Hydraulic Oil - Performance BUILT LGS13 Instrucción & Ensamblaje

STORING YOUR LOG SPLITTER
Prepare your log splitter for storage at the end of the season or if the log splitter will not be used for 30
days or more.
WARNING: Never store 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. Clean the log splitter thoroughly.
NOTE: We do not recommend the use of pressure washers or garden hose to clean your unit. They
may cause damage to bearings or the engine. The use of water will result in shortened life and reduce
serviceability.
2. Wipe unit with an oiled rag to prevent rust, especially on the push plate and the beam.
3. Drain fuel tank. Always drain fuel into approved container outdoors, away from open flame. Be
sure that engine is cool before draining the fuel. Do not smoke while handling fuel.
4. Start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines and carburetor are empty.
5. Remove spark plug. Holding a rag over the cylinder hole, pour approximately 1/2 ounce
(approximately one tablespoon) of engine oil into cylinder and crank slowly to distribute the oil.
6. Replace spark plug.
7. Do not store gasoline from one season to another.
8. Replace your gasoline can if it starts to rust. Rust and/or dirt in the gasoline will cause problems.
9. Store unit in a clean, dry area. Do not store 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 with a light oil or silicone.

Hydraulic Oil

Always check the hydraulic oil level before each use. Maintain oil level within the range specified on
the dipstick at all times.
Change the hydraulic oil in the reservoir every 100 hours of operation. Follow the steps below:
1. Discharge hydraulic oil by suction hose, and disconnect the suction hose from the bottom of
the reservoir tank.
2. Allow the fluid to drain into a suitable container.
3. Refill the reservoir with approximately 1.19 gallons (4.5L) of hydraulic oil. Maintain oil level
within the range specified on the dipstick at all time. When checking the oil always make sure
to tighten the dipstick.
NOTE: Always dispose of used hydraulic oil and engine oil at approved recycling centers only.
Contaminants in oil 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.
