ASSEMBLY

Add Engine Oil

CAUTION

DO NOT attempt to crank or start the engine before it has been properly ﬁlled with the recommended type and amount of oil. Damage to the log splitter as a result of failure to follow these instructions will void your warranty.

1. Make sure the log splitter is on a ﬂat, level surface.

2. Remove oil ﬁll cap/dipstick to add oil.

3. Add up to 0.42 qt (0.4 L) of oil. Replace oil ﬁll cap/ dipstick. DO NOT OVERFILL.

4. Check engine oil level daily and add as needed.

CAUTION

The engine is equipped with a low-oil-shutoff and will stop when the oil level in the crankcase falls below the threshold level.

Add Fuel Cont’d.

5. Slowly add fuel to the tank. DO NOT OVERFILL. Fuel can expand after ﬁlling. A minimum of ¼ in. (0.64 cm) of space left in the tank is required for fuel expansion, more than ¼ in. (0.64 cm) is recommended. Fuel can be forced out of the tank as a result of expansion if it is overﬁlled, and can affect the stable running condition of the product. When ﬁlling the tank, it is recommended to leave enough space for the fuel to expand.

6. Screw on the fuel cap and wipe away any spilled fuel.

CAUTION

NOTE

Check oil often during the break-in period. Refer to the Maintenance section for recommended service intervals.

Add Fuel

1. Use clean, fresh, regular unleaded fuel with a minimum octane rating of 85 and an ethanol content of less than 10% by volume.

2. DO NOT mix oil with fuel.

3. Clean the area around the fuel cap.

4. Remove the fuel cap.

WARNING

Pouring fuel too fast through the fuel screen may result in blow back of fuel at the operator while ﬁlling.

Use regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 85.

Do not mix oil and gasoline. Fill tank to approximately ¼ in. (0.64 cm) below the top of the tank to allow for fuel expansion. DO NOT pump gas directly into the generator at the gas station. Use an approved container to transfer the fuel to the generator. DO NOT ﬁll fuel tank indoors. DO NOT ﬁll fuel tank when the engine is running or hot. DO NOT overﬁll the fuel tank. DO NOT light cigarettes or smoke when ﬁlling the fuel tank.

NOTE

Our engines work well with 10% or less ethanol blend fuels. When using blended fuels there are some issues worth noting:

– Ethanol-gasoline blends can absorb more water than

gasoline alone.

– These blends can eventually separate, leaving water

or a watery goo in the tank, fuel valve and carburetor.

– With gravity-fed fuel supplies, this compromised fuel

can be drawn into the carburetor and cause damage to the engine and/or potential hazards.

– There are only a few suppliers of fuel stabilizer that

are formulated to work with ethanol blend fuels.

– Any damages or hazards caused by using improper

fuel, improperly stored fuel, and/or improperly formulated stabilizers, are not covered by

manufacture’s warranty. It is advisable to always shut off the fuel supply, run the engine to fuel starvation and drain the tank when the equipment is not in use for more than 30 days.

Add Hydraulic Oil

1. Make sure the log splitter is on a ﬂat, level surface.

2. Remove the dipstick from the oil tank. (A)

3. Using your ﬁngers, open the hydraulic vent screw by turning it counter clockwise approximately 2-3 times. (B)

4. Add 0.87 gal. (3.3 L) of hydraulic oil - 10W AW32, ASLE H-150, or ISO 32.

NOTE

When the outdoor tempurature is below 32 ˚F, Dexron III transmission ﬂuid can be used.

5. Check the hydraulic oil level using dipstick. Oil level should be between the two marks on the dipstick. (A)

6. Replace and tighten the dipstick.

7. Start engine (see Starting the Engine in the Operation section).

8. Extend and retract the cylinder to purge air from the hydraulic system. Cylinder motion should be smooth and continuous.

9. Shut-off engine (see Stopping the Engine in the Operation section).

10. Check the hydraulic oil tank dipstick. Add additional hydraulic oil if needed.

11. Check oil level daily and add as needed.

Add Hydraulic Oil Cont’d.

NOTE

Always tighten the hydraulic vent screw when the engine is off and log splitter is not in use. When the vent screw is closed, it prevents dust, dirt, and debris from entering the tank. Closing the vent screw also prevents oil leakage when the log splitter is being transported.

NOTE

While the hydraulic vent screw is open, some hydraulic oil may spill out during transportation and/or operation especially if the log splitter is not on a level surface.

