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 stop and the log splitter is
unplugged.
• Unscrew Oil Drain Bolt with Dipstick to remove it.
• Turn the log splitter on the Support Leg side over a gallon
capacity container to drain the hydraulic oil off.
• Turn the log splitter on at the motor side.
• Refill fresh hydraulic oil with indicated volume as per the
hydraulic oil capacity of a particular model indicated in above
specifications table.
• Clean the surface of Dipstickon the Oil Drain Bolt and put it
back into the oil tank while keeping 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 threading it back. Make sure it
is tightened to avoid leakage before placing the log splitter
horizontally.
Periodically Check the oil level to ensure it is between 2
grooves around the Dipstick. If the oil level is below this, oil
refilling is required.
The following hydraulic oils or equivalent are recommend for the transmission system:
SHELL Tellus 22
MOBIL DTE 11
