The following hydraulic oils are recommended for the hydraulic transmission system of the log splitter:
Shell Tellus 22

periods of operation, and when required, sharpen the wedge using a fine toothed file removing any burrs
or flat spots on the edge.

If the oil level is too low, the oil pump can be damaged,
whereas overfilling can lead to overheating of the
hydraulic system. Therefore check the oil level regularly
with the dipstick - see picture on the left!
Waste oils are toxic and must never be
discharged into the environment. If
necessary, contact your local authorities
for information on proper disposal.
Change the hydraulic oil:
Remove the oil drain plug to drain the oil from the
hydraulic system.
Use a drip pan to collect waste oil and particles.
Inspect the oil for metal chips. (Metal chips in the oil
are an indication of increased wear.)
After the oil has been completely drained from the
machine, reinstall the drain plug.
Top up the recommended fresh hydraulic oil via the oil
filler plug.
After changing the oil, actuate the wood splitter
several times without actually splitting any wood.
Use a dipstick to check the oil level.
The
gearbox
is pre-serviced using SAE90 gear oil.
Drain the gear oil after first 25 hours of use and refill
with fresh oil as specified.
Then change after every 250 hours of use or every six
months, whichever is earlier.
After each oil change check that the correct amount
of oil has been poured into the gearbox.
Check oil level every 8 hours: Oil level is correct if the
lower edge of the inspection hole is nearly covered
with oil.
