
You must add hydraulic fluid before using the splitter. This machine is
shipped without hydraulic fluid in the hydraulic tank. When performing
the following procedures, fill the hydraulic tank slowly, checking the level
frequently to avoid overfilling.

To get an accurate reading when checking the hydraulic fluid level:
- the machine should be on a level surface.
- the dipstick should be pushed in fully to ensure an accurate fluid level
reading.

Much of the original fluid has been drawn into the cylinder and hoses.
Make certain to refill the reservoir to prevent damage to the hydraulic
pump. DO NOT OVERFILL.
