STORAGE:
Store the log splitter in a dry location with the pressure released by treading the release lever.
MAINTENANCE:

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.
