Fuel Safety
DANGER
GASOLINE AND GASOLINE VAPORS ARE HIGHLY
FLAMMABLE AND EXPLOSIVE.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.
NEVER EXCEED MAX. Towing Speed 45 MPH (72 KM/H)
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
Parts of the hydraulic circuit (cylinder, pump, valve-body,
hoses) can become very hot during operation.
WARNING
In most states towing on public streets is either prohibited or
would require further licensing or modifications. Please check
with your local authorities or DMV regarding regulations,
restrictions and registration.
Gasoline and gasoline vapors:
– Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive.
– Gasoline can cause a fire or explosion if ignited.
– Gasoline is a liquid fuel but its vapors can ignite.
– Gasoline is a skin irritant and needs to be cleaned up
immediately if spilled on skin or clothes.
– Gasoline has a distinctive odor, this will help detect potential
leaks quickly.
– In any petroleum gas fire, flames should not be extinguished
unless by doing so the fuel supply valve can be turned OFF.
This is because if a fire is extinguished and a supply of fuel is
not turned OFF, then an explosion hazard could be created.
– Gasoline expands or contracts with ambient temperatures.
Never fill the gasoline tank to full capacity, as gasoline needs
room to expand if temperatures rise.
When adding or removing gasoline:
Turn the engine off and let it cool for at least two minutes before
removing the gasoline cap. Loosen the cap slowly to relieve
pressure in the tank.
Only fill or drain gasoline outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
DO NOT pump gasoline directly into the engine at the gas station.
Use an approved container to transfer the fuel to the engine.
DO NOT overfill the gasoline tank.

ASSEMBLY
NOTICE
Once oil has been added, a visual check should show oil about
1-2 threads from running out of the fill hole.
If using the dipstick to check oil level, DO NOT screw in the
dipstick while checking.
NOTICE
Check oil often during the break-in period. Refer to the
Maintenance section for recommended service intervals.
CAUTION
The engine is equipped with a low oil shut-off and will stop
when the oil level in the crankcase falls below the threshold
level.
NOTICE
We consider the first 5 hours of run time to be the breakin period for the engine. During the break in period we
recommend using standard automotive non-synthetic blended
oils. After the break in period synthetic lubricant can be used
but is not required. Adjusting throttle setting will increase/
decrease engine speed helping to seat piston rings. Avoid
bogging or lugging the engine down and avoid prolonged
running at constant RPM. After the 5 hour break-in period,
change the oil. Using synthetic lubricants does not increase
the recommended oil change interval.
Add Fuel
1. Use clean, fresh, regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum
octane rating of 85 and an ethanol content of less than 10%
by volume. ybc
2. DO NOT mix oil with gasoline.
3. Remove the gasoline cap.
4. Slowly add gasoline to the tank. DO NOT OVERFILL. Gasoline
can expand after filling. A minimum of ¼ in. (6.4 mm) of
space left in the tank is required for gasoline expansion,
although more than ¼ in. (6.4 mm) is recommended. Gasoline
can be forced out of the tank as a result of expansion if
overfilled, and can affect the stable running condition of the
log splitter.
5. Screw on the gasoline cap and wipe away any spilled fuel.
CAUTION
Use regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating
of 85 and an ethanol content of less than 10% by volume.
DO NOT mix oil and gasoline.
Fill tank to approximately ¼ in. (6.4 mm) below the top of the
tank to allow for gasoline expansion.
DO NOT pump gasoline directly into the log splitter at the
pump. Use an approved container to transfer the gasoline to
the log splitter.
DO NOT fill tank indoors.
DO NOT fill tank when the engine is running or hot.
NOTICE
Synthetic oil may be used after the 5 hour initial break-in
period. Using synthetic oil does not increase the recommended
oil change interval. Full synthetic 5W-30 oil will aid in starting
in cold ambient < 41º F (5º C).

