manual. As with any type of power equipment, carelessness or error on the part of the oper
ator can result in serious injury. If you violate any of these rules, you may cause serious
injury to yourself or others.
Towing
• This unit should not be towed on any street,
highway or public road without checking the
existing federal, local or state requirements.
Such information may be obtained by calling your
state or local bureau of motor vehicles. Any
licensing or modifications needed to comply with
federal, local or state vehicle requirements is the
sole responsibility of the purchaser.*
• Make sure you follow the wiring diagram color
codes when installing the light kit on the log
splitter, (e.g. ground to ground, left turn to left
turn, etc.). Failure to wire unit correctly may
cause the tow vehicle wiring to overheat and/or
the log splitter lights to operate incorrectly. It may
be necessary to replace the turn signal flasher
unit in your tow vehicle if it is not capable of
operating the additional lights on the log splitter.
• Before towing the log splitter on a street, highway
or public road, verify that all lights are functioning
properly and the yellow side reflectors are in
position. Replace bulbs if they are burnt out.
• Before towing, always check to be certain the log
splitter is correctly and securely attached to the
tow vehicle, and safety chains are in place.
Leave slack in chains for turning allowance.
• Use a class I or higher hitch with a 1 -7/8" ball.
Keep ball socket and clamp face lubricated with
chassis grease.
• Be sure the coupler is secured to the hitch ball
and the lock lever is down tight and locked.
• Check vehicle hitch, ball and coupler for signs of
wear or damage. Replace any parts that are worn
or damaged before towing.
• The coupler must be secured to the log splitter
tongue tube with the original equipment bolts and
nuts. See your authorized service dealer for
replacement parts. Coupler nuts should be
tightened securely (20 foot pounds).
• Make sure beam assembly is securely latched in
the horizontal position and jack stand (if provided)
is pivoted and secured in the up position before
towing log splitter. Never tow with the beam in
vertical position.
• Do not tow the log splitter faster than 45 MPH,
Higher speeds may damage log splitter.
Excessive high speeds may cause the log splitter
to “fishtair' or otherwise become unstable.
• Check the tire pressure on the log splitter tires. It
should not exceed 30 p.s.i. for highway travel.
• When parking, storing or using your log splitter,
keep the coupler off the ground so dirt will not
build up in the ball socket.
• Do not allow anyone to sit or ride on your log
splitter. They can easily fall off and be seriously
injured.
Training
• Before operating this log splitter, read and
understand this operator’s 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. Keep this manual in a safe
place for future and regular reference and for
ordering replacement parts.
• Never use your splitter for any other puqsose than
splitting wood. It is designed for this use and any
other use may cause an injury. Your log splitter is
a precision piece of power equipment, not a toy.
Therefore, exercise extreme caution at all times.
• Never allow children to operate your log splitter.
Do not allow adults to operate it without proper
instruction. Only persons well acquainted with
these rules of safe operation should be allowed to
use your log splitter.
• Only the operator is to be near your log splitter
during use. Keep all others, including pets and
children, a minimum of 20 feet away from your
work zone. Flying wood can be hazardous. If a
helper is assisting in loading logs, never activate
Page 4
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.
• No one should operate this unit while intoxicated
or while taking medication that impairs the
senses or reactions. A clear mind is essential for
safety. Never allow a person who is tired or
otherwise not alert to use your log splitter.
Preparation
• 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 protective hearing
devices as needed.
Always wear safety shoes. A dropped log can
seriously injure your foot.
Always wear safety glasses or goggles while
operating your splitter. A piece of splitting log
could fly off and hit your eyes.
Wear leather work gloves. Be sure they are tight
fitting without loose cuffs or draw strings.
Use your log splitter in daylight, or under good
artificial light.
Never operate your splitter on slippery, wet,
muddy or icy surfaces. Safe footing is essential
in preventing accidents.
Never operate your splitter while attached to a
towing vehicle.
Only operate your splitter on level ground and
not on the side of a hill. It could tip, or rolling logs
or poor footing could cause an accident.
Operating the splitter on level ground also
prevents the spillage of gasoline from the fuel
tank.
• Never attempt to move the log splitter over hilly
or uneven terrain without a tow vehicle or
adequate help.
• Always block the wheels to prevent movement
of log splitter while in operation.
• Check the fuel before starting the engine.
Gasoline is an extremely flammable fuel. Do not
fill the gasoline tank indoors, when the engine is
running, or while the engine is still hot. Replace
gasoline cap secureiy and wipe off any spilled
gasoline before starting the engine as it may
cause a fire or explosion.
• Both ends of each log must be cut as square as
possible to help prevent the log from riding out of
the splitter during operation.
Operation
■ Vertical Operating Position: Stand in front of
the log splitter.
Horizontal Operating Position: Stand behind
the reservoir tank. See iiiustrations.
