IMPORTANT: BEFORE OPERATING THIS LOG SPLITTER, READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS MANUAL COMPLETELY.
BECOME FAMILIAR WITH IT FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY. TO FAIL TO DO SO MAY CAUSE SERIOUS
INJURY. DO NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO OPERATE YOUR LOG SPLITTER WHO HAS NOT READ THIS
MANUAL. READ EACH STEP COMPLETELY BEFORE PROCEEDING.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: The following instructions pertain to four SpeeCo log splitters, the 22 ton (LS401221), 25 ton (LS401216), 28 ton (LS401213)
and the 34 ton (LS401224). The four models share most of the component parts. Any dif ferences are noted in the parts list and assembly
instructions.
NOTE: This log splitter was partially assembled at the factory. Refer to the drawing and parts list should it become necessary to disassemble the
unit for repair or replacement of parts.
STEP 1: Remove all the components from the crate. Inspect each piece for shipping damage. If any part is damaged, contact your dealer or
delivering carrier.
STEP 2: Attach the tongue (3) to the tank/axle (2) as shown in the diagram using the two 1/2 in. NC x 4-1/2 in. hex cap screws (48), 1/2 in.
lockwashers (47) and 1/2 in. NC hex nuts (46) from the hardware kit. Tighten. Make sure the ground stand (24) is in the vertical position.
NOTE: Flatwashers are included in the hardware kit should it be necessary to use them as spacers. This will eliminate play between the
tongue and the tank/tongue mounting plate.
STEP 3: Remove the rubber covering from the two spindles on the tank/axle (2). The wheel bearing cups, bearing cones, grease seals and hub
caps are already assembled. Bearing cones have been greased at the factory. Remove the hub cap (62) by prying it loose with a
common tip screwdriver. Mount the wheels (54) to the spindles on the tank/axle (2) using the 3/4 in. light flatwasher (59) and the
3/4 in. slotted nut (60) from the hardware kit. Tighten the nut until bearing play is removed and the wheel will still rotate freely. Install the
cotter pin (61) and hub cap (62). Repeat step 4 for the other wheel.
STEP 4: Stand the beam (1) up on end. NOTE: At least two people are required to raise the beam for the 28 ton and 34 ton models to insure
safety and prevent injury. Make sure that the beam is stable. Remove the pivot pin (52) and the clip pin (53) from the tank/axle (2). Roll
the axle/tongue assembly into position between the two tabs on the beam (1). Slide the pivot pin (52) through the holes and lock in place
with the clip pin (53).
STEP 5: Connect the end of the 1/2 in. I.D. x 44 in. (28 & 34 ton models) or 1/2 in. I.D. x 42 in. (22 & 25 ton models) hydraulic hose (21) coming
from the fitting (20) on the pump (9) to the fitting (75) on the valve (5) .
STEP 6: Slide one hose clamp (50) on the end of the 3/4 in. I.D. x 37 in. (28 ton and 34 ton models) or 3/4 in. I.D. x 32-1/2 in.
(22 & 25 ton models) hydraulic hose (49) that comes from the fitting on the tank/axle (2). Then connect the hose to the fitting (69) on the
valve (5). Tighten the hose clamp.
STEP 7: If the optional fender kit (standard on the 34 ton model) was purchased, attach the fenders (44) to the tank/axle (2) using the 1/4 in. NC
x 3/4 in. hex cap screws (43), 1/4 in. flatwashers (42), 1/4 in. lockwashers (41) and 1/4 in. hex nuts (40). Tighten.
OPERA TING INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 1: STARTING
CAUTION: DO NOT START OR RUN THE ENGINE BEFORE READING ALL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS AND
NOTES ON SAFETY THOROUGHLY.
IMPORTANT: The engine and hydraulic tank are shipped without oil. See the engine operating and maintenance instructions manual packed with
your log splitter for the type of crankcase oil, fuel, etc. The engine manufacturer recommends lead-free gasoline only .
Page 1
CAUTION: DO NOT START OR RUN THE ENGINE WITHOUT OIL IN THE HYDRAULIC RESERVOIR AND ENGINE.
STEP 2: The hydraulic reservoir should be filled with an SAE 20 hydraulic oil. If hydraulic oil is difficult to obtain, automatic transmission fluid can
be substituted and should be used instead of hydraulic oil when temperatures are below 32 degrees F. Use only clean oil and take care to
prevent dirt from entering the hydraulic reservoir.
CAUTION: WHEN TIGHTENING THE BREATHER CAP ON THE TANK, POINT THE HOLE AWAY FROM THE ENGINE
AND THE OPERATOR ZONE.
