Operating Instructions
MAINTENANCE
1) Switch off and unplug power cable before performing any
maintenance, adjustment or repair. Make sure to remove any
tools and accessories from the work area when done.
2) Always check the oil level of the hydraulic reservoir before
operation. Operating the log splitter without an adequate oil
supply will cause severe damage to the pump.
3) Wipe the unit after use with an oiled rag to prevent rust.
4) The hydraulic system is preset at the factory. Do not adjust the
valve.
5) If the ram moves slowly or erratically, there may be air in the
system or insufficient hydraulic oil. Check the level of the
hydraulic oil with the dipstick.
6) For other hydraulic and motor problems not addressed in this
manual, please contact a qualified specialist.
7) If the wedge becomes dull or nicked, it can be sharpened.
ALWAYS wear safety gloves while handling the wedge.
8) See also Repair and Maintenance Safety in the Safety
Information section of this manual on page 5 of this manual.
5) All replacement parts must meet manufacturer’s specifications.
NOTE: If the motor is overloaded for a long time, the thermal
protector will disconnect the power of the motor. Switch off and
unplug the power cord to cool down the motor for 30 minutes.
Restart the motor and the log splitter should operate again.
