Problem	Possible Causes	Recommended Remedy
Motor does not run	Overload protection device disengaged to protect the log splitter from being damaged	Contact a qualified electrician for opening the switch box to engage the overload protection device inside
The machine fails to split logs	Log is improperly positioned The sizes or hardness of the log exceeds the capacity of the machine Wedge cutting edge is blunt Oil leaks Unauthorized adjustment was made on Max. Pressure Limiting Screw. Lower max pressure rating was set	Reload the log Reduce the log size
The log pusher moves jerkily, generating unusual noise or vibrating a lot	Lack of hydraulic oil and excessive air in the hydraulic system	Check oil level. Refill the hydraulic oil if needed
Oil leaks around the ram or from other points	Air sealed in hydraulic system while operating Bleed screw is not tightened before moving the log splitter Oil drain bolt with dipstick is not tightened Hydraulic control valve assembly and/or seal(s) is worn	Loosen bleed screw by 3 ~ 4 rotations before operating the log splitter Tighten the bleed screw up before moving the log splitter Tighten the oil drain bolt with dipstick
