The recommended oil type for the Clarke 3402025 Log Splitter is hydraulic oil with a viscosity grade of ISO 32 or ISO 46. Ensure the oil is suitable for use in hydraulic log splitters.
It is advised to change the hydraulic oil after every 150 hours of use or at least once a year, depending on which comes first. Regular checks and top-ups are also recommended.
If the log splitter does not start, check the power supply and ensure all connections are secure. Inspect the circuit breaker and reset if necessary. Examine the power switch and replace it if faulty.
To transport the log splitter, ensure it is turned off and unplugged. Secure the splitter in an upright position, and use straps to prevent movement during transport. Use a dolly or hand truck for easier handling.
Regular maintenance includes checking and replacing hydraulic oil, inspecting hoses and connections for leaks, lubricating moving parts, and cleaning debris from the splitter. Ensure all bolts and nuts are tight.
Low hydraulic oil levels or air trapped in the hydraulic system may cause insufficient force. Check oil levels and bleed the system if necessary. Inspect the pump for wear or damage.
To bleed the hydraulic system, extend and retract the ram several times without load. Ensure the oil reservoir cap is loose to allow air to escape. Re-check and top up the oil level if needed.
Yes, but it is recommended to use hydraulic oil suitable for low temperatures. Allow the machine to warm up by running the pump in neutral for a few minutes before operation.
Wear protective gear, including gloves and safety glasses. Ensure the splitter is on a stable surface. Keep hands and limbs clear of moving parts. Do not exceed the recommended log size and follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Regular maintenance, proper storage in a dry place, and using the correct hydraulic oil can extend the lifespan. Avoid overloading the machine and address issues promptly to prevent further damage.
