Always set logs firmly on the log retaining
plates and work table. Make sure logs will
not twist, rock or slip while being split. Do
not force the blade by splitting the log on
the upper part. This will break the blade or
damage the machine.
Break log in the direction of its growing grain. Do not place log across the log splitter for splitting. It may be
dangerous and may seriously damage the machine.
Do not attempt to split 2 pieces of logs at the same time. One of them may fly up and hit you.
FREEING A JAMMED LOG
•
Release both controls.
•
After the log pusher moves back and
completely stops at its starting posi-
tion, insert a wedge wood under the
jammed log.
•
Start the log splitter to push the
wedge wood to go completely under
the jammed one.
•
Repeat above procedure with sharper
slope wedge woods until the log is
completely freed.
Do not try to knock the jammed log off.
Knocking about will damage the machine or
may launch the log and cause accident.
REPLACING HYDRAULIC OIL
Replace the Hydraulic oil in the log splitter after every
150 hours of use. Take following steps to replace it.
•
Make sure all moving parts stops and the log split-
ter is unplugged.
•
Unscrew Oil Drain Bolt with Dipstick to remove it.
•
Turn the log splitter on the Support Leg side over
an 4 liters capacity container to drain the hydraulic
oil off.
•
Turn the log splitter on the the motor side.
•
Refill fresh hydraulic oil at the volume as per the
hydraulic oil capacity of a particular model indicat-
ed in above specifications table.
•
Clean the surface of Dipstick on the Oil Drain Bolt
and put it back into the oil tank while keep the log
splitter vertically.
•
Make sure the level of the refilled oil is just
between 2 grooves around the Dipstick.
•
Clean the Oil Drain Bolt before inserting it. Make
sure they are tightened to avoid leakage before
place the log splitter horizontally.
Periodically check oil level to ensure it is between
2 grooves around the Dipstick. Upon Lower oil
level, oil refilling is required.

system:
SHELL Tellus 22
