Hydraulic Oil Change

Iron & Oak Commercial Products recommends an oil and filter change every 100 hours

of operation. Refer to the “Specifications” section, in this manual, for the type and quan-

tity of oil.

Important Notice

Never run the log splitter unless the hydraulic oil tank is full.

1. Drain the head end of the cylinder.

a. Remove the spark plug wire and spark

plug to help reduce the back pressure

on the engine and to prevent it from

starting.

b. Disconnect return hose (1) from the oil

filter housing and place it in a waste oil

container. (Please properly dispose of

the waste oil per local regulations.)

c. Extend the cylinder by holding the

valve handle forward and pulling on

the engine’s pull start cord until oil from

the return line stops flowing. This step

drains the head end of the cylinder.

2. Drain the hydraulic tank.

a. Place a waste oil container under inlet

hose (2).

b. Remove the inlet hose from the pump.

c. Slightly lower the front of the log splitter

to completely drain the tank.

3. Remove and replace the oil filter.

a. Remove the existing oil filter and prop-

erly dispose of it.

b. Apply a thin coat of oil to the rubber

seal of the new oil filter.

c. Screw the filter onto the filter head.

Once the filter makes contact with the

filter head, turn it an additional 3/4

turn. Hand-tighten only.
