HYDRAULIC FLUID AND INLET FILTER
WARNING
Stop the engine and relieve hydraulic system pressure before chang-
ing or adjusting fittings, hoses, tubing, or other system components.
Check the hydraulic fluid level in the log splitter reservoir tank before
each use. Maintain the fluid level within the range specified on the
dipstick at all times.
Change the hydraulic fluid in the reservoir every 100 hours of opera-
tion. Follow the steps below:
1.
Place a suitable oil collection container under the tank.
2.
Disconnect the suction hose from the bottom of the reservoir tank.
See Figure 18.

3.
Carefully unthread the inlet filter and clean it with penetrating oil.

4.
Allow the fluid to drain into a suitable container.
NOTE: The reservoir tank has a capacity of 3 gallons and the entire
hydraulic system has a capacity of approximately 4.7 gallons.
5.
Reinstall the filter inlet screen and hose. Tighten the hose clamp.
6.
Check the fluid level using the dipstick. Do not overfill.
NOTE: Approved fluids include Shell Tellus® S2 M 32 Hydraulic Fluid,
Dexron® III / Mercon® automatic transmission fluid, Pro-Select™
AW-32 Hydraulic Oil or 10WAW-ISO viscosity grade 32 hydraulic oil. It
is recommended that fluids not be mixed.
7.
Replace the vented dipstick securely, tightening it until the top of
the threads are flush with top of the pipe.
8.
Disconnect the spark plug and prime the pump by pulling the
recoil starter as far as it will go. Repeat approximately 10 times.
9.
Reconnect the spark plug wire and start the engine following the
instructions in the Operation section of this manual.
10. Use the control handle to engage the wedge to the farthest
extended position. Then retract the wedge.
11. If necessary refill the reservoir within range marked on the
dipstick. See Figure 20.
Dipstick
12. Extend and retract the wedge 12 complete cycles to remove
trapped air in the system (the system is "self-bleeding").
Much of the original fluid has been drawn into the cylinder and hoses.
Make certain to refill the reservoir to prevent damage to the hydraulic
pump. Failure to refill the tank will void the log splitter's warranty.
NOTE: Some fluid may overflow from the vent plug as the system
builds heat and the fluid expands and seeks a balanced level. Do
not operate the log splitter without the proper amount of fluid in the
reservoir tank.
13. Maintain the fluid level within the range specified on the dipstick at
all times. When checking the fluid, always make sure to tighten the
dipstick until the top of the threads are flush with the top of the pipe.
NOTE: Always dispose of any used hydraulic fluid and engine oil at
approved recycling centers only.
