STORAGE:
Store the log splitter in a dry location with the pressure released by treading the release lever.
MAINTENANCE:
Wipe down the log splitter to remove any tree sap or dirt after each use. Occasionally, you may
need to add hydraulic oil to maximise performance.
To add oil to the hydraulic pump:
Note:
Refer to the Parts Breakdown to identify the parts named below.
1. Remove the pull spring, then separate the workbench from hydraulic pump.
2. Use a 6mm inner hex wrench to remove the two inner hex screws that hold the hydraulic pump
to the base.
3. Position the pump horizontally and remove the round rubber oil plug on the back of the pump
housing.
4. Add ISO VG15 hydraulic oil until the cylinder is approximately 3⁄4 full. (Oil weight is
approximately 0.7kg/1.543lbs)
