Over time your YARDMAX log splitter wedge will dull. If you notice decreased performance, we recommend sharpening the wedge using 
a fine-toothed file, smoothing any burrs or crushed areas along the cutting edge. For questions about sharpening the wedge, call us at 
844-YARDMAX. 

REPLACInG HYDRAULIC OIL

SHARPEnInG THE WEDGE

The following hydraulic oils or equivalents are recommended for 
your log splitter's hydraulic transmission system:

         SHELL Tellus 22

         MObIL DTE 11

        ARAL Vitam GF 22

         bP Energol HLP-HM 22

Replace the hydraulic oil in your YARDMAX log splitter after 
every 150 hours of use. Follow these steps to replace it:

         Make sure all moving parts stop and the log splitter 

 

is unplugged.

         Unscrew the oil drain bolt with dipstick to remove it. 

         Tip the log splitter so the motor end is higher than the oil drain 

plug, and drain oil over a 1- gallon container.

         Tip the log splitter so the oil drain plug is higher than the motor 

and refill with 3.7 quarts of fresh hydraulic oil.

         Clean the surface of the dipstick and put it back in the oil tank 

while keeping the log splitter vertical.

         

Make  sure  the  level  of  the  refilled  oil  is  between  the  two 

grooves on the dipstick.

         Clean the oil drain bolt with dipstick before screwing it 

back in. Tighten it to avoid leakage before setting the log  
splitter down.

Periodically check oil level to ensure it is between 
the two grooves on the dipstick. Refill with oil if it 
becomes low.

         Release both controls.

         After the log ram moves back to its starting position and 

completely stops, insert a wood wedge under the jammed log.

         Start the log splitter to push the wood wedge completely under 

the jammed log.

         Repeat above procedure with sharper-sloped wood wedge  

until the log is completely freed.

FREEInG A JAMMED LOG

Never try to knock a jammed log off the splitter 
with your hand or another object. This could 

damage the tool or cause the log to fly up and hit 

someone

.

Disassemble the log tray table before replacing 
the hydraulic oil.
