PROBLEM 

PROBABLE CAUSE 

REMEDY SUGGESTED 

Motor running, ram 

not moving 

Incorrect specification 

extension lead 

Be sure the extension lead is no longer 

than 10m and its cross-section is no 
less than 2.5mm² to allow sufficient 

current flow to the motor. 

Fails to split logs 

Log is improperly positioned 

Refer to the “Operation” section for 

log loading instructions. 

The sizes or hardness of the log 

exceeds the capacity of the 

machine 

Reduce the log size before splitting it 

Splitting wedge is blunt 

Refer to “Sharpening Splitting Wedge“  

section to sharpen the cutting edge. 

Oil leak 

Locate leak & contact local Approved

Unauthorised adjustment was 

made on Max. Pressure Limiting 

Screw. Lower max pressure 

rating was set. 

Contact local Approved Dealer. 

The log pusher 

moves jerkily, making 

unfamiliar noises or 

vibrating excessively 

Lack of hydraulic oil 

Check oil level for possible oil refilling. 

Excessive air in the hydraulic 

system. 

Remove the bleed screw. Operate the 

ram 5 or 6 times without a log in place. 

Return the bleed screw to open 

position and split the log. If the 

problem continues contact the local

Oil leaks around the 

cylinder ram or from 

other points. 

Air sealed in the hydraulic 

system while operating. 

Loosen the Bleed Screw by 2 - 3 

rotations to open position, do not 

remove, before operating the log 

splitter 

Bleed Screw was not tightened 

before moving the log splitter. 

Tighten the Bleed Screw after use and 

before moving.

MAINTENANCE & STORAGE 

Always ensure the Bleed Screw is fully tightened when the machine is not in use.

children and others not qualified to use it. Avoid direct sunlight. 
Do not store anything above or near the machine, where anyone might stand on the machine to 
reach them.
