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.
