Before Each Use-Inspection / Maintenance

Step One: Inspect and maintain log splitter before each use

If the log splitter has been used previously, it must be inspected and maintained BEFORE EACH SUBSEQUENT USE.

WARNING

ALWAYS shut off the engine, disconnect the spark plug, and relieve system pressure before inspecting, cleaning, adjusting, or repairing the splitter. Relieve system pressure by moving Split Control Lever back and forth several times.

IMPORTANT:

If a part needs replacement, only use parts that meet the manufacturer’s specifications. Replacement parts that do not meet specifications may result in a safety hazard or poor operation of the log splitter.

1.Engine off / Perform all inspections/repairs with the engine off and hydraulic system pressure

1.

Make sure engine is off and cool.

 

2.

2. Remove debris

Remove debris from engine, muffler, and moving parts.

 

1.

Engine debris. Debris on a hot engine can be a fire hazard. Clean debris and chaff

 

 

from engine cylinder head, cylinder head fins, blower housing rotating screen, and

 

 

muffler areas. Avoid contact with hot muffler.

 

2.

Other debris. Debris on moving parts can cause excess wear. Clear debris from the

 

 

slide beam, wedge, and endplate.

 

 

3. Fuel tank / lines

Check fuel tank and fuel lines for leaks.

 

Any fuel leak is a fire hazard. Fix any fuel leaks before starting engine.

 

 

4. Mechanical

Check to be sure all nuts and bolts are tight to make sure the log splitter is in safe

working condition.

5.Hydraulic system Check the hydraulic system carefully:

1.Visually inspect all hoses, tubing, clamps/fittings, pump, and cylinder for cracks, fraying, kinks, or other damage.

2.Check all components for oily residue, which may indicate a leak.

Do NOT operate the log splitter if there is any indication of damage or oily residue. Small leaks in hydraulic lines can cause severe injuries and can also be an indication of catastrophic failure in the near future. The life of hydraulic hoses may be from a few months to a few years, depending on use and storage patterns.

WARNING: High fluid pressures and temperatures are developed in hydraulic log splitters. Hydraulic fluid escaping through a pin hole sized opening can burn or puncture skin, resulting in wounds that could cause blood poisoning, infection, disability, gangrene, amputation, or death.