ENGINE OIL RECOMMENDATIONS
1) 25 Ton, 28 Ton and 34 Ton Models- For temperatures above 40 degrees F use an SAE 30W oil. Using multigrade oil may increase oil
consumption. Using SAE 30W oil below 40 degrees F will result in hard starting and possible engine bore damage. For temperatures below
40 degrees F use an SAE 10W-30 or SAE 5W-30 oil. Oil capacity is about 1-1/2 quarts (48 ounces; 1.4 liters).
2) 22 Ton Model- For temperatures above 40 degrees F use an SAE 30W oil. Using multigrade oils may increase oil consumption. Using SAE 30W
oil below 40 degrees F will result in hard starting and possible engine bore damage. For temperatures below 40 degrees F use an SAE 10W-30
or SAE 5W-30 oil. Oil capacity is approximately 5/8 quart (20 ounces; 0.6 liter).
DIRECTIONS FOR FILLING HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
Fill the hydraulic reservoir with at least five gallons of hydraulic fluid (25 ton, 28 ton & 34 ton models). Use at least four gallons for the 22 ton model.
After the hydraulic reservoir and the engine crankcase are filled with oil, start the engine. The hydraulic pump should prime itself. With the engine
running, move the hydraulic valve lever toward the wedge. This will cause the cylinder to extend and expel air. When the cylinder is fully extended,
retract it. Repeat this procedure several times. An erratic movement of the cylinder indicates that there is still air in the system. More oil should then
be added to bring the fluid level up to the “OK” range on the dipstick. Total hydraulic capacities are as follows: 34 ton model - 8-1/2 gallons; 28 ton
and 25 ton models- 8 gallons; 22 ton model- 5 gallons. NOTE: If the tank is overfilled, it will tend to expel oil from the breather cap when the
cylinder is retracted. After adding more oil to the tank, cycle the cylinder again until it has a constant speed indicating that all oil has been expelled.
Check the oil level in the reservoir again with the dipstick to make sure it is in the “OK” range.
STARTING INSTRUCTIONS
Refer also to the Engine Operating and Maintenance Instructions manual for your particular log splitter.
1) 25 Ton, 28 Ton and 34 Ton Models with 8 h.p. Engine
a) Move the throttle lever to “FAST”. Always operate the engine with throttle lever in the “FAST” position
b) Move choke control lever to “CHOKE” position.
c) Grasp rope handle and pull slowly until resistance is felt. Then pull rapidly to start engine and avoid engine kickback.
d) Allow the engine to warm up. If operating in warm weather, move the choke control lever toward “RUN” a short distance at a time over
several seconds. For cold weather operation do this procedure over several minutes. Operate with choke lever in the “RUN” position.
e) To stop engine, move the throttle lever to the “STOP” position.
2) 22 Ton Model with 6 h.p. Engine and Primer
a) Move control lever to “FAST.”
b) Push primer bulb three (3) times.
NOTE: DO NOT USE PRIMER TO RESTART A WARM ENGINE AFTER A SHORT SHUTDOWN.
c) Grasp starter handle and pull rope out slowly until resistance is felt. Then pull rope rapidly with full arm stroke. Let rope return to starter
slowly.
d) When engine starts, leave the control lever at “FAST.” The throttle must be in the “FAST” position for maximum performance.
Page 2
STEP 3: The engine maximum governed speed is preset at the factory at 3600 RPM no load speed. When splitting wood, the throttle should
be set at the maximum setting to develop the horsepower required for the pump.
STEP 4: TOWING
The log splitter is equipped with road-speed tires, a Class I coupler (2 in. diameter ball required) and safety chains. Before towing,
the safety chains must be secured to the hitch or bumper of the vehicle. Local regulations should be checked regarding licensing, lights,
towing, etc. See also T owing Safety in the Safety Information section of this manual.
STEP 5: OPERATION
WARNING: ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES DURING OPERA TION.
DANGER: KEEP HANDS AND FEET CLEAR OF RAM, STRIPPER PLATES AND BASE PLA TE AT ALL TIMES.
1) Set up the log splitter in a clear, level area and block the wheels. Make sure that the suction port on the tanks is always on the lower
side of the log splitter.
2) Place a log on the beam against the foot plate. Make sure that the log is securely on the foot plate and up against the beam.
3) Depress the valve handle so that the cylinder will drive the wedge into the log. Extend the cylinder until the log splits or to the end of
its stroke. If the log has not completely split after the cylinder has reached the end of its extension, retract the cylinder.
IMPORTANT: Leaving the valve in the “actuate” position at the end of the stroke may damage the pump. Always use extra care
when splitting logs with unsquare ends.
