Regular maintenance is the way to ensure the best performance and long life of your machine.
  • Replace hydraulic oil every 100 hours of use. AW32 universal hydraulic oil is highly recommended.
  • Raise the wheel end of the splitter 10 in. off the ground. See FIGURE 8
  • Place a container no less than 1.5 gallon of capacity under the front end of the splitter.
  • Using a 19mm wrench or an adjustable wrench to remove the oil drain bolt.
  • Disconnect the vent plug to allow the oil to drain into the container.
  • Stand the splitter upright once the oil is drained. Refill the reservoir tank with fresh hydraulic oil (1 gallon)
    until oil level reaches the maximum line on the dipstick. See FIGURE 5 on Page 6.
  • Put the oil drain bolt back and tighten.
  • Level down the machine and operate it unloaded. Hold the control handle to engage the ram to the farthest position
    and then release the control handle to retract the ram fully. Repeat this operation for 12 cycles to repel the air.
  • Dispose old oil at an oil recycling center.
  • Sharpen the wedge when it gets dull or nicked. Using a fine-toothed file, smooth any burrs or crushed areas along the
    cutting edge.
  • Periodically clean the machine using an oiled rag to prevent rust.
  • Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum based products, penetrating lubricants, etc., come in contact with
    plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or destroy plastic which may result in serious personal injury.
  • ALWAYS unplug from the power source while repairing or adjusting the splitter.
  • Replace all damaged or worn parts immediately that must meet manufacturer’s specifications
