet manufacturer’s
specifications.
The operation of any splitter can produce foreign objects which can be thrown
into the eyes, resulting in severe eye damage. Always wear certified safety
glasses or wide-vision safety goggles over spectacles before staring any
splitting machine and while operating such a machine.
The operation of any splitter produces sound waves that are damaging to the
human ear. Ear protection is recommended.
Fluid escaping from a very small hole can almost be invisible. Do not check for leaks with your hand. Escaping
fluid under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate skin causing serious personal injury or even death.
Leaks can be detected by passing a piece of cardboard or wood over the suspected leak and looking for
discoloration. IF injured by escaping fluid, see a doctor at once. Serious infection or reaction can develop if
proper medical treatment is not administered immediately.
Should it become necessary to loosen or remove any hydraulic fittings, lines or reservoir cap, be sure to relieve all
pressure by shutting off the engine and moving the control handle back and forth several times.
NEVER remove the cap from the hydraulic tank or reservoir while the unit is running. Hot oil under pressure
could result in serious injury. See also SAFETY PRECAUTIONS.
The pressure relief valve on your splitter is preset at the factory. DO NOT adjust the valve. Only a
qualified technician should perform this adjustment.
