REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE SAFETY:

• Do not operate your log splitter in poor mechanical condition or
when in need of repair.

• Periodically check that all nuts, bolts, and screws are tightened.

• Always perform recommended maintenance procedures before
using your log splitter.

• 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.

• Replace all damaged or worn parts immediately.

• Never tamper with the engine in order to operate at excessive
speeds. The maximum engine speed is preset by the manufac­turer.

• Do not service or repair your log splitter without removing the
spark plug wire.

• All replacement parts must meet manufacturer’s specifications.

TOWING SAFETY:

• Obey all federal, state and local regulations when towing on
public roads and highways.

• Before towing, be certain that your log splitter is correctly and
securely attached to the towing vehicle and that a safety chain is
in place.

• Never carry any cargo or wood on your log splitter. Do not allow
anyone to sit or ride on your log splitter.

• Before using your log splitter, disconnect it from the towing
vehicle.

• When turning, parking, crossing an intersection, and driving in all
situations allow for added length of your log splitter.

• Be careful when backing up.

• Adjust towing speed for terrain and conditions.

• Never operate your log splitter under the influence of alcohol,
drugs or medication. A clear mind is essential for safety.

• Maximum speed of 45 mph is recommended when towing log
splitter.

FIRE PREVENTION:

• Never operate your log splitter near a flame or spark. Hydraulic
oil and gasoline are flammable and can explode.

• Do not fill the gas tank while the engine is hot or running. Allow
the engine to cool before refueling.

• Never smoke while operating or refueling your log splitter. Gas
fumes can easily explode.

• Only refuel your log splitter outdoors in a clear area. Always use
an approved fuel container. Always replace the gas cap securely.

• If gas is spilled, move machine away from the area of the spill
and avoid creating any source of ignition until the spilled gas has
evaporated or been cleaned up.

• Keep a Class B fire extinguisher nearby when operating your log
splitter in dry areas as a precautionary measure against possible
flying sparks.

• Completely drain the fuel tank prior to storage. Do not siphon by
mouth.

• Always store gasoline in an approved, tightly sealed container.
Store the container in a cool, dry place. Do not store indoors or
near a heating appliance.

HYDRAULIC SAFETY:

• The hydraulic system and mechanical parts of your log split­ter require careful inspection. Be sure to replace any damaged
hydraulic component.

• Fluid escaping from a very small hole can be very difficult to see.
Do not check for leaks with your hand. Escaping fluid under pres­sure can have sufficient force to penetrate skin, causing serious
personal injury or even death. Leaks can be located by passing
a piece of cardboard or wood over the suspected leak. 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.

• 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.

• The pressure relief valve on your log splitter is preset at the fac­tory. Do not adjust the valve. Only a qualified service technician
should perform this adjustment.

TOWING:

1. The log splitter is equipped with a safety chain and a coupler that requires
a 2 inch diameter ball. Before towing, the safety chain must be secured
to the hitch or bumper of the vehicle and the kickstand rotated to the road
position. Local regulations should be checked regarding licensing, lights,
towing, etc. See also Towing Safety in the Safety information section of
this manual.

OPERATION:

1. Set up the log splitter on a clear, level area and block the wheels. Make
sure that the suction port on the reservoir is always on the lower side of
the log splitter.

2. Place a log on the beam against the foot plate. Make sure that the log is
placed securely on the foot plate and up against the beam.

3. Depress the control valve handle so that the cylinder will drive the wedge
into the log. Extend the cylinder until the log splits or travels to the end of
its stroke. If the log has not completely split after the cylinder has reached
the end of its extension, retract the cylinder.

IMPORTANT: LEAVING THE VALVE IN THE “ACTUATE” POSITION AT

THE END OF THE STROKE MAY DAMAGE THE PUMP. ALWAYS USE
EXTRA CARE WHEN SPLITTING LOGS WITH ENDS NOT SQUARE.

NOTE: For operation in wooded areas, obtain a spark arrestor for

the exhaust system from the manufacturer of your engine. See also
Fire Prevention in the Safety information section of this manual.

IMPORTANT: TO EXTEND THE LIFE OF THE HYDRAULIC CYLINDER,

AVOID “BOTTOMING OUT” WEDGE PLATE TO THE FOOT PIECE. TO
CONFORM WITH INDUSTRY SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS, THE
WEDGE STOPS TWO INCHES FROM THE END OF THE STROKE.

!

WARNING

ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES DURING OP­ERATION.

KEEP HANDS AND FEET CLEAR OF RAM, STRIP­PER CHANNELS AND FOOT PLATE AT ALL
TIMES.

DO NOT OPERATE LOG SPLITTER IF THE OIL
LEVEL IS MORE THAN TWO INCHES FROM TOP
OF TANK WHEN THE WEDGE IS IN THE RE­TURNED POSITION.

MAINTENANCE:

1. Consult the operating and maintenance instructions of the Engine
Operator’s Manual for engine care and maintenance.

2. Always check the oil level of the hydraulic reservoir before operation. Oil
must be no more than two inches from top of tank when the wedge is in
the returned position. Operating the log splitter without an adequate oil
supply will cause severe damage to the hydraulic pump.

3. Changetheoillteraftertherst25hoursofoperation.Thereafter,change
theoillterevery100hoursorseasonally,whichevercomesrst.

4. If the wedge becomes dull or nicked, it can be removed and sharpened.
While the log splitter is in the horizontal position, remove the 1/2” x 3-1/2”
bolt that connects the wedge to the hydraulic cylinder. Carefully rotate the
hydraulic cylinder, take special care not to damage the control valve. The
wedge can now be removed and sharpened.

6. Allreplacementpartsmustmeetmanufacturer’sspecications.

7. Check air pressure of tires before each use. Maintain pressure between
20 psi and 30 psi.

8. Grease wheel bearings annually.
