Daily Checklist for the DR 20-Ton WOOD
SPLITTER

To help maintain your DR 20-Ton WOOD SPLITTER for optimum performance, we
recommend you follow this checklist each time you use your machine.

[ ] OIL: With the splitter on a level surface, remove the oil fill cap and check the oil

level. Fill the reservoir according to the dipstick with SAE 10W-30W HD motor oil.
(See page 17)

[ ] GAS: Fill the gas tank with fresh, unleaded gasoline. See page 17.

[ ] ENGINE: It is very important to keep the engine clean. Remove dirt and other

debris from the engine cooling fins and debris guard. A dirty engine retains heat
and can cause damage to internal engine components.

[ ] HARDWARE: Check all nuts and bolts to be sure that the components are secure.

[ ] FRAME: Check all welds to be sure that the frame is in tact and secure.

[ ] WEAR PLATES: Make sure that the Wear Plates attached to the Push Block are

firmly bolted into place. (See page 24)

[ ] GREASE: Make sure that Push Block and the top of the H-Beam are well

lubricated with grease. (See page 24)

[ ] HYDRAULIC HOSES: Inspect the hydraulic hoses for frayed, worn, kinked, or

abraded areas. Replace any damaged or worn hoses immediately. (See page 28)