NOTE: For operation in wooded areas, obtain a spark arrestor for the exhaust system. See the engine operating and maintenance manual
and check with your authorized Briggs & Stratton service center. See also Prevent Fire in the Safey Information section
of this manual.
IMPORTANT: TO EXTEND THE LIFE OF THE HYDRAULIC CYLINDER, AVOID “BOTTOMING OUT” WEDGE PLATE TO THE FOOT
PIECE. TO CONFORM WITH INDUSTRY SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS, THE WEDGE STOPS 2 INCHES FROM
THE END OF THE STROKE.
MAINTENANCE
1) Consult the operating and maintenance instructions of the engine manufacturer for engine care and maintenance.
2) Always check the oil level of the hydraulic reservoir before operation. Operating the log splitter without an adequate oil supply
will cause severe damage to the pump.
3) Change the oil filter after the first 25 hours of operation. Thereafter, change the oil filter every 100 hours or seasonally, whichever comes first.
4) If the wedge becomes dull or nicked, it can be removed and sharpened. Remove the 1/2 in. diameter bolt that connects the wedge to the
cylinder. The hose from the valve may need to be removed. While the log splitter is in the horizontal position, loosen the hose clamp and
disconnect the hose from the valve. Carefully lift the cylinder to allow the wedge to slide forward. The wedge can now be lifted off and
sharpened.
5) Clean the breather cap after 25 hours of operation. Clean it more often when operated in dusty conditions. To clean, remove the breather from
the tank and flush with kerosene or liquid detergent to remove the dirt.
6) See also Repair and Maintenance Safety in the Safety Information section of this manual.
7) All replacement parts must meet manufacturer’s specifications.

SAFETY INFORMATION
A. TRAINING AND PREPARATION
Before operating this log splitter, read and understand this manual completely. Become familiar with it for your own safety. To fail to do so may
cause serious injury. Do not allow anyone to operate this log splitter who has not read this manual.
B. INTENDED USE
NEVER use your log splitter for any other purposes than splitting wood. It is designed for this use and any other use may cause an injury.
C. RESPONSIBLE OPERATORS
NEVER allow children to operate your log splitter nor adults lacking proper instructions. Keep them away from your work area. Your log splitter
is not a toy. Only the operator is to be near your log splitter during use. Keep all others, including pets a minimum of 10 feet away from your
work zone. Flying wood can be hazerdous. If a helper is assisting in loading logs, NEVER activate the control until the helper is clear of the
area. More accidents occur when more than one person operates the log splitter than at any other time.
NEVER operate your log splitter when under the influence of alcohol, drugs or medication. A clear mind is essential for safety.
NEVER allow a person who is tired or otherwise not alert to use your log splitter.
D. SAFETY WEAR
NEVER wear loose clothing or jewelry that can be caught by moving parts of your log splitter and pull you into it. Keep clothing away from all
moving parts of your log splitter. Wear proper head gear to keep hair away from moving parts.
ALWAYS wear safety shoes. A dropped log can seriously injure your foot.
ALWAYS wear safety glasses. A piece of splitting log could fly off and hit your eyes.
IF you wear gloves, be sure they are tight fitting without loose cuffs or draw strings.
ALWAYS wear protective hearing devices as needed.
E. PREPARE LOGS PROPERLY
BOTH ends of each log should be cut as square as possible to help prevent the log from riding out of the splitter during operation.
F. OPERATING PROCEDURE
ONLY operate the log splitter from the operator zone.
FOOT PLA TE
ENGINE
TONGUE
Know how to stop the unit and disengage the controls.
NEVER place hands or feet between log and splitting wedge or between log and ram during forward or reverse stroke. To do so may result in
crushed or amputated fingers or worse. You may lose an arm or foot.
DON’T straddle the log splitter when using it. A slip in any position could result in a serious injury.
NEVER try to split two logs on top of each other. One may fly out and injure you.
NEVER allow one person to operate the valve while another is positioning the log as serious injury could result from starting operation with the
hands near the ram or wedge.
DON’T step over log splitter when the engine is running. You may trip or accidentally activate the ram if you step over it. If you need to get to
the other side, walk around.
Page 7
NEVER attempt to load your log splitter when the ram is in motion. You may get caught by the ram and injured.
ONLY use your hand to operate the control lever. Never use your foot or a rope or any other extension device. This could result in your inability to
stop your log splitter quickly and cause an injury.
NEVER move the log splitter while the engine is running.
NEVER leave your log splitter unattended with the engine running. Shut off the engine if you are leaving your log splitter even for a short period of
time. Someone could accidentally activate the ram and be injured.
DON’T run the engine in an enclosed area. Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide. This odorless gas can be deadly when inhaled.
