REPLACING THE HYDRAULIC OIL
Replace the Hydraulic oil in the log
splitter after every 150 hours of use as
follows.
• Make sure all moving parts stops and
the log splitter is unplugged.
• Unscrew Oil Drain Bolt with Dipstick to
remove it.
• Turn the log splitter on the Support
Leg side over a 4 litres capacity
container to drain the hydraulic oil off.
• Turn the log splitter on the motor
side.
• Refill with fresh hydraulic oil to the
volume given for a particular model in
technical specifications table.
• Clean the surface of Dipstick attached
to the Oil Drain Bolt and put it back
into the oil tank while keep the log
splitter vertical.
• Make sure the level of the refilled oil
is just between 2 grooves around the
Dipstick.
• Clean the Oil Drain Bolt threads before
re-inserting. Make sure it is tightened
to avoid leakage before placing the log
splitter horizontal.
Periodically check oil level to ensure it is between the 2 grooves
around the Dipstick. When the oil level reaches the lower grove, oil
refilling is required.
The following hydraulic oils or equivalent are recommended for the
log splitter's hydraulic transmission system: SHELL Tellus 22,
MOBIL DTE 11, ARAL Vitam GF 22, BP Energol HLP-HM 22
