Preparing the Log Splitter

1.Lubricate the beam area (where the splitting wedge will slide) with engine oil; do not use grease.

2.Remove vented reservoir dipstick, which is located in front of the engine on top of the reservoir tank. See Figure 3-7.

IMPORTANT: The log splitter may have been shipped and primed with hydraulic fluid in the reservoir tank. If not, proceed with the following steps:

3.Fill the reservoir tank with hydraulic fluid included with this unit (if equipped) or approved fluids which include Dexron® III / Mercon® III automatic transmission fluid, a 10 Weight AW hydraulic oil or Pro-Mix™ AW-32 Hydraulic Oil.

4.Check fluid level using the dipstick. See Figure 3-7. Do not overfill.

5.Replace vented dipstick securely, tightening it until the top of the threads are flush with top of the pipe.

6.Disconnect the spark plug and prime the pump by pulling the recoil starter as far as it will go. Repeat approximately 10 times.

7.Reconnect the spark plug wire and start engine following instructions in the OPERATION section.

8.Use control handle to engage the wedge to the farthest extended position. Then retract the wedge.

9.Refill tank as specified on the dipstick.

NOTE: Failure to refill the tank will void unit’s warranty.

10.Extend and retract the wedge 12 complete cycles to remove trapped air in the system (the system is “self-bleeding”).

11.Refill reservoir within range marked on the dipstick.

WARNING: Much of the original

fluid has been drawn into the cylinder and hoses. Make certain to refill the reservoir to prevent damage to the hydraulic pump.
