Replace hydraulic fluid

Warning: Lifting the log splitter is a two person operation. Once raised, make sure the log splitter is

stable before performing any maintenance.

1. Place a 1 gallon (or larger) pan (NN, not included) under the motor end of the log splitter.

2. Use the hex wrench to loosen the fluid drain bolt (I) and remove the bolt with attached dipstick.

3. Raise the splitting wedge end of the log splitter to allow the fluid to drain into the pan. Lower the

splitter when it is empty.

Note: Dispose of used fluid properly.

4. Raise the motor end of the splitter and make sure it is secure.

5. Pour approximately 2.9 quarts of approved hydraulic fluid for operation over 40°F or automatic trans

mission fluid for operation below 40°F.

6. Check the fluid level with the dipstick. Add more fluid if needed.

7. Replace the fluid drain bolt (2) and tighten securely.

8. Lower the log splitter.
