OpERATION
SET Up AND pREpARATION
NOTE: Before operating the log splitter, the bleed screw should be loosened by 3-4 rotations so air can go in
and out of the oil tank smoothly. Air flow thru the bleed screw hole should be detectable during log splitter
operation. Before moving the log splitter, make sure the bleed screw is tightened to avoid oil leakage from
this point.
CAUTION
Failure to loosen the bleed screw will result in
air being compressed and decompressed in the
hydraulic system. Continuous air compression
and decompression will blow out the seals of the
hydraulic system and cause permanent damage
to the log splitter.
CAUTION
DO NOT adjust the maximum pressure limiting
screw. The pressure limiting screw has been sealed
at the factory to prevent unauthorized adjusting.
Resetting the screw will cause the hydraulic pump
to fail to output enough splitting pressure or cause
too much pressure, which may result in serious
injury, as well as damage to the machine.
1. Before attempting to use, familiarize yourself with all the
operating features and safety requirements of your log splitter.

lift the log splitter by the handles at both ends and place it on a 60-75cm
high, stable, flat and level work surface.
Never use the log splitter if it is not in perfect order or if it needs servicing.
Before starting work, check correct functioning of all the safety devices
(ZHB, push button).

ASSEMbLY
1. Before operating the log splitter, it is necessary to fit the rolling wheel (2) Fig. 2, on supporting shaft
(1) as shown. Insert the wheels on the shaft, block it using the washer (3), and fasten by the lock nut (4).
2. Assemble the supporting leg on the machine body, use the two bolts, washers to fasten the supporting
leg on the machine body.
3. Use the bolts to fasten the safety guard on the supporting bracket to protect the ZHB hydraulic control lever.
