3-in-1 oil or WD-40, to the springs to keep them in proper
working order.
• Periodically check for any loose fasteners or worn,
missing or damaged parts.
Jammed log
• Periodically clean and lubricate parts.
• Sharpen the splitting wedge as needed. Use a flat file or
angle grinder, take off burrs and smooth rough sections of
the cutting edge.
Replacing the Hydraulic Oil
After every 150 hours of use, the hydraulic oil needs to be
replaced with AW32 anti-wear hydraulic oil. To replace the
hydraulic oil, follow the instructions below.
1. Make sure all moving parts have come to a complete stop
before removing the batteries from the log splitter.
2. Place a container under the drain hole. Then, using a 5/16
in. (8 mm) hex key, unscrew the oil cap (with the dipstick
attached) and tilt the log splitter forwards to allow the oil
to drain from the tank (Fig. 11).

4. To check the oil level, wipe the dipstick with a cloth, and
with the log splitter tilted vertically, insert the dipstick fully
into the drain plug, then pull it back out. The oil residue
should sit between the top notch indicating full oil level,
