Your log splitter will need to be filled with hydraulic fluid
before in can be operated. The entire hydraulic system
needs to be filled for the hydraulic ram to function
correctly.
The amount of fluid for proper hydraulic ram operation is
as follows:
LS21: 4 gallons (15.1 liters)
LS27: 4.25 gallons (16.1 liters)
The hydraulic tank is located in the back of the machine.
See hydraulic fluid fill location photos above.
Check the fluid level with the dipstick before each use.
Check the fluid on level ground with the jack stand in the
down position. The hydraulic pump requires premium
hydraulic fluids containing high quality rust, oxidation, and
foam inhibitors. These include premium turbine oils, API
CD engine oils per SAE J183, M2C33F or G automatic
transmission fluids meeting Allison C-3 or Caterpillar TO-
2, and certain specialty agricultural tractor fluids.
DO NOT OVERFILL.
FILL THE HYDRAULIC FLUID TANK WITH THE RAM
