The spent oil must be replaced with new oil of the type indicated on page 28 every 400 hours of
operation. To change the oil, proceed as follows.
•
Make sure that the log pusher of the machine is fully retracted.
•
Unscrew the cap shown in Fig. 7/A on page 3 and remove it completely.
•
Position a container under the log splitter that can hold 4 litres of oil; then tilt the machine to empty
the oil (Fig. 7/B).
•
Tilt the machine in the other direction (Fig. 7/C) and pour in 2.6 litres of oil of one of the types indicated
on page 28.
•
Clean the dipstick and insert it to check that the oil level is between the two notches on the stem.
•
Clean the cap and washer thoroughly and re-tighten completely but carefully so as not to break the
threading of the cap.
