Overloading or abusing your log splitter can cause premature failure and can result in injury. Use common sense.
• Always be sure to stand inside the Operator Zone when running your log splitter.
G. Operation
1. Place the log splitter on firm, leveled ground and block the wheels to prevent them from rolling.
2. Find the Air Bleed Scr
ew on the top of the machine and loosen it by turning 3-4 times.
NOTE: DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN AND STRIP AIR BLEED SCREW THREADS
3. Connect the electric cord of the log splitter to the power source or proper extension cord (see “Extension Cord Chart”).
4. Before starting the splitting operation, cycle pressure plate of the log splitter three to four times back and forth by
pushing and releasing switches, to help remove any air that may have mixed into the hydraulic fluid during
handling, storage, etc.
Oil is incompressible; therefore, to ensure the efficiency of the log splitter, it is important that the hydraulic system does not contain
air bubbles. If there is an air bubble in the system, the force applied gets used compressing the air in the bubble rather than moving
the piston. This can compromise the efficiency of the system.
