Hydraulic Fluid and Inlet Filter

•Check the hydraulic fluid level in the log splitter reservoir tank before each use. Maintain fluid level within the range specified on the dipstick at all times.

•Change the hydraulic fluid in the reservoir every 100 hours of operation. Follow the steps below:

1.Disconnect the suction hose from the bottom of the reservoir tank.

2.Carefully unthread the inlet filter and clean it with penetrating oil. See Figure 5-2.

3.Allow the fluid to drain into a suitable container.

4.Reinsert the filter and refill the reservoir with three (3) gallons of oil. Approved fluids include Dexron® III / Mercon® III automatic transmission fluid, a 10 Weight AW hydraulic oil or Pro-Mix™ AW-32 Hydraulic Oil.

•Maintain fluid level within the range specified on the dipstick at all times. When checking the fluid, always make sure to tighten the dipstick until the top of the threads are flush with the top of the pipe.

NOTE: Always dispose of used hydraulic fluid and engine oil at approved recycling centers only.

•Contaminants in fluid may damage the hydraulic components. Flushing the reservoir tank and hoses with kerosene whenever service is performed on the tank, hydraulic pump or valve is recommended. Contact an authorized service dealer.

Hydraulic Filter

•Change the hydraulic filter every 50 hours of opera- tion. Use only a 10 micron hydraulic filter. Order part number 723-0405.

Beam and Splitting Wedge

•Lubricate both sides of the beam (where it comes into contact with the splitting wedge), before each use, with engine oil. The wedge plate on the log splitter is designed so the gibs on the side of the wedge plate can be removed and rotated and/or turned over for even wear.

Figure 5-2

•Make certain to readjust the adjustment bolts so wedge moves freely, but no excess space exists between the wedge plate and the beam.

Hose Clamps

•Check, before each use, if hose clamps on the suction hose (attached to the side of the pump) are tight. Check the hose clamps on the return hose at least once a season.

Engine

Refer to the separate engine manual for all maintenance instructions.

Flexible Pump Coupler

The flexible pump coupler is a nylon “spider” insert, located between the pump and the engine shaft. Over time, the coupler will harden and deteriorate.

Replace the coupler if you detect vibration or noise coming from the area between the engine and the pump. If the coupler fails completely, you will experience a loss of power.
