Briggs & Stratton T22B & T22H Log Splitter User Manual


 
By following a good maintenance program, your
equipment will last for many years.
1. Consult the operating and maintenance
instructions of the engine manufacturer for
engine care and maintenance.
2. Always check the oil level of the hydraulic
reservoir before operation. Operating the Log
Splitter without an adequate oil supply will
cause severe damage to the pump.
3. Change the oil filter after the first 25 hours of
operation. Thereafter, change the oil filter
every 100 hours or seasonally, whichever
comes first.
4. If the wedge becomes dull or nicked, a grinder
or sharpening tool can be used to sharpen it
while still attached to the cylinder. If it is
necessary to remove the wedge, the stripper
plate (71)* must be taken off by removing the
3
/8" bolts (68)*. Then remove the cylinder
support (66)* by taking out the
3
/8" bolts (63)*.
Then remove the
1
/2" x 3
1
/2" bolt (51)* that
connects the wedge to the cylinder. The
return hose (53)* may need to be disconnected
from the valve. Loosen hose clamp (18)* and
pull the hose off the fitting. Lift up the
cylinder carefully and slide the wedge out of
the channel.
5. Clean the breather cap after 25 hours of
operation. Clean it more often when operated
in dusty conditions. To clean, remove the
breather from the tank and flush with
kerosene or liquid detergent to remove the
dirt.
6. See also Repair and Maintenance Safety in
the Safety Information section of this manual.
7. All replacement parts must meet
manufacturer's specifications.