Know how to stop the unit and disengage the
controls.
Never place hands or feet between log and
splitting wedge or between log and end plate
during forward or reverse stroke. To do so may
result in crushed or amputated fingers or toes, or
worse, you may lose an arm or foot.
Do not straddle the splitter when using it. A slip
in any position could result in a serious injury.
Do not step over your log splitter when the
engine is running. You may trip or accidentally
activate the splitting wedge if you step over. If
you need to get to the other side, walk around.
Never try to split two logs on top of each other.
One may fly out and injure you.
When loading the log splitter, place your hands
on the side of the log, not at the ends. Never
attempt to toad your splitter while the splitting
wedge is in motion. You may get caught by the
wedge and injured.
Only use your hand to operate the splitting
wedge or control lever. Never use your foot or a
rope or any other extension device. This could
result in your inability to stop your splitter quickly
enough to avoid injury.
Always keep fingers away from any cracks that
open in the log during splitting operation. They
can quickly close and pinch or amputate your
fingers.
Never attempt to split woods across the grain.
Some types of wood may burst or fly out of your
splitter and result in injury to you or a bystander.
Page 5
For logs that are not cut square, the longest
portion of the log should be rotated down and
the most square end placed against the splitting
wedge.
Keep your work area clean. Immediately
remove split wood around your splitter so that
you do not stumble over it. Clean chips and dirt
off end plate (wood platform) after each tog is
split, or whenever necessary to maintain flat
contact between wood and end plate (platform).
Never move the tog 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 splitter, even for a short period of
time. Someone could accidentally activate the
splitting wedge and be injured.
Do not run engine in an enclosed area. Exhaust
gases contain carbon monoxide. This odorless
gas can be deadly when inhaled.
Be careful not to touch the muffler after the
engine has been running. It will be HOT!
If the equipment should start to vibrate
abnormally, stop the engine and check
immediately for the cause. Vibration is generally
a warning of trouble.
When cleaning, repairing or Inspecting, make
certain all moving parts have stopped.
Disconnect the spark plug wire and keep the
wire away from the plug to prevent accidental
starting.
Customer Responsibilities
• Do not operate your splitter in poor mechanical
condition or when in need of repair.
• Periodically check that all nuts, bolts, screws,
hose clamps and hydraulic fittings are tight to be
sure equipment is in safe working condition.
Where appropriate, check all safety guards and
shields to be sure they are in the proper position.
Never operate your splitter with safety guards,
shields or other protective features removed.
These safety devices are for your protection.
• Replace all damaged or worn parts such as
hydraulic hoses and fittings immediately with
manufacturer approved replacement parts.
• Do not change the engine governor settings or
overspeed the engine. This increases the
hazard of personal injury. The maximum engine
speed is preset by the manufacturer and is
within safety limits.
• Do not 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. Such alterations may cause your splitter
to be unsafe.
Perform all recommended maintenance
procedures before you use your splitter.
Do not service or repair your log splitter without
disconnecting the spark plug wire and moving it
away from the spark plug.
Never store the equipment with gasoline in the
tank inside of a building where ignition sources
are present, such as hot water and space
heaters, clothes dryers and the like. Allow the
engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.
Always store gasoline in an approved, tightly
sealed container. Store the container in a cool,
dry place. Do not store in a building where
ignition sources are present.
To reduce fire hazard, keep engine free of grass,
leaves, wood chips, and excessive grease and
oil.
The hydraulic system of your log splitter requires
careful inspection, along with the mechanical
parts. Be sure to replace frayed, kinked, or
othenwise damaged hydraulic components.
Fluid escaping from a very small hole can be
almost invisible. Do not check for leaks with your
hand. Escaping fluid under pressure can have
sufficient force to penetrate skin, causing
serious personal injury. Leaks can be located by
passing a piece of cardboard or wood over the
suspected leak and looking for discoloration.
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. .
Do not remove the cap from the hydraulic tank or
reservoir while your log splitter is running. Hot oil
under pressure could cause injury.
The pressure relief valve on your splitter is
preset at the factory. Do not adjust the valve.
Only a qualified service technician should
perform this adjustment.
Completely drain fuel tank prior to storage. This
guards against accumulation of fuel fumes
which could result in afire hazard.
Never store log splitter outside without a
waterproof cover. Rain will cause rust on the
inside of the cylinder.
Important Information
Always:
• Use clean fluid and check fluid level regularly
• Use Dexron III Automatic Transmission Fluid or
10W non-foaming hydraulic fluid.

Carburetor
If you think the carburetor on your log splitter engine
needs to be adjusted, contact Sears service center.
Engine performance may be affected in altitudes
above 4,000 feet. To improve engine performance,
disconnect spark plug wire, and move it
away from spark plug before performing any
adjustments or repairs.
