100624 - 9 TON FULL BEAM LOG SPLITTER
ASSEMBLY
Add Hydraulic Oil
 WARNING
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.

NOTICE
To check oil level, insert the dipstick into fill neck until it stops.
Remove and read level. Do not thread dipstick into fill neck
when checking oil.
Failure to open the hydraulic vent screw will cause
pressure build-up due to heat. This creates difficulty during
maintenance and operation.
When the outdoor temperature is below 32°F (0°C), Dexron III
transmission fluid can be used.
Always tighten the hydraulic vent screw when the engine is off
and log splitter is not in use. When the vent screw is closed, it
prevents dust, dirt, and debris from entering the tank. Closing
the vent screw also prevents oil leakage when the log splitter
is being transported.
While the hydraulic vent screw is open, some hydraulic oil may
spill out during transportation and/or operation especially if the
log splitter is not on a level surface.
1. Make sure the log splitter is on a flat, level surface.
2. Remove the dipstick (A) from the oil tank.
3. Using your fingers, open the hydraulic vent screw by turning it
counter clockwise approximately 2-3 times. (B)

6. Replace and tighten the dipstick.
7. Start engine (see Starting the Engine in the Operation
section).
8. Extend and retract the cylinder to purge air from the hydraulic
system. Cylinder motion should be smooth and continuous.
9. Shut-off engine (see Stopping the Engine in the Operation
section).
10. Check the hydraulic oil tank dipstick. Add additional hydraulic
oil if needed.
11. Check oil level daily and add as needed.
