Personal Protection

• TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH, CAREFULLY READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL

INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO THE WOOD SPLITTER INCLUDING THE ENGINE MANUFACTURER’S OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTION MANUAL.

• ALWAYS WEAR PROTECTIVE GEAR, SUCH AS SAFETY GOGGLES, TIGHT-FITTING GLOVES

WITHOUT DRAW STRINGS OR LOOSE CUFFS, STEEL-TOED SHOES, AND A PROTECTIVE HEARING DEVICE.

• TO PREVENT INJURY, MAKE SURE ALL DECALS ARE ATTACHED TO THE WOOD SPLITTER AND

ARE LEGIBLE AT ALL TIMES.

Worksite Safety

• TO AVOID TRIPPING, DO NOT LEAVE TOOLS, LOGS, OR OTHER ITEMS LAYING AROUND THE

WORK AREA.

• NEVER OPERATE YOUR WOOD SPLITTER ON SLIPPERY, WET, MUDDY, OR ICY SURFACES. THE

LOCATION YOU CHOOSE SHOULD BE SOLID, LEVEL, DRY, AND FREE FROM ANY TALL GRASS, BRUSH, OR OTHER INTERFERENCES.

• NEVER OPERATE THE ENGINE IN AN ENCLOSED AREA. EXHAUST FUMES CONTAIN CARBON

MONOXIDE THAT CAN BE DEADLY WHEN INHALED. MAKE SURE THE AREA IS WELL VENTILATED.

• NEVER ATTEMPT TO MOVE YOUR WOOD SPLITTER OVER HILLY OR UNEVEN TERRAIN WITHOUT

A TOW VEHICLE.

• NEVER USE YOUR WOOD SPLITTER AT NIGHT.

• ALWAYS BLOCK THE WHEELS TO PREVENT MOVEMENT OF THE MACHINE WHILE IN

OPERATION.

Operating Safety

• ALLOW ONLY ONE (1) PERSON TO LOAD AND OPERATE THE WOOD SPLITTER.

• ALLOW ONLY ADULTS TO OPERATE THE WOOD SPLITTER. NO ONE UNDER THE AGE OF 18

SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO OPERATE THE WOOD SPLITTER.

6 DR

22-TON VERTICAL/HORIZONTAL WOOD SPLITTER

• ALWAYS KEEP BYSTANDERS, INCLUDING CHILDREN AND PETS, AT LEAST TWENTY-FIVE (25)

FEET AWAY FROM THE WORK AREA. ONLY THE OPERATOR SHOULD STAND NEAR THE EQUIPMENT AND ONLY WITHIN THE SAFE OPERATING AREA PRESCRIBED IN THIS MANUAL (SEE THE PHOTOS ON SAFE AND UNSAFE OPERATING ZONES IN THE “OPERATING YOUR WOOD SPLITTER” SECTION IN CHAPTER 4.)

• WHEN THE RAM OF THE WOOD SPLITTER IS IN THE RETURN MODE, KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF

THE MACHINE — THE WOOD SPLITTER IS DESIGNED TO AUTOMATICALLY STOP THE RAM WHEN THE CYLINDER IS FULLY RETRACTED.

• ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE SPARK PLUG WIRE WHEN THE WOOD SPLITTER IS NOT IN

OPERATION.

• DO NOT ALLOW ANY PERSON TO OPERATE THE WOOD SPLITTER UNTIL THEY HAVE READ

AND UNDERSTOOD THE SAFE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS CONTAINED IN THIS MANUAL.

• DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, ALTER YOUR WOOD SPLITTER. THIS EQUIPMENT

WAS DESIGNED AND ENGINEERED TO BE USED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS. ALTERING THE EQUIPMENT, OR USING THE EQUIPMENT IN SUCH A WAY AS TO CIRCUMVENT ITS DESIGN CAPABILITIES AND CAPACITIES, COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURY AND WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.

• NEVER OPERATE, OR ALLOW ANYONE ELSE TO OPERATE, THIS EQUIPMENT WHILE UNDER

THE INFLUENCE OF MEDICATION, DRUGS, OR ALCOHOL.

• NEVER WEAR LOOSE CLOTHING OR JEWELRY THAT MAY GET CAUGHT OR BECOME

ENTANGLED IN THE WOOD SPLITTER.

• NEVER PLACE HANDS OR FEET BETWEEN LOG AND SPLITTING WEDGE OR BETWEEN LOG

AND RAM DURING THE FORWARD OR REVERSE STROKE.

• DO NOT STRADDLE OR REACH ACROSS THE SPLITTING AREA WHEN OPERATING THE WOOD

SPLITTER.

• DO NOT STEP OVER YOUR WOOD SPLITTER WHEN THE ENGINE IS RUNNING, BECAUSE YOU

MAY TRIP OR ACCIDENTALLY ENGAGE THE RAM.

• NEVER ATTEMPT TO LOAD YOUR WOOD SPLITTER WHILE THE RAM IS IN MOTION.

• ONLY USE YOUR HAND TO OPERATE THE CONTROL VALVE HANDLE.

Log Splitting Safety

• ALWAYS KEEP YOUR FINGERS AWAY FROM ANY CRACKS THAT OPEN IN THE LOG DURING THE

• ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT BOTH ENDS OF THE LOG YOU ARE SPLITTING ARE CUT AS SQUARE

AS POSSIBLE. THIS WILL PREVENT THE LOG FROM SLIDING OUT OF POSITION WHILE UNDER PRESSURE. LOGS SHOULD BE 24 INCHES OR SHORTER IN LENGTH.

• NEVER TRY TO SPLIT TWO LOGS ON TOP OF EACH OTHER.

