7. Reinstall the filter inlet screen and suction hose. Tighten
the hose clamp.
8. Check the fluid level using the dipstick. Do not overfill.
NOTE: Approved fluids include Shell Tellus® S2 M
32 Hydraulic Fluid, Dexron® III/Mercon® automatic
transmission fluid, Pro-Select™ AW-32 Hydraulic Oil
or 10WAW-ISO viscosity grade 32 hydraulic oil. It is
recommended that fluids not be mixed.
9. Replace the vented dipstick securely, tightening it until the
top of the threads are flush with top of the pipe.
10. Disconnect the spark plug and prime the pump by pulling
the recoil starter as far as it will go. Repeat approximately
10 times.
11. Reconnect the spark plug wire and start the engine following
the instructions in the Engine Operator's manual.
12. Use the control handle to engage the wedge to the farthest
extended position. Then retract the wedge.
13. Refill the reservoir within range marked on the dipstick. See
Figure 6-4.

14. Extend and retract the wedge 12 complete cycles to
remove trapped air in the system (the system is "self-
bleeding").
WARNING!
drawn into the cylinder and hoses. Make certain to
refill the reservoir to prevent damage to the
hydraulic pump. Failure to refill the tank will void the
log splitter's warranty.
NOTE: Some fluid may overflow from the vent plug as
the system builds heat and the fluid expands and seeks a
balanced level. Do not operate the log splitter without the
proper amount of transmission fluid in the reservoir tank.

15. Maintain the fluid level within the range specified on the
dipstick at all times. When checking the fluid, always make
sure to tighten the dipstick until the top of the threads are
flush with the top of the pipe.
NOTE: Always dispose of any used hydraulic fluid and
engine oil at approved recycling centers only.
16. Contaminants in the fluid may damage the hydraulic
components. Flushing the reservoir tank and hoses with
kerosene whenever service is performed on the tank,
hydraulic pump or valve is recommended. Contact an
authorized service dealer.
Hose Clamps
Check the clamps on the return hose before each use and check
the clamps on the suction hose once a season.
Hydraulic Filter
Change the hydraulic filter every 50 hours of operation. Use a 10
micron hydraulic filter only. Order part number 723-0405.
Beam & Splitting Wedge
Lubricate the top, sides and bottom of the beam and where it
comes into contact with the splitting wedge with engine oil
before each use.
Off-Season Storage
If the log splitter will not be used for more than 30 days, prepare
for storage as follows:
WARNING!
Never store the machine with fuel in
the fuel tank inside of building where fumes may
reach an open flame or spark, or where ignition
sources are present such as hot water and space
heaters, furnaces, clothes dryers, stoves, electric
motors, etc.
1. Refer to the Engine Operator's manual packed with your
log splitter for information on the off-season storage of the
engine.
2. Clean the log splitter thoroughly.
NOTE: The use of pressure washers or a garden hose to clean
the splitter is not recommended. They may cause damage
to the bearings or the engine. The use of water to clean
the log splitter will result in a shortened life and reduce
serviceability.
3. Wipe the machine with an oiled rag to prevent rust, especially
on the wedge and the beam.
4. Store the log splitter in a clean, dry area. Do not store it
next to corrosive materials, such as fertilizer.
NOTE: If storing in an unventilated or metal storage shed,
be certain to rustproof the equipment by coating it with a
light oil or silicone.
