3- Before oil change, make sure moving parts are stopped and the log splitter is unplugged.
4- Make sure that no dirt or debris finds its way into the oil tank.
5- Following an oil change, activate the log splitter a few times without load (without splitting wood).
6- Collect used oil and dispose of responsibly in accordance with local environmental legislation.
It is prohibited to dump waste oil into the environment or to mix it with other waste.
- Recommended oil
Following hydraulic oils or equivalent are recommend for the log splitter's hydraulic system:
Aral Vitam GF22 , BP Energol HLP-HM 22, Mobil DTE 11, SHELL Tellus 22
Do not use other types of oil! The use of any other type of oil will adversely affect the operation of
the hydraulic cylinder.
- Hydraulic system
The hydraulic system is a closed system with oil tank, oil pump and control valve.
Do not alter or tamper with the factory installed system.
Check the oil level regularly.
Too low oil level will likely damage the oil pump.
Check the hydraulic and screw connections regularly for leaks, tighten them if necessary.
