FLEX™ Power Base.)

8. Verify that the hydraulic fluid is to bottom of
fill plug. See Figure 3-6.
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 not
recommended that fluids be mixed. To top
off the reservoir tank during initial set-up,
use Shell Tellus® S2 M 32 Hydraulic Fluid
only, a funnel and keep the attachment on
level ground, so that you do not overfill.
9. Replace and tighten the oil plug.
NOTE: The maximum fluid level will not be
achieved until the cylinder is cycled (See
the Controls Operation Section). Check the
level when the fluid is cold and with the log
splitter on a level surface. Never run below
this level, doing so will ruin the pump.
10. Pull the locking pin (a) from the cylinder
base. Slide the cylinder back to lock in place.