WARNING

DO NOT remove the dipstick when the engine is running or hot. Hot oil can escape causing severe burns. Always allow the log splitter to cool completely before removing the hydraulic oil dipstick. High ﬂuid pressure and temperatures are created in the hydraulic log splitters. Hydraulic ﬂuid will escape through a pin-size hole opening and can puncture skin and cause severe blood poisoning. Inspect hydraulic system regularly for possible leaks. Never check for leaks with your hand while the system is pressurized. Seek medical attention immediately if injured by escaping ﬂuid.

NOTE

To check oil level, insert the dipstick into ﬁll neck until it stops. Remove and read level. Do not thread dipstick into ﬁll neck when checking oil.

NOTE

Failure to open the hydraulic vent screw will cause pressure build-up due to heat. This creates difﬁculty during maintenance and operation.

OPERATION

Before Each Use Inspect the Log Splitter

1. Check the hydraulic oil level and visually inspect all hoses, attachments and cylinder for loose ﬁttings, leaks, cracks, fraying or other damage.

2. DO NOT operate the log splitter if there is any indication of damage.

3. Inspect the engine and make sure the oil level is correct before operating. If the engine is equipped with a spark arrestor, clean and inspect it regularly (follow spark arrestor maintenance schedule).

Log Splitter Location

This log splitter must have at least seven feet of clearance from combustible material. Leave at least three feet of clearance on all sides of the log splitter to allow for adequate cooling, maintenance and servicing. DO NOT place the log splitter near vents or intakes where engine exhaust fumes could be drawn into occupied or conﬁned spaces. Always operate the log

splitter outdoors.

The log splitter needs to be on a dry level surface with good footing. DO NOT work on mud, ice, tall grass, brush or snow. Only operate log splitter from work zone shown below.

Log Splitter Location Cont’d.

WARNING

ALWAYS use the log splitter for its intended use. The log splitter should only be used to split wood logs, length wise with the grain. NEVER modify, alter or change the log splitter in anyway. Modiﬁcations will void the warranty. NEVER attach a rope, cable or other device to the control lever on the log splitter. DO NOT modify or change the engine and operating speeds or pressure settings. These changes can cause safety issues. ONLY operate the log splitter in daylight. NEVER operate, or let anyone else operate, the log splitter while under the inﬂuence of alcohol, drugs, or medication. NEVER leave the log splitter unattended while the engine is running.

OPERATION

ENGLISH 90720

Starting the Engine

1. Make certain the log splitter is on a ﬂat, level

surface.

2. Using your ﬁngers, open the hydraulic vent screw by

turning it counter clockwise approximately 2-3 times.

3. Flip engine switch to “ON” position (Item A).

4. Rotate the fuel valve to the “ON” position (Item B).

5. Move the throttle lever (Item C) to the “Fast”

position.

6. Move the choke lever (Item D) to the “Choke”

position.

7. Pull the starter cord slowly until resistance is felt and

then pull rapidly. SEE NOTE BELOW.

NOTE

Keep choke lever in “Choke” position for 2 pulls of the recoil starter. After second pull, move choke lever to the “Run” position for up to the next 3 pulls of the recoil starter. Too much choke leads to spark plug fouling/engine ﬂooding due to the lack of incoming air. This will cause the engine not to start.

8. As engine warms up, move the choke lever (Item D)

to “Run.”

Starting the Engine Cont’d.

NOTE

If the engine starts but does not run make certain that the log splitter is on a ﬂat, level surface. The engine is equipped with a low oil sensor that will prevent the engine from running when the oil level falls below a critical threshold. The hydraulic oil needs to be above 10° F (-12° C) before starting the engine. Cold hydraulic oil can damage the hydraulic pump. If outdoor air temperature is below 32° F (0° C) allow the log splitter to warm up by extending and returning the wedge several times before splitting wood.

Champion Power Equipment, Inc. (CPE),

The United States Environment Protection Agency (U.S. EPA.) and the California Air Resources Board (CARB)

Emission Control System Warranty

Your Champion Power Equipment (CPE) engine complies with both the U.S. EPA and state of California Air Resources Board (CARB) emission regulations.

YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS:

The US EPA, California Air Resources Board, and CPE are pleased to explain the Federal and California Emission Control Systems Warranty on your 2013 small off-road engine and engine powered equipment. In California, new, small off-road engines and new equipment that use small off-road engines must be designed, built and equipped to meet the State’s stringent anti smog standards. In the other states, new engines and equipment must be designed, built and equipped, at the time of sale, to meet U.S. EPA regulations for small non-road engines. CPE warrants the emission control system on your small off-road engine and equipment for the period of time listed below, provided there has been no abuse, neglect, unapproved modification, or improper maintenance of your equipment.

