REPLACING HYDRAULIC OIL
Replace the hydraulic oil in the log splitter after every 150 hours of use. Take the following steps to replace
the oil:
1. Make sure all moving parts are stopped and the log splitter is
unplugged.
2. Unscrew the oil drain bolt.
3. Turn the log splitter onto the support leg side and hold over a 3 litre
container to drain the oil into.
4. Turn the log splitter vertically to stand on its end with the motor
underneath and the operating handles uppermost.
5. Fill with fresh hydraulic oil.
As stated in
the Specifications Table on
page
5
the
correct oil capacity
is 2.9L
.
6. Clean the surface of the dipstick, which is attached to the oil drain
bolt,
with
a clean lint free cloth and put back into the tank to check
the
new level. Make sure the level of the refilled oil is just between
the
two grooves around the dipstick.
7. Clean the oil drain bolt before screwing
it
back. Make sure it is
tightened to avoid leakage before placing the log splitter horizontally.
Periodically check the oil level to ensure it is between the two grooves on the dipstick.
Refill when
the
oil reaches the lower level.
