MAKE THE WORKSHOP CHILDPROOF
Lock the shop. Disconnect master switches.
Store the log splitter away from children and others not qualified to use it.
APPLICATION CONDITIONS
This log splitter is a home use model. It is designed for operating under ambient temperatures between 41°Fand
104°F (+5°C and 40°C and for installation at altitudes no more than 3280FT.(1000m) above M.S.L. The
surrounding humidity should less than 50% at 104°F (40°C). It can be stored or transported under ambient
temperatures between -13°F and 131°F (-25°C and 55°C).
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Connect the main leads to a standard 110V+10% (60Hz+1Hz) electrical supply which has protection devices of
under-voltage, overvoltage, over-current as well as a residual current device (RCD) which maximum residual
current rated at 0.03A.

ASSEMBLY
Following the assembly directions below, you will assemble
the log splitter in a few minutes.
Align the holes and assemble the wheels onto the rear
frame. Secure the connection with bolts, washers and
clips. Attach the caps onto the wheels.
KNOW YOUR MACHINE
Bleed Screw
1. Before operating the log splitter, the Bleed Screw should be loosened by some rotations until air can go in and
out of the oil tank smoothly.
2. Air flow thru the Bleed Screw hole should be detectable during the log splitter is under operations. Before moving
the log splitter, make sure the Bleed Screw is tightened to avoid oil leaking from this point.
Failed to loosen the bleed screw will keep the sealed air in hydraulic system being compressed after being
decompressed. Such continuous air compression and decompression will blow out the seals of the hydraulic
system and cause permant damage to the log splitter.

Max Pressure Limiting Screw
Do not adjust the max pressure limiting screw !
1. Max pressure was set before the log splitter ex work and the max pressure limiting screw is sealed with glue to
ensure the log splitter works under pressure no more than 132271lbs (6Ton). The setting was done by qualified
mechanic with professional instruments.
2. Unauthorized resetting will cause the hydraulic pump fail to output enough splitting pressure or RESULT IN
SERIOUS INJURY AS WELL AS DAMAGE TO THE MACHINE.
OPERATION
Use two M8X50 bolts fix the machine on level ground.
Operator must be positioned at the control end of the
log splitter behind the dashed line
shown when the ram is being operated.
This log splitter is equipped with “ZHB” control system that
requires to be operated by both hands of the user - Lef t
hand controls the hydraulic control lever while right hand
controls the pushbutton switch.
The log splitter will freeze upon absence of either hand.
Only after both hands release the controls, the log pusher
starts to return backward to the starting position.
Trigger type lock-out device is adopted to avoid accidental
Hydraulic Control Lever pushdown. To operate the
Hydraulic Control Lever, draw the Trigger backward
with the index finger before push the Hydraulic
Control Lever forward.
Never force the log splitter for more than 5 seconds by
keeping pressure on it to split excessively hard wood.
After this time interval, the oil under pressure will be
overheated and the machine could be damaged. For
such extremely hard log, rotate it by 90o to see
whether it can be split in a different direction. In
any case, if you are not able to split the log, this
means that its hardness exceeds the capacity
of the machine and thus that log should be
discarded to protect the log splitter.
Always set logs firmly on the log retaining plates and
work table.
Make sure logs will not twist, rock or slip while being
split. Do not force the blade by splitting the log on the
upper part. This will break the blade or damage the
machine.

7
Break log in the direction of its growing grain. Do not place
log across the log splitter for splitting. It may be dangerous
and may seriously damage the machine.
Do not attempt to split 2 pieces of logs at the same time.
One of them may fly up and hit you.
FREEING A JAMMED LOG
1. Release both controls.
2. After the log pusher moves back and completely stops at
its starting position,
insert a wedge wood under the jammed log.
3. Start the log splitter to push the wedge wood to go
completely under the jammed one.
4. Repeat above procedure with sharper slope wedge
woods until the log is completely freed.
Do not try to knock the jammed log off. Knocking
about will damage the machine or may launch
the log and cause accident.

REPLACING
HYDRAULIC OIL
Replace the Hydraulic oil in the log splitter after every 150
hours of use. Take following steps to replace it.
1. Make sure all moving parts stops and the log splitter is
unplugged.
2. Unscrew Oil Drain Bolt with Dipstick to remove it.
3. Turn the log splitter on the Support Leg side over an
4 liters capacity container to drain the hydraulic oil off.
4. Turn the log splitter on the the motor side.
5. Refill fresh hydraulic oil at the volume as per the hydraulic
oil capacity of a particular model indicated in above
specifications table.
6. Clean the surface of Dipstick on the Oil Drain Bolt and put
it back into the oil tank while keep the log splitter vertically.
7. Make sure the level of the refilled oil is just between
2 grooves around the Dipstick.
8. Clean the Oil Drain Bolt before thread them back. Make
sure they are tightened to avoid leakage before place
the log splitter horizontally.
Periodically check oil level to ensure it is between
2 grooves around the Dipstick. Upon Lower oil level,
oil refilling is required.
Following hydraulic oils or equivalent are recommend for the
log splitter’s hydraulic transmission system:
SHELL Tellus 22
MOBIL DTE 11
ARAL Vitam GF 22
BP Energol HLP-HM 22
SHARPENING WEDGE
After using the log splitters for some time, sharpen the wedge of the log splitter using a fine-toothed file and smooth
any burrs or crushed area along the cutting edge.