Your emission control system may include parts such as the carburetor, fuel-injection system, the ignition system, catalytic converter and fuel lines. Also included may be hoses, belts, connectors and other emission related assemblies. Where a warrantable condition exits, CPE will repair your small off-road engine at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts and labor. For engines less than or equal to 80cc, only the fuel tank and fuel line is subject to the evaporative emission control warranty requirements of this section.

MANUFACTURER’S EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY COVERAGE:

This emission control system is warranted for two years, subject to provisions set forth below. If, during the warranty period, emission related part on your engine is defective in materials or workmanship, the part will be repaired or replaced by CPE.

OWNER WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES:

As the small off-road engine owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required maintenance listed in your Owner’s Manual. CPE recommends that you retain all your receipts covering maintenance on your small offroad engine, but CPE cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance.

As the small off-road engine owner, you should however be aware that CPE may deny you warranty coverage if your small, off-road engine or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved modifications.

You are responsible for presenting your small off-road engine to an Authorized CPE service outlet or alternate service outlet as described in (3)(f.) below, CPE dealer or CPE, Santa Fe Springs, Ca. as soon as a problem exists. The warranty repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.

If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities, you should contact:

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY

The following are specific provisions relative to your Emission Control System (ECS) Warranty Coverage.

1. APPLICABILITY: This warranty shall apply to 1995 and later model year California small off-road engines (for

other states, 1997 and later model year engines). The ECS Warranty Period shall begin on the date the new engine or equipment is delivered to its original, end-use purchaser, and shall continue for 24 consecutive months thereafter.

2. GENERAL EMISSIONS WARRANTY COVERAGE

CPE warrants to the original, end-use purchaser of the new engine or equipment and to each subsequent purchaser that each of its small off-road engines is: a. Designed, built and equipped so as to conform to U.S. EPA emissions standards for spark-ignited engines at or below 19 kilowatts and all applicable regulations adopted by the California Air Resources Board and b. Free from defects in materials and workmanship that cause the failure of a warranted part to be identical in all material respects to the part as described in the engine manufacturer’s application for certification for a period of two years.

3. THE WARRANTY ON EMISSION-RELATED PARTS WILL BE INTERPRETED AS FOLLOWS:

a. Any warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the Owners Manual shall be warranted for the ECS Warranty Period. If any such part fails during the ECS Warranty Period, it shall be repaired or replaced by CPE according to Subsection “d” below. Any such part repaired or replaced under the ECS Warranty shall be warranted for any remainder of the ECS Warranty Period. b. Any warranted, emissions-related part which is scheduled only for regular inspection as specified in the Owners Manual shall be warranted for the ECS Warranty Period. A statement in such written instructions to the effect of “repair or replace as necessary”, shall not reduce the ECS Warranty Period. Any such part repaired or replaced under the ECS Warranty shall be warranted for the remainder of the ECS Warranty Period. c. Any warranted, emissions-related part which is scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the Owner’s Manual shall be warranted for the period of time prior to the first scheduled replacement point for that part. If the part fails prior to the first scheduled replacement, the part shall be repaired or replaced by CPE according to Subsection “d” below. Any such emissions-related part repaired or replaced under the ECS Warranty, shall be warranted for the remainder of the ECS Warranty Period prior to the first scheduled replacement point for such emissions-related part. d. Repair or replacement of any warranted, emissions-related part under this ECS Warranty shall be performed at no charge to the owner at a CPE Authorized Service Outlet. e. The owner shall not be charged for diagnostic labor which leads to the determination that a part covered by the ECS Warranty is in fact defective, provided that such diagnostic work is performed at a CPE Authorized Service Outlet. f. CPE shall pay for covered emissions warranty repairs at non-authorized service outlets under the following circumstances: i. The service is required in a population center with a population over 100,000 according to U.S. Census 2000 without a CPE Authorized Service Outlet AND ii. The service is required more than 100 miles from a CPE Authorized Service Outlet. The 100 mile limitation does not apply in the following states: Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Texas, Utah and Wyoming. g. CPE shall be liable for damages to other original engine components or approved modifications proximately caused by a failure under warranty of an emission-related part covered by the ECS Warranty. h. Throughout the ECS Warranty Period, CPE shall maintain a supply of warranted emission-related parts sufficient to meet the expected demand for such emission-related parts. i. Any CPE Authorized and approved emission-related replacement part may be used in the performance of any ECS Warranty maintenance or repair and will be provided without charge to the owner. Such use shall not reduce CPE’s warranty obligation. j. Unapproved add-on or modified parts may not be used to modify or repair a CPE engine. Such use voids this ECS Warranty and shall be sufficient grounds for disallowing an ECS Warranty claim. CPE shall not be liable hereunder for failures of any warranted parts of a CPE engine caused by the use of such an unapproved add-on or modified part.
