4.Connect the main lead from the wood splitter to a standard electrical, 110-120VAC, grounded power source fused at 15 AMPS. If using an extension cord, it must be 12AWG and less than 33 feet long with a rating of 15 AMPS. Route the cord from the wood splitter to the power source in such a way that safeguards against the cord becoming damaged during the wood splitting session. Be sure to avoid wet conditions.

5.Cycle the ram several times. After cycling, if the ram does not travel to within 6" of the wedge, check the hydraulic fluid level by tipping the wood splitter up on the wheels and motor.

6.Clean the area around the Hydraulic Fluid Fill/Drain Port (Figure 5) and then, using the adjustable wrench, unscrew the Dipstick located in the Hydraulic Fluid Fill/Drain Port.

7.Clean the Dipstick and check the level (do not screw the Dipstick down when checking); it should be between the two marks on the Dipstick. If the fluid is too high, simply pour out a little at a time into a suitable container by tilting the wood splitter. If the fluid is too low, add an AW32 hydraulic fluid, a little at a time until the level falls between the two marks on the dipstick.

8.Clean the Dipstick and the O-ring seal thoroughly and reinstall being careful not to damage the threads of the aluminum Hydraulic Fluid Cylinder End Cover.

Tip: In cold weather, cycle the ram several times to warm-up the hydraulic fluid. This will provide full power from your DR 4 -Ton WOOD SPLITTER.
