Refer to the Engine Operator’s Manual for all engine maintenance
instructions.
Tire Pressure
See the sidewall of the tire for recommended pressure. Do not, under
any circumstances, exceed manufacturer’s recommended psi. Maintain
equal pressure on all tires.
WARNING! Excessive pressure when seating beads
may cause tire/rim assembly to burst with force sufficient
to cause serious injury. Refer to the sidewall of tire for
recommended pressure.
Hydraulic Fluid & Inlet Filter
Check the hydraulic fluid level in the log splitter reservoir tank before
each use. Maintain the fluid level within the range specified on the

hours of operation. Follow the steps below:
1. Place a suitable oil collection container under the tank.
2. If your engine has a horizontal engine set-up shown in Figure 6-1,
see Figure 6-1 for changing the hydraulic fluid. If your engine has a
vertical set-up shown in Figure 6-2, see Figure 6-2 for changing
the hydraulic fluid.
