To change positions, remove the Hair Pin Clip (29) and the Push Pin (26). A close-up of this Push Pin (26) is shown in FIGURE 3 on page 5. Tilt the unit to the vertical position as shown in FIGURE 4, and replace both the Push Pin (26) and the Hair Pin Clip (29) into the vertical position hole (See FIGURE 1). Reverse the process to return to the horizontal position. 1. Remove the Oil Plug (37) and fill the tank with Hydraulic oil (not included). To check the oil level remove the Dipstick (62), check the level then replace it. The oil should be at the upper notch of the Dipstick. Be sure that a constant oil level of 2.5 gallons is maintained. See FIGURE 3 on page 5, Parts List page 9, and Assembly Diagram page 10. 2. The hydraulic system must be vented during operation or it may become vacuum locked and stop working properly. To vent the system, open the air inlet hole (See FIGURE 3) by loosening the Oil Plug. You may have to move the o-ring to expose the air inlet vent. When the Log Splitter is not in operation or being transported, close the air inlet hole by tightening the Oil Plug (37). 3. Make certain that the maximum length of each log does not exceed 25 inches with a diameter of 8 inches. Vertical Position Place Log Here Base REV 07e 4. Place the log on the Splitter Base as shown in FIGURES 1 and 4. Make sure the wedge on the Slide Assembly (3) is facing the log. (See FIGURE 1). 5. After reading and following all of the setup, safety, and operation warnings in the Robin® Operating Manual, turn on the engine. See FIGURE 5. Set the engine’s throttle all the way to the fast setting (represented by the rabbit, left in the picture below). Operation (continued) FIGURE 5 (9 HP Engine Shown) Throttle Choke Starter Cord WARNING!! Stand clear of the splitting area. No spectators should be within twenty feet of the log splitting area. Wood projectiles can fly in any direction. FIGURE 6 6. Grip the Directional Valve (58) and move it into the lower position to move the Slide Assembly (3) toward the log to split it. 7. Once the log is split, remove the split pieces. To back the wedge off the log, move the Directional Valve (58) away from the log you just split. Directional Handle (58) To stop movement of the Log Splitter, move the Directional Valve (58) into the midpoint. Do not go near the splitting area if the Slide Assembly (3) is moving. 8. Continue repeating the above steps until all of the logs are split. Maintenance The engine must be off when performing any maintenance. If the unit was recently used, make sure that the engine has cooled to avoid burns. 1. After every use, wipe down the Log Splitter to remove any tree sap or dirt. This will extend the life of the unit. Always keep the wedge and base clean. 2. When storing, make sure the Log Splitter is locked in a location where children cannot reach it. 3. Read the maintenance section of the engine manual and follow all of the procedures. Note: The recommended interval for changing the hydraulic oil and filter is approximately every 3 months. 4. BEFORE Transporting, inspect the general condition of the Trailer. Check for loose Bolts and Nuts, misalignment or binding of moving parts, cracked, bent, or broken parts, excessively worn Safety Chain , damaged Tail Lights/Side Running Lights/Wiring Harness, loose Lug Nuts, loose Hitch connection, and any other condition that may affect its safe operation. If abnormal noise or vibration occurs, have the problem corrected before further use. Do not use damaged equipment. 5. BEFORE Transporting, check the Tires for wear and proper inflation (60 PSI). 6. Before Transporting and At 500 MILE intervals during Every trip, check and tighten the Tire Lug Nuts. Torque from 85 to 90 ft-lb. 7. EVERY 2,000 TO 3,000 MILES OF Travel, lubricate the Hub Assemblies with a heavy weight bearing grease. Follow the Bearing Packing Instructions as explained on the last page of this manual. After each Hub Assembly is reassembled, tighten the Castle Nut until the wheel starts spinning with slight resistance. Loosen the Castle Nut about 1/2 turn from this point. Insert a new Cotter Pin through the Castle Nut and the hole in the axle. Bend the Pin back, locking it and the Nut in place. Bleeding the Hydraulic System If the Log Splitter begins to lose power or splitting efficiency, it may be a result of air becoming trapped in the hydraulic system. Follow the steps below to bleed air from the system. 1. Loosen the Oil Plug (37) and make sure the o-ring is out of the way to expose the air hole in the Oil Plug (37). 2. Remove the spark plug from the engine (see engine manual) to keep the engine from starting during this process. 3. Push the Directional Valve (58) forward, toward the front of the Cylinder (1) (see FIGURE 1). 4. Pull the engine starter cord 10-15 times until the hydraulic cylinder piston moves forward. CAUTION: Keep everything away from the splitting edge during this process. 5. Tighten the Oil Plug (37). 6. Replace the spark plug....
