Maintenance
Wipe down the log splitter to remove tree sap or
dirt. Occasionally you may need to add hydraulic
oil to maximize performance.
To add oil
:
1.
Fully extend the piston rod.
2.
Remove the oil seal (
Figure 3
).

4.
Add hydraulic oil until the cylinder is

full.
5.
Replace the oil seal.
If you need additional help with this procedure,
call our service department at: (570) 546-9663.
3.
Place a log on the cradle between the wedge
and piston rod.
4.
Use the advance pump handle (
Figure 1
) to
quickly move the piston rod until it is close to
the log. Then use the splitting pump handle
(
Figure 1
) to split the log.
5.
Turn the release knob counterclockwise to
return the piston rod to the cylinder, turn the
knob clockwise to start over, then remove the
split pieces.
Note—
Cut your logs to the same length to
reduce log splitting time.
Storage
Store the log splitter in a dry location with the
release knob open, to relieve hydraulic pressure.
