GENERALRECOMMENDATIONS
• Always observe safety rules when performing any
maintenance.
• The warranty on this log splitter does not cover
items that have been subjected to operator abuse
or negligence. To receive full value from the
warranty, operator must maintain the equipment
as instructed in this manual.
• Some adjustments will need to be made
periodically to maintain your equipment properly.
• Follow the maintenance schedule.
• Periodically check all fasteners and make sure
they are tight.
WARNING: Always stop the engine and
disconnect and ground the spark plug
wire before performing any maintenance
or adjustments.
HydraulicFluid
• Check the hydraulic fluid level in the log splitter
reservoir tank before each use. Maintain fluid
level within the range specified on the dipstick at
all times.
• Change the hydraulic fluid in the reservoir every
100 hours of operation. Disconnect the suction
hose from the bottom of the reservoir tank and
drain the fluid into a suitable container. Refill
using only Dexron IIIautomatic transmission fluid
or 10W AW hydraulic fluid.
NOTE: Drain the fluid and flush the reservoir tank
and hoses with kerosene whenever any repair work
is performed on the tank, hydraulic pump, or valve.
Contaminants in the fluid will damage the hydraulic
components. Any repair to the hydraulic components
should be performed by a Sears Service Center.
WARNING: Use extreme caution when
working with kerosene. It is an
extremely flammable fluid.
HydraulicFilter
• Change the hydraulic filter every 50 hours of
operation. Use only a 10 micron hydraulic filter.
BeamAndSplittingWedge
Lubricate both sides of the beam (where it comes into
contact with the splitting wedge) before each use with
engine oil. The wedge plate on the log splitter is
designed so the gibs on the side of the wedge plate
can be removed and rotated and/or turned over for
even wear. Make certain to readjust the adjustment
bolts so wedge moves freely, but no excess space
exists between the wedge plate and beam.See the
Adjustment Section.
