REPLACING HYDRAULIC OIL

Replace the Hydraulic Oil in the log splitter after
every 150 hours of use. Take the following steps
to replace it.
• Make sure all moving parts are stopped and the log
splitter is unplugged.
• Unscrew the Oil Drain Bolt with Dipstick to remove it.
• Turn the log splitter on the Support Leg side over
a 4L capacity container to drain off the hydraulic oil.
• Turn the log splitter on the motor side.
• Refill with fresh hydraulic oil at the volume as per
model capacity (indicated in the specifications table).
• Clean the surface of the Dipstick on the Oil Drain Bolt,
and put it back into the oil tank while keeping the log
splitter vertical.
• Make sure the level of the refilled oil is just between
the 2 grooves on the Dipstick.
• Clean the Oil Drain Bolt before you thread it back.
Make sure it's adequately tightened to avoid leakage
before placing the log splitter horizontally.
Periodically check the oil level to ensure it is
between the 2 grooves on the Dipstick.
If oil level is low, refill to proper level as required.
The following hydraulic oils or equivalent are recommended:
For winter use an ISO 22 hydraulic oil is recommended. For spring, summer and fall, use an IS0 32
hydraulic oil.

SHARPENING WEDGE

After using the log splitter for some time, sharpen the wedge by using a fine-toothed file and smooth
any burrs or crushed areas along the cutting edge.