NOTICE
OPERATION
WARNING
Our engines work well with 10% or less ethanol blend
gasoline. When using ethanol-gasoline blends 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 supplies, the compromised gasoline 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-gasoline blends.
– Any damages or hazards caused by using improper
gasoline, improperly stored gasoline, and/or improperly
formulated stabilizers, are not covered by manufacturer’s
warranty.
It is advisable to always shut off the gasoline supply, run the
engine to starvation and drain the tank when the equipment is
not in use for more than 30 days.
DO NOT remove the hydraulic oil fill cap 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 cap.
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.
5. Replace and tighten the oil plug and orient the vent hole away
from the operator zone.
6. Start Engine. Extend and retract the wedge to purge air from
the hydraulic system. When the wedge motion is smooth, the
system is properly purged.
7. Check the hydraulic oil tank sight glass. Add approximately
1.5 gallons of hydraulic oil to bring the level back up to the
sight glass.
Add Hydraulic Oil
1. Make sure the log splitter is on a flat, level surface.
2. Remove the oil plug from the oil tank. (A)
3. Add 640 fl. oz. (5 gal. [18.9 L]) of hydraulic oil - ISO 32 / SAE
10W / SAE 32 / ISO 46 are all acceptable types of fluid.
4. Check the hydraulic oil level using the oil sight glass. Oil level
should be centered on the glass sight. (B)

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).
4. The tires need to be fully inflated and in good repair.
Reference the tire sidewall for recommended tire pressure.
WARNING
DO NOT over inflate tires. Serious injury can result if tires
explode.
DO NOT tow the log splitter if the tires are worn or will not hold
air.
DO NOT exceed the maximum 45 MPH (72 KM/H) towing
speed.

Towing Log Splitter Safety
1. Always check local and state regulations regarding the
requirements for towing, licensing and lights.
2. Before towing make sure the log splitter is correctly and
securely attached to the vehicle and the safety chains
attached with enough slack to allow for turning.
3. Never exceed the max. travel speed of 72 km/h (45 MPH).
Towing the log splitter at speeds greater than 72 km/h
(45 MPH) could result in serious injury or death. Always adjust
your towing speed according to the terrain and conditions.
4. Always disconnect the log splitter from the towing vehicle
before operating.
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. ONLY operate the log splitter outdoors.
3. Insert pin and “R” clip in the rear locking hole (at base of tow
beam).
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.

