NOTICE
Once oil has been added, a visual check should show oil
about 1-2 threads from running out of the fill hole.
If using the dipstick to check oil level, DO NOT screw in the
dipstick while checking.
"
NOTICE
Check oil often during the break-in period. Refer to the
Maintenance section for recommended service intervals.
! CAUTION
The engine is equipped with a low oil shut-off and will stop
when the oil level in the crankcase falls below the threshold
level.
"
NOTICE
We consider the first 5 hours of run time to be the break-
in period for the engine. During the break in period we
recommend using standard automotive non-synthetic
blended oils. After the break in period synthetic lubricant
can be used but is not required. Adjusting throttle setting
will increase/decrease engine speed helping to seat piston
rings. Avoid bogging or lugging the engine down and avoid
prolonged running at constant RPM. After the 5 hour break-
in period, change the oil. Using synthetic lubricants does not
increase the recommended oil change interval.
"
NOTICE
Weather will affect engine oil and engine performance.
Change the type of engine oil used based on weather
conditions to suit the engine needs.
"
NOTICE
Synthetic oil may be used after the 5 hour initial break-
in period. Using synthetic oil does not increase the
recommended oil change interval. Full synthetic 5W-30 oil
will aid in starting in cold ambient <5º C (41º F)
Add Hydraulic Oil
If your log splitter was delivered pre-assembled, follow
these instructions:
1. Position the log splitter on a flat, level surface.
2. Remove the plastic shipping plug from the oil tank on the
top of the tank (A) and discard. Replace with the steel oil
plug (with breather hole) shipped with your log splitter (A).
! CAUTION
Do not run the log splitter with temporary shipping plug.
Pressure will build up inside the tank and potential damage
could occur.
"
NOTICE
Hydraulic tank is deliberately overfilled before shipping from
the factory. When the unit has been operated, oil will adjust
to proper level.
3. After running and cycling the unit several minutes (purging
air from the system), turn off the engine and check the
hydraulic oil level using the oil sight glass. Oil level should
visibly fill the sight glass.
If your log splitter was delivered unassembled, follow
these instructions:
1. Make sure the log splitter is on a flat, level surface.
2. Remove the oil plug from the oil tank (A).
3. Add 4 gal. (15.1 L) of hydraulic oil - see specification
section for types of acceptable oil.
4. Check the hydraulic oil level using the oil sight glass.
Oil level should visibly fill the sight glass.
