2.8 HYDRAULIC SAFETY | 2.9 SAFETY DECALS |
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 components. Just because it isn’t leaking today doesn’t mean that it will not fail tomorrow.
Fluid escaping from a very small hole can almost be invisible. Do not check for leaks with your hand. Escaping fluid under pressure can have sufficient force
to penetrate skin causing serious personal injury or even death. Leaks can be detected by passing a piece of cardboard or wood over the suspected leak and looking for discoloration.
If injured by escaping fluid, see a doctor at once. Serious infection or reaction can develop if proper medical treatment is not administered immediately.
Should it become necessary to loosen or remove any hydraulic fitting or line, be sure to relieve all pressure by shutting off the engine and moving the control handle back and forth several times.
DO NOT remove the cap from the hydraulic tank or reservoir while your Log Splitter is running. Hot oil under pressure could result in serious injury.
The pressure relief valve on your Log Splitter is preset at the factory. DO NOT adjust the valve. Only a qualified service technician should perform this adjustment.
