MAINTENANCE

1. Consult the operating and maintenance instructions of the engine manufacturer for engine care and maintenance.
2. Always check the oil level of the hydraulic reservoir before operation. Operating the log splitter without an adequate
oil supply will cause severe damage to the pump.
3. Change the hydraulic oil filter after the first 25 hours of operation. Thereafter, change the oil filter every 100 hours or
seasonally, whichever comes first.
4. To drain the hydraulic oil, loosen the clamp on the suction hose coming from the fitting on the bottom of the tank. It is
located just to the right of the oil filter.
5. If the wedge becomes dull or nicked, it can be removed and sharpened. Remove the 1/2 in. diameter bolt that con-
nects the wedge to the cylinder. The hose from the valve may need to be removed. Carefully lift the cylinder to allow the
wedge to be removed. The wedge can now be lifted off and sharpened.
6. Clean the breather cap after 25 hours of operation. Clean it more often when operated in dusty conditions.
7. The EWZ pivot bushing should need no maintenance. For lower sliding force, bushing may be greased as required.
Following the operation instructions, lock beam in the vertical position on a safe, stable surface. Remove pivot screw
and nut. Remove bushing and sleeve and apply a light coating of grease. Reinstall busing and sleeve. Reinstall screw
and nut.
8. See also Repair and Maintenance Safety on pages 6 thru 7 of this manual.
9. All replacement parts must meet manufacturer's specifications.