• NEVER PILE LOGS TO BE SPLIT IN A MANNER THAT WILL CAUSE YOU TO REACH ACROSS THE

WOOD SPLITTER.

Maintenance and Repair

• FOLLOW ALL SAFETY RULES. MOST ACCIDENTS INVOLVING THE OPERATION, MAINTENANCE, OR

REPAIR OF PRODUCTS OCCUR BECAUSE THE ASSEMBLER/OWNER/OPERATOR FAILED TO OBSERVE BASIC SAFETY RULES OR OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS.

• ALWAYS INSPECT YOUR WOOD SPLITTER BEFORE EACH USE. MAKE SURE ALL NUTS, BOLTS,

SCREWS, HYDRAULIC FITTINGS, HOSE CLAMPS, ETC. ARE SECURELY TIGHTENED.

• ALWAYS CHECK THE FLUID LEVEL IN THE HYDRAULIC FLUID TANK AND ENGINE OIL RESERVOIR

BEFORE EACH USE.

• NEVER OPERATE YOUR WOOD SPLITTER WHEN IT IS IN NEED OF REPAIR OR IS IN POOR

MECHANICAL CONDITION.

• NEVER TAMPER WITH THE ENGINE TO RUN IT AT EXCESSIVE SPEEDS. THE MAXIMUM ENGINE

SPEED IS PRESET AND IS WITHIN SAFETY LIMITS.

• NEVER MAKE ALTERATIONS TO YOUR WOOD SPLITTER IN ANY MANNER. SUCH ALTERATIONS MAY

CAUSE THE WOOD SPLITTER TO BECOME UNSAFE AND WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.

AND SECURELY ATTACHED TO THE TOWING VEHICLE. BE SURE THAT THE BALL HITCH YOU ARE USING IS THE PROPER SIZE FOR THE HITCH COUPLER ON THE LOG SPLITTER. BE SURE THE SAFETY CHAINS ARE PROPERLY HOOKED TO THE VEHICLE LEAVING ENOUGH SLACK FOR TURNING.

• ALWAYS ALLOW FOR ADDED LENGTH OF THE WOOD SPLITTER WHEN TURNING, PARKING,

CROSSING INTERSECTIONS, AND IN ALL DRIVING SITUATIONS.

• ALWAYS BE CAREFUL WHEN BACKING UP. YOU COULD JACKKNIFE YOUR WOOD SPLITTER IF

CARE IS NOT TAKEN.

• ALWAYS DISCONNECT YOUR WOOD SPLITTER FROM YOUR TOWING VEHICLE BEFORE

ATTEMPTING TO USE IT.

• ALWAYS REPLACE THE WOOD SPLITTER GAS CAP AND THE FUEL CONTAINER CAP SECURELY.

• IF GASOLINE IS SPILLED, MOVE THE MACHINE AWAY FROM THE AREA OF THE SPILL AND AVOID

CREATING ANY SOURCE OF IGNITION UNTIL THE SPILLED GASOLINE HAS COMPLETELY EVAPORATED.

• TAKE A CLASS B FIRE EXTINGUISHER WITH YOU WHEN OPERATING THE WOOD SPLITTER IN DRY

AREAS AS A PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE AGAINST POSSIBLE FLYING SPARKS.

• ALWAYS STORE GASOLINE IN AN APPROVED, TIGHTLY SEALED CONTAINER. STORE THE

CONTAINER IN A COOL, DRY PLACE. DO NOT STORE THE CONTAINER IN A HOUSE OR NEAR ANY HEATING APPLIANCE.

• DO NOT SMOKE OR HAVE OPEN FLAMES WHEN REFUELING THE ENGINE. DO NOT SPILL FUEL. IF

FUEL SHOULD SPILL, QUICKLY WIPE UP THE SPILL AND ALLOW THE EXCESS TO EVAPORATE BEFORE CONTINUING. MAKE SURE GASOLINE SOAKED RAGS ARE PROPERLY DISPOSED OF.

Preventing Fires

• NEVER OPERATE THE WOOD SPLITTER NEAR A FLAME OR SPARK. OIL AND GASOLINE ARE

FLAMMABLE AND CAN EXPLODE.

• NEVER SMOKE WHILE OPERATING OR REFUELING THE WOOD SPLITTER. GASOLINE, OIL, AND

EVEN GAS FUMES CAN EXPLODE.

• THE WOOD SPLITTER 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 LOCAL OR STATE LAWS (IF ANY). IF A SPARK ARRESTER IS USED, IT SHOULD BE MAINTAINED IN EFFECTIVE WORKING ORDER BY THE OWNER AND/OR OPERATOR.

A Note to All Users

Under California law, and the laws of some other states, you are not permitted to operate an internal combustion engine using hydrocarbon fuels without an engine spark arrester. This also applies to operation on US Forest Lands. All DR 22-TON VERTICAL/HORIZONTAL WOOD SPLITTERS shipped to California, New Mexico and Washington State are provided with spark arresters. Failure of the owner or operator to maintain this equipment in compliance with state regulations is a misdemeanor under California law and may be in violation of other state and/or federal regulations. Contact your local fire marshal or forest service for specific information in your area.

Tongue and Front Leg Assembly

1. Before removing the base unit from the pallet, remove

the tongue and front leg assembly from the pallet and fold the leg down and lock it into position with the spring pin. Install the tongue and front leg assembly onto the base using Two 1/2-13 x 3-1/2 inch long hex head bolts and Locknuts (Figure 5). Tighten the Locknuts securely. Pull the spring pin to fold the leg back in the up position. Roll the tongue/base unit off the pallet. Lower the front leg and lock it into position with the spring pin.
