Guard to the Frame using a 9/16" Socket and Ratchet to remove the right

pumps of All Purpose Grease (Figure 26).

Changing Engine Oil (Gas Engine Model)

One of the easiest methods to remove oil from this Engine is to use a siphon
style Oil Extractor. If you do not have one you can purchase it from us at
www.DRpower.com.

Tools and Supplies needed:



Clean Approved Container for used Oil



10mm Wrench

1. Place an approved Container under the Oil Plug.

2. Remove the Oil Drain Plug with a 10mm Wrench to drain the Oil into the

Container (Figure 27).

3. Reinstall the Oil Drain Plug.

4. Add oil as described in “Adding Oil and Gasoline” in Chapter 2.

Rail Maintenance

Between each use of the LOG SPLITTER, we recommend applying a rust
preventative (Fluid Film or equivalent) to any bare metal areas on the top of the
rail (Figure 28). This will assure the smoothest return action of the ram.
