MAINTENANCE & STORAGE
WARNING:
Disconnect spark plug before performing any maintenance or making adjustments.
RESERVOIR FLUID
Check the hydraulic fluid level in the reservoir tank before each use. Operating without an adequate oil
supply will cause severe damage to the pump. Change the hydraulic fluid in the reservoir per
manufacturers recommendations.
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 log splitter at
approved recycling centers.
Should it become necessary to loosen or remove any hydraulic fitting or line, be sure to remove 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 your unit is running. Hot oil
under pressure will cause injury.
Always store gasoline in an approved, tightly sealed container. Store container in a dry, cool place. Keep
fuel away from gas appliances where fumes could contact open flame, pilot lights or sparks.
Do not operate your splitter in poor mechanical condition or when needing repair. Repair and replace
worn or broken parts immediately.
Periodically tighten nuts, bolts, and hydraulic fittings.
The hydraulic system of your log splitter requires careful inspection, along with the mechanical parts. Be
sure to replace frayed, kinked, or otherwise damaged hydraulic components.
The pressure relief valve on the splitter is preset at the factory. Do not adjust valve. Only a qualified
service technician should perform this adjustment.
If the wedge becomes dull or nicked, it can be removed and sharpened. The wedge is heavy and may still
have sharp edges, wear gloves while handling the wedge.
