Hey Guys,

Got a little 9 ton POWERHOUSE electric splitter.
I've ran it off & on for about 2 yrs now.
It's been a real back & time saver.

Keep it plugged it & putting in work in our garage.
How often should I change the hydraulic fluid and is there anything else to look at maintenance wise?
This splitter has really been reliable and handy...yet like anything its gonna need something sooner or later...just trying to stay ahead of the disaster curve.

Appreciate it.

No need to change the fluid unless it has been compromised (water, dirt, etc). Check the level of fluid for proper operation is about the only maintenance function there is.
Normal wear of seals and pump are just that - normal. Not much you can do about it.
