Always dispose of used oil correctly and never throw it into household waste or sewage!
The hydraulic system of the log splitter is a closed system with oil tank, oil pump and control valve. The oil
should be changed completely once a year.
The following hydraulic oils are recommended for the hydraulic transmission system of the log splitter:
•
Shell Tellus 22

Mobil DTE 11
•
Aral Vitam GF 22 or

BP Energol HLP-HM 2
If the oil level is too low, the oil pump can be damaged,
whereas overfilling can lead to overheating of the
hydraulic system. Therefore check the oil level regularly
with the dipstick - see picture on the left!
NOTICE
Hydraulic oils are toxic and must not be released into the environment!
Follow the manufacturer's instructions and contact your local authorities for
information on proper disposal.
