MAINTENANCE & SAFETY
The hydraulic system of your log splitter requires careful inspection along with the mechanical parts. Be sure to
replace frayed, kinked, cracked or otherwise damaged hydraulic hoses or hydraulic components.

Leaks can be safely detected by passing a piece of cardboard over the suspected leak and looking for discoloration.
NEVER remove the cap from the hydraulic tank or reservoir while the log splitter is running. The tank could contain hot
oil under pressure which could result in serious injury.