G. OPERATE IN SAFE ENVIRONMENT AND ON SAFE GROUND
NEVER operate your log splitter on slippery, wet, muddy or icy surfaces. Safe footing is essential in preventing accidents.
ONLY operate your log splitter on level ground and not on a side hill. It could tip over or rolling logs or poor footing could cause an accident.
(This also prevents the spillage of gas from the tank).
NEVER attempt to move the log splitter over hilly or uneven terrain without a tow vehicle or adequate help.
ALWAYS block wheels to prevent movement of log splitter while in operation.
KEEP work area clean. Immediately remove split wood around your log splitter so that you don’t stumble over it.
WHEN using your log splitter, use in daylight or under good artificial light.
H. REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE SAFETY
DON’T operate your log splitter in poor mechanical condition or when in need of repair.
PERIODICALLY check that all nuts, bolts and screws are tightened.
DON’T alter your log splitter in any manner such as attaching a rope or extension to the control lever or adding to the width or height of the wedge
unless approved by the manufacturer. Such alterations may cause your log splitter to be unsafe.
PERFORM all recommended maintenance procedures before you use your log splitter.
REPLACE all damaged or worn parts such as hydraulic hoses and fittings immediately.
NEVER tamper with the engine to run it at excessive speeds. This increases the hazard of personal injury. The maximum engine speed is preset by
the manufacturer and is within safety limits.
DON’T service or repair your log splitter without removing the spark plug wire.
ALL replacement parts must meet manufacturer’s specifications.
I. TOWING SAFETY
OBEY all state and local regulations when towing on public roads and highways.
BEFORE towing, be certain that the log splitter is correctly and securely attached to the towing vehicle and that a safety chain is in place. Leave
slack in chains for turning allowance.
DON’T allow anyone to sit or ride on your log splitter. They can easily fall off and be seriously injured.
BEFORE using your log splitter, disconnect it from the towing vehicle. A log can easily be pushed forward onto the vehicle.
NEVER carry any cargo or wood on your log splitter. It may fall off and endanger vehicles that are following you.
Page 8
ALLOW for added length of your log splitter when turning, parking, crossing intersection and in all driving situations.
BE careful when backing up. You can easily jack-knife your log splitter.
ADJUST towing speed for terrain and conditions. Do not exceed 45 mph. Be extra cautious and reduce speed when towing over bumpy or rough
terrain including railroad crossings.
J. PREVENT FIRE
NEVER operate your log splitter near a flame or spark. Hydraulic oil and gasoline are flammable and can explode.
DON’T fill the gas tank while the engine is hot or running. Allow the engine to cool before refueling.
NEVER smoke while operating or refueling your log splitter. Gas fumes can easily explode.
ONLY refuel your log splitter outdoors in a clear area void of gas fumes or spilled gas. Always use an approved fuel container. Always replace the
gas cap securely.
IF gasoline is spilled, move machine away from the area of the spill and avoid creating any source of ignition until the spilled gas has evaporated.
TAKE a Class B fire extinguisher with you when operating your log splitter in dry areas as a precautionary measure against possible flying sparks.
COMPLETELY drain the fuel tank prior to storage. This guards against the accumulation of fuel fumes, which could result in a fire hazard.
ALWAYS store gasoline in an approved, tightly sealed container. Store the container in a cool, dry place. Do not store in the house or near a
heating appliance.
-NOTE-
This unit is equipped with an internal combustion engine and should not be used on or near any unimproved forest-covered, brush-covered or
grass-covered land unless the engine’s exhaust system is equipped with a spark arrester meeting applicable local or state laws (if any). If a spark

L. HYDRAULIC SAFETY
THE hydraulic system of your log splitter requires careful inspection along with the mechanical parts. Be sure to replace frayed, kinked, cracked or
otherwise damaged hydraulic components. Just because it isn’t leaking today doesn’t mean that it will not fail tomorrow.
FLUID escaping from a very small hole can almost be invisible. Do not check for leaks with your hand. Escaping fluid under pressure can have
sufficient force to penetrate skin causing serious personal injury or even death. Leaks can be detected by passing a piece of cardboard or wood
over the suspected leak and looking for discoloration.
IF injured by escaping fluid, see a doctor at once. Serious infection or reaction can develop if proper medical treatment is not administered
immediately.
SHOULD it become necessary to loosen or remove any hydraulic fitting or line, be sure to relieve all pressure by shutting off the engine and moving
the control handle back and forth several times.
DON’T remove the cap from the hydraulic tank or reservoir while your log splitter is running. Hot oil under pressure could result in serious injury.
THE pressure relief valve on your log splitter is preset at the factory. Do not adjust the valve. Only a qualified service technician should perform this
adjustment.
