p WARNING! Ensure you read, understand and apply the safety

instructions in Section 1 before use.

p WARNING! This system has been designed to prevent the

operator from handling the log during the splitting process.

For safety reasons the operator must not ask a second

person to place or handle the log. The system is designed to

be operated by one person only.

p WARNING! Always split a log along its grain. Never attempt to

split a log laid across the machine as this could be dangerous

for the operator and could seriously damage the splitter.

Never attempt to split a log if it is sitting at an angle.

4.1. Pump the foot pedal of the hydraulic pump to raise the splitter

log support to a suitable working height.

4.2. Place a log securely on the log support.

4.3. When logs of approximately the same length are to be split, the

wedge can be set to avoid having to pump the ram to operate

through it's full stroke every time. Pull both of the wedge release

pins out of the locating holes in the post, and adjust the wedge

as near to the log as possible and replace the wedge release

pins ensuring that they have both located into a hole - Make

sure the wedge release pins are firmly seated in the post holes

before continuing - the wedge may have to be raised slightly to

do this.

4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

5.1. Hydraulic pump.

To add oil to the hydraulic pump:

5.1.1. Remove the two springs from the log support and undo the 2

allen bolts, remove the hydraulic unit from the base unit.

5.1.2. Position the hydraulic unit vertically and remove the round rubber

oil plug on the back of the unit's housing. Using a piece of wire or

similar, dip into the oil to check it's level. It should be

immediately below the plug hole (¾ full). Add hydraulic jack oil if

required (see 5.1.4. for specification).

5.1.3. Replace the rubber oil plug and re-assemble the log splitter.

5.1.4. After one year the hydraulic oil should be replaced in order to

extend the life of the unit. Use hydraulic jack oil only.

IMPORTANT: Only fully qualified personnel should attempt

hydraulic maintenance or repair.

NOTE: Use a good quality hydraulic jack oil, such as SEALEY

HYDRAULIC JACK OIL.

p WARNING! DO NOT use brake fluid, or any fluid other than

hydraulic jack oil, as this may cause serious damage to the

pump and will invalidate the warranty.

5.1.5. When draining the oil make sure that no dirt is allowed to

enter the hydraulic unit.

5.1.6. Periodically check the hydraulic unit's piston and ram for signs

of corrosion. Clean exposed areas with a clean oiled cloth.

5.2. Hydraulic pump will not lift.

5.2.1. The oil level may be low. Check oil level as described in section

5.1.2. and top up if necessary.

5.2.2. The pump may have air trapped in the system. To eliminate

trapped air, open the release valve by pushing on the release

lever and pump the foot pedal of the pump at the same time,

through its full stroke, five or six times. Close the release valve.

5.2.3. Hydraulic pump's piston 'O' ring seal may have become worn. If

this is suspected take the jack to an approved agent for

servicing.
