ASSEMBLY
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.
WARNING
A
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 glass sight.
5. Replace and tighten the oil plug and orient the vent
hole away from the operator zone.
6. Start Engine. (See starting the engine section)
7. Extend and retract the wedge to purge air from
the hydraulic system. When the wedge motion is
smooth, the system is properly purged.
8. Check the hydraulic oil tank sight glass. Add
approximately 1 gallon (3.8 L) of hydraulic oil to
bring the level back up to the sight glass. Do NOT
overfill.
9. Check oil level daily and add as needed.
Add Hydraulic Oil
When the outdoor tempurature is below 32˚F,
Dexron III transmission fluid can be used. Do not
mix hydraulic oil and transmission fluid. Drain all oil
or fulid before adding the other one.
NOTE
To check oil level, use the oil sight glass on the
beam. The oil sight glass has a marker for the
acceptable level of oil. If oil is below the marker,
add oil as needed. DO NOT OVERFILL.
