1. 

Before cleaning, inspecting or any maintenance procedure on the machine, stop the tractor engine, set the brake and 

remove the key, disengage hydraulic hoses, wait 10 minutes to allow all parts to cool down.

 

NEVER

 perform any service or repair on your log splitter without stopping the tractor engine. 

 

2. 

Stop the tractor and relieve hydraulic system pressure by cycling the valve control lever from forward to reverse several 

times; returning to neutral before repairing or adjusting fittings, hoses, tubing, or other system components.

 

3. 

ALWAYS 

perform all recommended maintenance procedures before using your log splitter. 

 

4. 

ALWAYS 

periodically check that all nuts, bolts, screws, hydraulic fittings and hose clamps are tight

 

to be sure equipment 

is in safe working condition.

 

5. 

ALWAYS 

replace all damaged or worn parts immediately

 

with original equipment manufacturer’s (O.E.M.) parts only. 

Use of parts which do not meet the original equipment specifications may lead to improper performance and 

compromise safety.

 

6. 

The hydraulic system of your log splitter requires careful inspection along with the mechanical parts. Be sure to replace 

frayed, kinked, cracked or otherwise damaged hydraulic hoses or hydraulic components.

 

7. 

NEVER 

check for leaks of hydraulic fluid with your hand. Fluid escaping from a small hole can be almost invisible. 

Escaping fluid under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate skin causing SERIOUS INJURY or even 

DEATH. Leaks can be safely detected by passing a piece of cardboard over the suspected leak and looking for 

discoloration.

 

8. 

NEVER

 adjust the hydraulic valve. The pressure relief valve on your log splitter is preset at the factory. Only a qualified 

 

service technician should perform this adjustment.

 

9. 

ALWAYS 

seek professional medical attention immediately if injured by escaping hydraulic fluid. Serious infection or 

 

       reaction can develop if proper medical treatment is not administered immediately.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

MAINTENANCE SAFETY 

NEVER

 alter your log splitter in any manner. Such alterations may cause your log 

splitter to be unsafe and will void the warranty.
