Do not remove the cap from the hydraulic tank or reservoir while the log
splitter is running. Hot oil, under pressure, could be expelled resulting
in serious injury.
Inspection
Do not check for high pressure oil leaks with your hand. Leaks can be
located by passing a piece of cardboard or wood around the suspected
leak and looking for discoloration. High-pressure fluid escaping from a
very small hole can be almost invisible. Escaping fluid under pressure
can have sufficient force to penetrate skin, causing serious injury or
even death. If fluid is injected into your skin, it must be treated
immediately by a doctor familiar with this type of injury.
Always replace frayed, kinked, or cracked hoses and/or other damaged hydraulic
components with Brave' authorized parts and components specified in the "Parts"
section of this manual. Replacement parts from secondary suppliers (not original Brave
replacement parts) can lead to product damage and/or personal injury, and WILL VOID
THE WARRANTY.
Should it become necessary to loosen or remove any hydraulic fitting or line, be sure to
relieve all hydraulic pressure by shutting off the engine, removing spark plug wire, and
moving the valve control handle back and forth several times until no cylinder movement
is visible.
Oil Pump Installation
If oil pump is replaced, the four bolts must be
tightened to 13.5 ft. lbs.
Engine Service & Storage
Refer to the engine manufacturers manual for engine maintenance, repair, and engine
storage. No special procedures are required for the hydraulic system to store the log
splitter.
