Set-Up
Preparing the Log Splitter
Lubricate the beam area (where the splitting wedge will
1.
slide) with engine oil. Do not use grease.
Remove the vented reservoir dipstick, which is located next
2.
to the hydraulic filter on top of the reservoir tank. See Fig.
3-11.
Fill the reservoir tank with approved hydraulic fluid which
3.
includes Shell Tellus® 32 Hydraulic Fluid, Dexron® III/
Mercon® automatic transmission fluid, Pro-Select™ AW-32
Hydraulic Oil or 10WAW-ISO viscosity grade 32 hydraulic oil.
It is not recommended that fluids be mixed.
NOTE:
The reservoir tank has a capacity of approximately
5.8 gallons and the entire hydraulic system has a capacity
of 7.8 gallons.
Check the fluid level using the dipstick. Do not overfill.
4.
Replace the vented dipstick securely, tightening it until the
5.
top of the threads are flush with top of the pipe.
Disconnect the spark plug and prime the pump by pulling
6.
the recoil starter as far as it will go. Repeat approximately
10 times.
Reconnect the spark plug wire and start the engine
7.
following the instructions in the Operation Section.
Use the control handle to engage the wedge to the farthest
8.
extended position. Then retract the wedge.
Refill the reservoir within range marked on the dipstick.
9.
See Fig. 3-12.
Extend and retract the wedge 12 complete cycles to
10.
remove trapped air in the system (the system is “self-
bleeding”).
WARNING!
Much of the original fluid has been
drawn into the cylinder and hoses. Make certain to
refill the reservoir to prevent damage to the
hydraulic pump. Failure to refill the tank will void the
log splitter’s warranty.
NOTE:
Some fluid may overflow from the vent plug as
the system builds heat and the fluid expands and seeks a
balanced level. Do not operate the log splitter without the
proper amount of hydraulic fluid in the reservoir tank.