WARNING
OPERATION
NOTICE
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.
DO NOT change the splitting position with the engine running.
Contact with the muffler can cause serious burns.
ALWAYS make sure the beam is in the locked position.
DO NOT let the beam drop as it could crush fingers or cause
damage to the log splitter.
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.
Stopping the Engine
1. Turn the fuel valve to the “OFF” position.
2. Let the engine run until fuel starvation has stopped the
engine. This usually takes a few minutes.
3. Turn the engine switch to the “OFF” position.
Important: Always ensure that the fuel valve and the engine
switch are in the “OFF” position when the engine is not in use.
NOTICE
If the engine will not be used for a period of two (2) weeks or
longer, please see the Storage section for proper engine and
fuel storage.
Log Splitter Operation
Starting the Engine
1. Make certain the log splitter is on a flat, level surface.
2. Flip engine switch to the “ON” position.
3. Rotate the fuel valve to the “ON” position.
4. Move the throttle lever to the “FAST” position.
5. Move the choke lever to the “CHOKE” position.
6. Pull the starter cord slowly until resistance is felt and then
pull rapidly. SEE NOTE.
7. As engine warms up, move the choke lever to the “RUN”
position.
NOTICE
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.
1. ALWAYS wear ear and eye protection, protective clothing and
safety gear.
2. Block tires and ensure support leg is secure to prevent
unintended movement of the log splitter during operation.
3. Set log splitter in either the horizontal or vertical position.
NOTICE
HORIZONTAL position is used for lighter logs that can easily be
loaded onto the beam.
VERTICAL position is used for light logs as well as heavy logs
that are difficult to load onto the beam.
Back injury can result from lifting logs onto the log splitter if
proper lifting techniques are not used.
21
Page 22
92750-1 - 27 TON LOG SPLITTER
MAINTENANCE
4. Load a log onto the beam against the end plate
(MAX LOG LENGTH – 23.8 in. [60.3 cm]).
5. Make sure all limbs are clear of crush zones.
6. Push the control valve handle forward (towards the end plate)
to split the log.
7. Push the auto control valve handle backward to return the
wedge to its original position.
8. Clear the split wood from the work zone.
CAUTION
Do not hold auto control valve in return position. It will damage
the stop block or beam.
NOTICE
It is normal for the hydraulic fluid to appear foamy/frothy
during operation.
Operation at High Altitude
The density of air at high altitude is lower than at sea level. Engine
power is reduced as the air mass and air-fuel ratio decrease.
Engine power and log splitter output will be reduced approximately
3½% for every 1000 ft. of elevation above sea level. This is a
natural trend and cannot be changed by adjusting the engine. At
high altitudes increased exhaust emissions can also result due to
the increased enrichment of the air fuel ratio. Other high altitude
issues can include hard starting, increased fuel consumption and
spark plug fouling.
To alleviate high altitude issues other than the natural power
loss, CPE can provide a high altitude carburetor main jet. The
alternative main jet and installation instructions can be obtained
by contacting our Technical Support Team. Installation instructions
are also available in the Technical Bulletin area of the CPE website.
WARNING
Operation using the alternative main jet at elevations lower
than the recommended minimum altitude can damage the
engine. For operation at lower elevations, the originally
supplied standard main jet must be used. Operating the
engine with the wrong engine configuration at a given altitude
may increase its emissions and decrease fuel efficiency and
performance.
MAINTENANCE
Make certain that the log splitter is kept clean and stored
properly. Only operate the unit on a flat, level surface in a clean,
dry operating environment. DO NOT expose the unit to extreme
conditions, excessive dust, dirt, moisture or corrosive vapors.
Inspect all air vents and cooling slots to ensure that they are clean
and unobstructed.
Clean spark arrester every 100 hours.
Check and tighten all bolts and nuts before operating the log
splitter.
WARNING
Never operate a damaged or defective log splitter.
WARNING
Improper maintenance will void your warranty.
NOTICE
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of emission control
devices and systems may be performed by any non-road
engine repair establishment or individual.
The part number and recommended minimum altitude for the
application of the high altitude carburetor main jet is listed in the
table below.
In order to select the correct high altitude main jet it is necessary
to identify the carburetor model. For this purpose, a code is
stamped on the side of the carburetor. Select the correct high
altitude jet part number corresponding to the carburetor code
found on your particular carburetor.
The owner/operator is responsible for all periodic maintenance.
Complete all scheduled maintenance in a timely manner.
Correct any issue before operating the log splitter.

CHAMPION POWER EQUIPMENT, INC. (CPE),
THE UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION AGENCY (U.S. EPA)
EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY
Your Champion Power Equipment (CPE) engine complies with U.S. EPA emission regulations.
YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS:
The US EPA AND CPE are pleased to explain the Federal Emission Control Systems Warranty on your 2019 small off-road engine (SORE)
and engine powered equipment. New engines and equipment must be designed, built and equipped, at the time of sale, to meet U.S.
EPA regulations for small off-road engines (SORE). CPE warrants the emission control system on your small off-road engine (SORE)
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 (SORE) at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts and labor.
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, an 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 (SORE) 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 off-road engine (SORE), 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 (SORE) owner, you should however be aware that CPE may deny you warranty coverage if your small, off-road
engine (SORE) or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved modifications.
You are responsible for presenting your small off-road engine (SORE) 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:
The following are specific provisions relative to your Emission Control System (ECS) Warranty Coverage.
1. APPLICABILITY: This warranty shall apply to 1997 and later model year small off-road engines (SORE). 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 (SORE) is:
2a. Designed, built and equipped so as to conform to U.S. EPA emissions standards for spark-ignited engines at or below 19 kilowatts.
2b. 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:
3a. 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.
3b. 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.
3c. 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 emissionsrelated 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.
3d. 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.
3e. 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.
3f. 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.
3g. 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.
3h. 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.
3i. 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.
3j. 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.

TO OBTAIN WARRANTY SERVICE:

sell and service that CPE product during his normal business hours. Alternate service locations defined in Section (3)(f.) above must be