Maximum tire pressure under any
circumstances is 30 p.s.i. Equal tire pressure
should be maintained on all tires.
WARNING: Excessive pressure (over 30
p.s.i.) when seating beads may cause tire/
rim assembly to burst with force sufficient to
cause serious injury.
WARNING: Do not operate the log splitter
A
install a High Altitude Adjustment Kit which is
available at any authorized Tecumseh service outlet.
without a muffler, or tamper with the
exhaust system. Damaged mufflers or spark
arresters could create a fire hazard.
Engine Speed
The engine speed on your log splitter has been set at
the factory. Do not attempt to increase engine speed
or it may result in personal injury. If you believe the
engine is running too fast or too slow, take the
equipment to the nearest Sears service center for
repair and adjustment.
Important: Changing of engine governed speed will
void engine warranty.
Flexible Pump Coupling
The flexible pump coupling has a “spider” which is a
nylon insert located between the pump and engine
shaft. Over a period of time, this insert will harden and
deteriorate. Replace the spider insert and/or the
coupling halves if you detect vibration or noise coming
from the area between the engine and the pump. If the
15
Page 16
spider fails completely, you will experience a loss of
power.
ys WARNING: Never hit the engine shaft in
^1^ any manner, as a blow will cause permanent
damage to the engine or the pump.
Follow the instructions carefully as the alignment of
the couplings is critical.
» Disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark
plug, and keep it away from the spark plug.
• Using a 1/2 Inch wrench, remove three nuts and
lock washers which secure the pump to the
coupling shield. Two nuts are at the bottom
corners and one is in the top center. See Figure
17. Remove the pump,
• Remove the nylon spider insert from the
coupling and inspect for wear. Replace if
necessary.
• Inspect the engine coupling half jaws for signs of
wear. Replace if necessary.

• Align pump coupling half with nylon “spider'’ by
rotating engine using starter handle.
• Slide coupling half into place while guiding three
mounting bolts through holes in pump support
bracket.
Note: The pump coupling half can be rotated by hand
to aid in alignment. If the two parts are not aligned
right, the unit wili not operate properly and damage
could occur.
• Secure with nuts and washers removed earlier.
• Set .035 to .060 inch clearance between the
nylon "spider" and the engine coupling half by
sliding a matchbox cover between the nylon
“spider” and the engine coupling half and
moving pump coupling half as needed. See
Figure 18.
• Apply Loctite'^'^ to threads of set screw. Tighten

STORAGE
Prepare your log splitter for storage at the end of the
season or if the log splitter will not be used for 30 days
or more.
WARNING: Never store machine with fuel
in the fuel tank inside of building where
dk
NOTE: A yearly check-up by your local Sears service
center is a good way to make certain your iog splitter
will provide maximum performance for the next
season.
fumes may reach an open flame or spark, or
where ignition sources are present such as
hot water and space heaters, furnaces,
clothes dryers, stoves, electric motors, etc.
LOG SPLITTER
• Clean the log splitter thoroughly.
• Wipe unit with an oiled rag to prevent rust,
especially wedge and beam.
ENGINE
IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent gum deposits
from forming in essential fuel system parts such as
carburetor, fuel filter, fuel hose, or tank during
storage. Also, experience indicates that alcohol
blended fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or
methanol) can attract moisture which leads to
separation and formation of acids during storage.
Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine
while in storage.
• Drain the fuel tank.
• Start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines
and carburetor are empty.
• Drain carburetor by pressing upward on bowt
drain which is located below the carburetor.
• Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products
in the fuel tank or permanent damage may
occur.
• Use fresh fuel next season.
NOTE: Fuei stabilizer is an acceptabie alternative in
minimizing the formation of fuel gum deposits during
storage.
• Add stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or storage
container.
• Always follow the mix ratio found on stabilizer
container.
• Run engine at least 10 minutes after adding
stabilizer to allow the stabilizer to reach the
carburetor.
• Do not drain the gas tank and carburetor if using
fuel stabilizer. Drain all the oil from the
crankcase (this should be done after the engine
has been operated and is still warm) and refill
the crankcase with fresh oil.
• If you have drained the fuel tank, protect the
inside of the engine as follows.
• Remove spark plug, pour approximately 1/2
ounce (approximately one tablespoon) of engine
oil into cylinder and crank slowly to distribute oii.
• Replace spark plug.
OTHER
• Do not store gasoline from one season to
another.
• Replace your gasoline can if it starts to rust.
Rust and/or dirt in the gasoline will cause
problems. Store unit in a clean, dry area. Do not
store next to corrosive materials, such as
fertilizer.
NOTE: If storing in an unventilated or metal storage
shed, be certain to rustproof the equipment by coating
with a light oil or silicone.
