How To Bleed Hydraulic Cylinder For A Log Splitter?

Bleeding the hydraulic cylinder in a log splitter is crucial for maintaining optimal performance and addressing issues such as slow or weak operation. Follow these steps to bleed the hydraulic cylinder in a log splitter:

1. Safety First: Before beginning any maintenance tasks, ensure the log splitter is turned off, the engine is cooled down, and the hydraulic system is depressurized. Also, put on appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and safety glasses.
2. Locate Bleed Valve: Identify the bleed valve on the hydraulic cylinder. It is typically a small screw or valve positioned on the cylinder body or near the hydraulic connections.
3. Positioning: Place the log splitter in a stable and level position to ensure safe and efficient bleeding of the hydraulic cylinder. Make sure the bleed valve is accessible.
4. Prepare Collection Container: Position a suitable container beneath the bleed valve to catch any hydraulic fluid that may be released during the bleeding process.
5. Open Bleed Valve: Using an appropriate wrench or tool, carefully open the bleed valve by turning it counterclockwise. This will allow air and trapped fluid to escape.
6. Start the Engine: Start the log splitter’s engine and let it run at idle. This action will activate the hydraulic pump, allowing fluid to flow through the system.
7. Operate the Control Handle: Engage the control handle or lever that activates the hydraulic cylinder. Move the control handle to the extend or retract position, depending on the desired action. This will help create hydraulic pressure and force any trapped air out of the cylinder.
8. Observe Fluid Flow: Watch the fluid flow from the bleed valve. Initially, air bubbles may be present, but as the bleeding process continues, the fluid should become consistent and free of air. Allow the fluid to flow for some time to ensure all air is expelled.
9. Close Bleed Valve: Once the fluid flows smoothly without air bubbles, close the bleed valve by turning it clockwise. Take care not to overtighten it.
10. Check Fluid Level: Inspect the hydraulic fluid level in the reservoir. If necessary, add the recommended hydraulic fluid to maintain the proper level. Refer to the log splitter’s manual for the correct type and specifications of hydraulic fluid.
11. Test Operation: With the hydraulic cylinder bled and fluid level checked, test the log splitter’s operation. Engage the control handle and observe the cylinder’s performance. It should operate smoothly and provide adequate force for splitting logs.
12. Repeat if Necessary: In some cases, stubborn air pockets may require multiple bleeding cycles. Repeat the bleeding process if you still notice air in the system or experience poor performance.
