SPECIFICATIONS on page 22 for
See
fuel tank capacity.
EN - 14
Page 15
IMPORTANT: DO NOT OVERFILL! This
equipment and/or its engine may include
evaporative emissions control system
components, required to meet EPA and/or
CARB regulations, that will only function
properly when the fuel tank has been filled to
the recommended level. Overfilling may
cause permanent damage to evaporative
emissions control system components. Filling
to the recommended level ensures a vapor
gap required to allow for fuel expansion. Pay
close attention while filling the fuel tank to
ensure that the recommended fuel level
inside the tank is not exceeded. Use a
portable gasoline container with an
appropriately sized dispensing spout when
filling the tank. Do not use a funnel or other
device that obstructs the view of the tank
filling process.
4. Replace fuel cap and tighten.
5. ALWAYS clean up spilled fuel.
GASOLINE
IMPORTANT: ALWAYS use gasoline that
meets the following guidelines:
• Clean, fresh gasoline.
• A minimum of 87 octane/87 AKI (91
RON). High altitude use may require a
different octane. Consult your engine
manual.
• Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol
(gasohol) or up to 15% MTBE (methyl
tertiary butyl ether) is acceptable.
• Use of any gasoline other than those
approved above may void the engine
warranty. If the pumps are not marked
for the content of alcohol or ethers,
check ethanol and MTBE levels with
the fuel supplier.
• Do not modify the fuel system to use
different fuels.
• Never mix oil and gasoline.
NOTICE: All gasoline is not the same. If the
engine experiences starting or performance
problems after using a new gasoline, switch
to a different fuel provider or fuel brand.
IMPORTANT: Excessively oxygenated or
reformulated fuels (fuels blended with
alcohols or ethers) can damage the fuel
system or cause performance problems. If
any undesirable operating problems occur,
use a gasoline with a lower percentage of
alcohol or ether.
Fuel Stabilizer
Gasoline left in the fuel system for extended
periods without a stabilizer will deteriorate,
resulting in gum deposits in the system.
These deposits can damage the carburetor
and the fuel hoses, filter and tank. Prevent
deposits from forming in the fuel system
during storage by adding a quality fuel
stabilizer to the fuel. Follow the
recommended mix ratio found on the fuel
stabilizer container.
Start Engine
1. Make sure control lever is in neutral
position.

caution over rough terrain.
Check Tire Pressure
CAUTION: Avoid injury!
Explosive separation of tire and
rim parts is possible when they
are serviced incorrectly:
• Do not attempt to mount a
tire without the proper
equipment and experience to
perform the job.
• Do not inflate the tires above
the recommended pressure.
• Do not weld or heat a wheel
and tire assembly. Heat can
cause an increase in air
pressure resulting in an
explosion. Welding can
structurally weaken or
deform the wheel.
• Do not stand in front or over
the tire assembly when
inflating. Use a clip-on chuck
and extension hose long
enough to allow you to stand
to one side.
See SPECIFICATIONS on page 22 for tire
pressure.
OPERATION
Work Site
Set up log splitter in an area that provides:
• a dry level surface.
• good footing that is free of debris or
other tripping hazards.
• sufficient clearance for engine exhaust
to not blow directly on combustible
material.
Disconnect the log splitter from the tow
vehicle before operating. If splitting logs in the
horizontal position, move rear stabilizer to
work position
on page 14). Chock the wheels to prevent
movement during operation.
Warm Up Unit
When using the unit in temperatures of 68°
F (20° C) or lower, the hydraulic system
should be cycled before splitting logs. This
allows the cool hydraulic oil in the cylinder to
be circulated before placing a load on the
hydraulic system.
1. Start the engine and allow it warm up
(see Start Engine on page 15).
2. Cycle the cylinder through three or four
full extension/retraction cycles.
3. Proceed with splitting logs.
IMPORTANT: Always split logs with engine
set at Fast position.
EN - 16
(see Rear Stabilizer (Item 12)
Page 17
Splitting Logs
WARNING: AVOID INJ U RY.
Read and understand the entire
Safety section before proceeding.
Determine if the size of the logs to be split
can be safely and comfortably lifted up onto
the beam in the horizontal position. If logs are
too heavy for the operator, position the beam
in the vertical position for splitting.
CAUTION: During operation,
engine and hydraulic system are
hot. Always stop engine and allow
unit to cool before changing beam
positions.
Working only in the Operator Zone (see
OPERATOR ZONE on page 9):
1. Fully retract cylinder.
2. Place log on beam:
• Split only from log ends, with the grain.
• Position log against grips on end plate
with the squarest end toward the
splitter edge.
• Position hands on sides of logs when
placing logs on unit and not on the
end. Never place hands or any part of
the body between a log and any part
of the log splitter.
• Do not attempt to stabilize logs with
legs or feet while operating.
3. Using only your hand, push the control
lever toward the log.
4. Hold the lever in the out position until log
is split.
5. Allow split logs to drop to the ground.
DO NOT try to catch split logs.
6. Move control lever away from the log
until it locks into retract position. Lever
will automatically return to neutral once
cylinder is fully retracted.
7. Do not load another log or remove split
pieces until the cylinder has completely
stopped and the control lever is in the
neutral position. Do not reach across the
unit.
8. Split only one log at a time unless the
cylinder has been fully extended and a
second log is needed to complete the
separation of the first log.
9. Move split logs as necessary to ensure
that all tripping hazards have been
eliminated from the operator zone.
FOR BEST PERFORMANCE
• Ensure that logs to be split are cut as
square as possible.
• Split dry, cured logs. Wet or recently
cut logs will be more difficult to split.
• Split logs with straight grain. Logs with
knots or twisted or irregular grain
patterns will be more difficult to split.
• Move split logs as needed to keep
operator zone free of tripping hazards.
• When splitting logs that are not square
place the longest portion of the log
closest to the beam and the most
square end against the splitter wedge.
