STEP 11: Add Hydraulic Oil
7. The log splitter needs to be on a flat, level surface before adding the hydraulic oil.
8. Remove the oil cap from the hydraulic oil tank.
9. Add approximately 1.37 gallons of hydraulic oil, 10W AW, AW-32, ASLE H-150, ISO 32,
Universal Hydraulic Fluid or Dexron III Transmission Fluid.
10. Check the hydraulic oil level.
11. Start engine and use the control lever to extend and retract wedge several times to
remove air from the lines.
12. With the wedge retracted, check hydraulic oil level again and fill if necessary.
DO NOT remove the hydraulic oil fill cap when the engine is running or hot. Hot oil can escape
causing severe burns. Always allow the log splitter to cool completely before removing the hydraulic
oil cap.
High fluid pressure and temperatures are created in the hydraulic log splitters. Hydraulic fluid will
escape through a pin-size hole opening and can puncture skin and cause severe blood poisoning.
Inspect hydraulic system regularly for possible leaks. Never check for leaks with your hand while
the system is pressurized. Seek medical attention immediately if injured by escaping fluid.
Make sure all fittings are tight and secure before applying pressure. Relieve system pressure before
servicing.
Make sure the hydraulic hoses do not touch any hot surfaces or cutting areas.
Hoses need to be positioned were they are clear from the engine and cutting wedge. To avoid serious
bodily injury always inspect the hoses before operating the log splitter.
