SOURCE: whay kind of hydraulic fluid do I use in a mtd

Hi,

You can use 10W AW hydraulic fluid or Dexron III automatic transmission fluid. It takes approximately 4 gallons. You need to change the fluid after every 100 hours of usage.

Hope i helped you.

Thanks for using ' Fixya ' and have a nice day!!

We have one of these splitters and the only problem has been a control valve sticking down. Oiled the valve button with silicon oil which seems to have helped. Be sure to close the bleeder valve when putting the machine away. We bought the machine from Home Depot. Use some headphones for your music! We have split rounds much larger than recommended by splitting from different sides. Hope this helps!

Plug a known working lamp into the power socket to verify that power is there. This unit should be used on a 20 ampere circuit and use a heavy 12 gauge extension cord if required. When the motor runs, it also drives the pump. The pump could be in poor condition or the piston may be passing hydraulic fluid by it. Service of these units should be left to an experienced hydraulic mechanic who will have the necessary pressure gauges and other specific tools. If you just obtained this splitter, take it back for warranty service or replacement. Hydraulic service is not cheap! Hope this helps!

SOURCE: What type of motor oil

If you are using it mainly at 30 degrees or above I would use straight 30 weight non-detergent oil.If you use it at lower temperatures then I would use 10w-30.That's what I run in mine and it's running great after 16 years. Thank you.
