Daily Checklist for the DR 22-TON VERTICAL/HORIZONTAL WOOD SPLITTER
To help maintain your DR 22-TON VERTICAL/HORIZONTAL WOOD SPLITTER for optimum
performance, we recommend you follow this checklist each time you use your machine.
[ ] OIL: With the machine on a level surface, check the engine oil level with the dipstick and add more if
necessary (only add oil to the level indicated on the dipstick - DO NOT OVERFILL). Use SAE 30
high detergent motor oil.
[ ] GAS: Fill the gas tank with clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline. Make sure the fuel shut-off valve on the front
of the engine is open. Always close the fuel shut-off valve when storing your machine.
[ ] ENGINE AIR COOLING SYSTEM: It is very important to keep the engine clean of debris. Remove wood
chips and other built-up materials from the air intake screen before, during and after you run the
splitter. Regularly remove debris from the cooling fins. A dirty engine retains heat and can cause
damage to the internal engine parts.
[ ] WEDGE: Check the wedge for tightness, nicks and wear.
[ ] GENERAL CONDITION: Check the general condition of the machine ( e.g.; nuts, bolts, welds etc.).
[ ] SLIDE RAIL: Apply a rust preventative (Fluid Film or equivalent) to any bare metal areas on the top of the
rail. This will assure the longest possible service life of the wear pads.
