SECTION 5: MAINTENANCE Always disconnect power to the machine before performing maintenance. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury. Cleaning For optimum performance from your log splitter, clean it with a brush after every use and wipe it down occasionally with a rag. To prevent rusting, dry the log splitter thoroughly after every use. Checking/Adding Hydraulic Fluid The oil fill plug on the Model H8170/H8171 has a dipstick attached.

—If the oil level is at least halfway between the two grooves, no additional oil is needed –wipe the dipstick clean, return the plug, and tighten it. To change the hydraulic fluid: 1. DISCONNECT THE SPLITTER FROM THE POWER SOURCE! —If the oil level is close to the lower mark, add fluid through the oil plug hole until the level is at the top line, then tighten the fill plug. 2.
