AIR BLEED SCREW
Before operating the log splitter, the Bleed
Screw should be loosened a few turns until air
can flow in and out of the oil tank smoothly.
Air flow through the Bleed Screw hole should be
detectable during log splitter operation. Before
moving the log splitter, make sure the Bleed
Screw is tightened to avoid oil leaking from this
point.
IMPORTANT: failure to loosen the bleed screw will keep
air sealed in the hydraulic system, being compressed and
being decompressed. Such continuous air compression
and decompression will blow out the seals of the hydraulic
system and cause permanent damage to the log splitter.

TWO HANDED CONTROL
This log splitter is equipped with
a two handed control system —
One hand controls the hydraulic
control lever while the other
hand controls the push button
switch or throttle control. The log
splitter will freeze upon absence
of either hand. Only after both
hands release the controls, will
the log pusher start to return
backward to the starting position.
To split a log, press and hold the
button to start the electric motor
(or throttle for the petrol engine)
then move the lever to advance
the ram. Never move the lever
before pressing the button or the
throttle.
