WARNING
Towing H azard
ALWAYS check all local and state regulations regarding towing, licensing and lights before towing your log splitter. Review towing safety warnings in your towing vehicle manual. Drive safely. Be aware of the added length of the log splitter. NEVER ride or transport cargo on the log splitter. Choose a level surface to operate the lo g split ter.
NEVER EXCEED MAX. Towing Speed 45 MPH (72 KPH)
WARNING
Rapid retraction of the starter cord will pull hand and arm towards the engine faster than you can let go. Unintentional startup can result in entanglement, traumatic amputation or laceration. Broken bones, fractures, bruises or sprains could result.
When starting engine, pull the starter cord slowly until resistance is felt and then pull rapidly to avoid kickback.
CAUTION
DANGER
Fuel and fuel vapors are highly flammable and extremely explosive. Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death. Unintentional startup can result in entanglement, traumatic amputation or laceration.
When adding or removing fuel:
Turn the engine off and let it cool for at least two minutes before removing the fuel cap. Loosen the cap slowly to relieve pressure in the tank. Only fill or drain fuel outdoors in a well-ventilated area. DO NOT pump gas directly into the engine at the gas station. Use an approved container to transfer the fuel to the engine. DO NOT overfill the fuel tank. Always keep fuel away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat and other sources of ignition. DO NOT light or smoke cigarettes.
When starting the engine:
DO NOT attempt to start a damaged engine. Make certain that the gas cap, air filter, spark plug, fuel lines and exhaust system are properly in place. Allow spilled fuel to evaporate fully before attempting to start the engine. Make certain that the log splitter is resting firmly on level ground.
When operating the log splitter:
DO NOT move or tip the log splitter during operation. DO NOT tip the log splitter or allow fuel or oil to spill from the engine. Block the wheels to prevent unintended movement.
When transporting or servicing the log splitter:
Make certain that the fuel shutoff valve is in the off position and the fuel tank is empty.
Disconnect the spark plug wire.
When storing the log splitter:
Store away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat and other sources of ignition.
Parts of the hydraulic circuit (cylinder, pump, valve­body, hoses) can become very hot during operation.
CAUTION
Improper treatment or use of the log splitter can damage it, shorten its life and void your warranty.
Use the log splitter only for intended uses. Operate only on level surfaces. DO NOT expose log splitter to excessive moisture, dust, or dirt. DO NOT allow any material to block the cooling slots. DO NOT use the engine if:

Training
1. Read the Operator’s Manual completely before attempting to use this log splitter.
2. Do not allow anyone to operate your log splitter who has not read the Operator’s Manual or has not been instructed on the safe use of the log splitter.
3. Never allow children or untrained adults to operate this machine.
4. Many accidents occur when more than one (1) person operates the log splitter. If a helper is assisting in loading logs to be split, never actuate controls until helper is clear of the area.
5. Never allow anyone to ride on the machine.
6. Never transport cargo on the log splitter.
7. High fluid pressures are developed in hydraulic log splitters. Pressurized hydraulic fluid escaping through a pin hole opening can puncture skin and cause sever blood poisoning. Therefore, the following instructions should be heeded at all times. a. Do not operate the unit with frayed, kinked,
cracked or damaged hoses, fittings, or tubing.
b. Stop the engine and relieve hydraulic system
pressure before changing or adjusting fittings, hoses, tubing, or other system components.
c. Do not adjust the pressure settings of the pump
or valve.
d. Do not check for leaks with your hand. Leaks
can be detected by passing cardboard or wood over the suspected area. Look 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.
8. Keep the operator zone and adjacent area clear for safe, secure footing.
9. If your log splitter is equipped with an internal­combustion engine and intended for use near any unimproved forest, brush, or grass covered land, the engine exhaust should be equipped with a spark arrestor. Make sure you comply with local, state, and federal codes. Take appropriate fire-fighting equipment with you.
10. Log splitters should be used only for splitting wood. Do not use for other purposes unless the manufacturer provides attachments and instructions.
Preparation
1. Be thoroughly familiar with all controls and with proper use of the equipment.
2. Safety Gear: a. Always wear safety shoes or heavy boots when
operating the machine.
b. Always wear safety glasses or goggles when
operating the machine.
c. Never wear jewelry or loose-fitting clothing that
might become entangled in moving or rotating parts of the machine.
3. Make sure the splitter is on a level surface. Block tires and ensure support leg is secure to prevent unintended movement of the log splitter during operation. a. Always operate the splitter from the
manufacturer’s indicated operator zone.
4. Logs to be split on ram-type units should be cut as squarely as possible.
5. Fuel: a. Use an approved fuel container. b. Never add fuel to a running or hot engine. c. Fill fuel tank outdoors with extreme care. Never
fill fuel tank indoors.
d. Replace gasoline cap securely and clean up any
spilled fuel.

SAFETY RULES
Operation
1. Before starting this log splitter, review all safety rules. Failure to follow these rules may result in serious injury to the operator or bystanders.
2. Be sure to confirm all hose connections and hose clamps are tight before each use. It is possible for connections to vibrate loose over time.
3. Never leave the machine unattended with the power source operating.
4. Never operate the machine when under the influence of alcohol, drugs or medication.
5. The machine owner should instruct all operators in safe log splitter operation.
6. Always operate the log splitter with all safety equipment in place and all controls properly adjusted for safe operation.
7. Always operate the log splitter at manufacturer’s recommended speed.
8. Always keep hands and feet clear of moving parts.
9. When loading a ram-type log splitter, place your hands on the sides of the log, not the ends. Never place your hands or any part of your body between a log and any part of the log splitter.
10. On ram-type log splitters, never attempt to split more than one (1) log at a time unless the ram has been fully extended and a second log is needed to complete the separation of the first log.
11. On ram-type log splitters on which the logs are not cut square, the longest portion of the log should be rotated down and the most square end placed against the ram.
12. Use only your hand to operate the log splitter controls.
13. Do not refuel the engine until it has cooled for several minutes.
Maintenance and Storage
1. Always shut off the power source while repairing or adjusting the splitter except as recommended by the manufacturer.
2. Clean debris and chaff from the engine cylinder, cylinder head fins, recoil starter cover, and muffler areas. If the engine is equipped with a spark arrestor muffler, clean and inspect it regularly (follow manufacturer’s service instructions). Replace, if damaged.
3. Never store the unit indoors with fuel in the tank. Fumes might reach an open flame spark. Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.
4. Clear debris from moveable parts, but only when the power source is shut off.
5. Check to be sure all nuts and bolts are tight to assure the equipment is in safe working condition.
