Preparation for Operation

• Save all instructions
Before Using the Log Splitter:
NOTE: Before operating the Log Splitter, the vent screw MUST ALWAYS BE LOOSENED THREE TURNS until air
can move in and out of the oil tank smoothly. Air flow through the vent screw hole should be detectable during
log splitter operations. Before moving the Log Splitter, make sure the vent screw is tightened to avoid oil leakage.
NOTICE
Failure to loosen the vent screw will keep the air inside the hydraulic reservoir sealed and it will be compressed.
This compressed air will damage the seals of the hydraulic system and may cause permanent damage to the
Log Splitter.
Assure the power cord is routed away from all moving parts and sharp edges and is not under the support legs
of the Log Splitter.
Checking Hydraulic Fluid Level:
NOTICE
The Log Splitter is filled with hydraulic fluid at the factory, but check the level prior to each use.
1. Make sure the Log Splitter is unplugged.
2. Using the handle, stand the Log Splitter on
the end near the wheels.
3. Unscrew oil drain bolt with dipstick to
remove it, wipe clean and reinsert the bolt
with dipstick.
Maximum Pressure Limiting Screw:
NOTICE
Do NOT adjust the maximum pressure limiting screw. The maximum pressure was set at the factory by
qualified mechanics using professional instruments. Unauthorized resetting may result in serious injury or
damage to the Log Splitter.
