BEFORE OPERATING
Check the hydraulic fluid level
Before operating, select a suitable work area and check the level of hydraulic fluid.
A safe work area will contain a flat surface on which to place the log splitter, as well as ample room to
stack both split and unsplit logs. Make sure there is a safe electrical connection no more than 25 feet from
the workspace.
1. Make sure the bleed screw (H) is closed.
2. Lift up on the handle of the log splitter. Make sure the
splitter is resting securely and will not fall.
3. Unscrew the dipstick (I).
4. Pull out dipstick.
5. Wipe the fluid off the dipstick.
6. Put the dipstick back in the fluid tank and then pull it out
again.
7. Check the fluid level. It should be between the two
notches (J) near the end of the dipstick.
8. Add fluid, if needed.
9. Replace the dipstick and tighten it
Remember to use AW32 fluid for operation at temperatures above 40 degrees Farenheit, and automatic
transmission fluid for operation below 40 degrees Farenheit. The Log Splitter is pre-loaded with AW32
fluid during the manufacturing process.
Select a work area
Place the log splitter on a flat, stable surface. Make sure there is sufficient room for the unsplit
logs and for the stacks of split logs. Make sure there is a safe electrical connection no more
than 25 ft. from the work area.
Note: Transporting and lifting the log splitter is a two-person job. The wheels are designed for
moving the log splitter very short distances.
