MAINTENANCE
After every use, wipe down the Hydraulic Log Splitter to
remove any tree sap or dirt left behind. This will extend
the life of the tool.
Bleeding The Log Splitter
1. Operate the log splitter to extend the Piston Rod to its
maximum length.
2. Remove the Oil Filling Plug.
3. Turn the Release Screw counterclockwise as fast as
possible, the Piston Rod will retract and push air from
cylinder out of the Oil Filling Plug.
4. Replace the Oil Filling Plug. Repeat steps 1-4 as
necessary.
Adding Oil
If you should need to add hydraulic oil to the Log Splitter,
turn the release screw counterclockwise to retract the
pison rod, remove the Oil Filling Plug and add oil until the
oil is 1/2" from top (when log splitter is laying down.)
CAUTION: DO NOT ADD OIL

OPERATION
HANDLE
RELEASE
SCREW
1. Gather the logs you want to split. Make sure the
maximum length of each log does not exceed 18". If
the log does exceed that measurement, you must cut
the log to t the maximum length of the tool.
2. Make sure the Piston Rod is fully retracted into the
cylinder. If necessary, turn the RELEASE SCREW
counterclockwise to release the hydraulic pressure.
Tighten the RELEASE SCREW.
3. Place the log between the Wedge and Piston
Assembly. Rest the log in the metal bracket Cradle.
4. Wear eye protection (goggles) when operating the
Hydraulic Log Splitter.
5. It is recommended you operate the Log Splitter in the
following manner. Stand behind the log splitter and
grip one Handle in each hand and pump the Handles
in a back-and-forth motion with one Handle fully
forward and one fully rearward as shown in gure 3.
6. Repeat step 5 to advance the Piston Rod forward.
This will push the log against the Wedge and split it.
7. When you have split the log, remove split pieces.
8. Turn the RELEASE SCREW counterclockwise to
draw the piston rod back into the cylinder. Tighten the
RELEASE SCREW when the piston rod has retracted
fully.
9. When you are done, it is recommended you store
your Hydraulic Log Splitter with the RELEASE
SCREW opened to relieve any hydraulic pressure
during non-use.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
1. If the hydraulic cylinder does not move forward when
pumping handles.
A. Check to see if Release Screw is tightened in the
close position.
B. Check to see if you need to add hydraulic oil.
