Manual Before Operating This Machine
The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible hazardous conditions. This manual uses a series of symbols and signal words intended to convey the level of impor­tance of the safety messages. The progression of symbols is described below. Remember that safety messages by themselves do not eliminate danger and are not a substitute for proper accident prevention measures. Always use common sense and good judgment.
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, WILL result in death or serious injury.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, COULD result in death or serious injury.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, MAY result in minor or moderate injury. It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices.
This symbol is used to alert the user to useful information about

Safety Instructions for Machinery
OWNER’S MANUAL. Read and understand this
owner’s manual BEFORE using machine.
TRAINED OPERATORS ONLY. Untrained oper­ators have a higher risk of being hurt or killed. Only allow trained/supervised people to use this machine. When machine is not being used, dis­connect power, remove switch keys, or lock-out machine to prevent unauthorized use—especially around children. Make workshop kid proof!
DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do not use machinery in areas that are wet, cluttered, or have poor lighting. Operating machinery in these areas greatly increases the risk of accidents and injury.
MENTAL ALERTNESS REQUIRED. Full mental alertness is required for safe operation of machin­ery. Never operate under the influence of drugs or alcohol, when tired, or when distracted.
ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT INJURY RISKS. You can be shocked, burned, or killed by touching live electrical components or improperly grounded machinery. To reduce this risk, only allow qualified service personnel to do electrical installation or repair work, and always disconnect power before accessing or exposing electrical equipment.
DISCONNECT POWER FIRST. nect machine from power supply BEFORE making adjustments, changing tooling, or servicing machine. This prevents an injury risk from unintended startup or contact with live electrical components.
EYE PROTECTION. Always wear ANSI-approved safety glasses or a face shield when operating or observing machinery to reduce the risk of eye injury or blindness from flying particles. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT approved safety glasses.
Always discon-

WEARING PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear clothing, apparel or jewelry that can become entangled in moving parts. Always tie back or cover long hair. Wear non-slip footwear to reduce risk of slipping and losing control or accidentally contacting cutting tool or moving parts.
HAZARDOUS DUST. Dust created by machinery operations may cause cancer, birth defects, or long-term respiratory damage. Be aware of dust hazards associated with each workpiece mate­rial. Always wear a NIOSH-approved respirator to reduce your risk.
HEARING PROTECTION. Always wear hear­ing protection when operating or observing loud machinery. Extended exposure to this noise without hearing protection can cause permanent hearing loss.
REMOVE ADJUSTING TOOLS. Tools left on machinery can become dangerous projectiles upon startup. Never leave chuck keys, wrenches, or any other tools on machine. Always verify removal before starting!
USE CORRECT TOOL FOR THE JOB. Only use this tool for its intended purpose—do not force it or an attachment to do a job for which it was not designed. Never make unapproved modifica­tions—modifying tool or using it differently than intended may result in malfunction or mechanical failure that can lead to personal injury or death!
AWKWARD POSITIONS. Keep proper footing and balance at all times when operating machine. Do not overreach! Avoid awkward hand positions that make workpiece control difficult or increase the risk of accidental injury.
CHILDREN & BYSTANDERS. Keep children and bystanders at a safe distance from the work area. Stop using machine if they become a distraction.
GUARDS & COVERS. Guards and covers reduce accidental contact with moving parts or flying debris. Make sure they are properly installed, undamaged, and working correctly BEFORE operating machine.
FORCING MACHINERY. Do not force machine. It will do the job safer and better at the rate for which it was designed.
NEVER STAND ON MACHINE. Serious injury may occur if machine is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.
STABLE MACHINE. Unexpected movement dur­ing operation greatly increases risk of injury or loss of control. Before starting, verify machine is stable and mobile base (if used) is locked.
USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult this owner’s manual or the manufacturer for rec­ommended accessories. Using improper acces­sories will increase the risk of serious injury.
UNATTENDED OPERATION. To reduce the risk of accidental injury, turn machine OFF and ensure all moving parts completely stop before walking away. Never leave machine running while unattended.
MAINTAIN WITH CARE. Follow all maintenance instructions and lubrication schedules to keep machine in good working condition. A machine that is improperly maintained could malfunction, leading to serious personal injury or death.
DAMAGED PARTS. Regularly inspect machine for damaged, loose, or mis-adjusted parts—or any condition that could affect safe operation. Immediately repair/replace BEFORE operating machine. For your own safety, DO NOT operate machine with damaged parts!
MAINTAIN POWER CORDS. When disconnect­ing cord-connected machines from power, grab and pull the plug—NOT the cord. Pulling the cord may damage the wires inside. Do not handle cord/plug with wet hands. Avoid cord damage by keeping it away from heated surfaces, high traffic areas, harsh chemicals, and wet/damp locations.
EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If at any time you experience difficulties performing the intend­ed operation, stop using the machine! Contact our Technical Support at (570) 546-9663.

Additional Safety for Log Splitters
HYDRAULIC PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE.
Serious injury or death can occur from getting hands or fingers crushed by logs or amputated by splitting wedge. Severe burns can be caused by touching hot parts during operation. Death can result from getting accidentally injected by hydraulic fluid or inhaling carbon monoxide. Workpieces can be ejected by splitter and strike operator or bystanders. To minimize risk of injury, anyone operating this machine MUST completely heed hazards and warnings below.
HOT ENGINE. Motor and other parts of machine
get hot during operation. Allow to cool before placing hands near motor, hydraulic cylinder, or hydraulic lines, adding fuel, or performing any service or maintenance.
SUPPORTING LOGS BY HAND. Never use any part of your body to guide or steady a log when ram is moving. Failure to follow this instruction can result in crushing or amputation injuries.
ADEQUATE VENTILATION. The log splitter engine produces carbon monoxide, which is a poisonous gas. Make sure work area is adequate­ly ventilated. Never operate this machine indoors or in any type of enclosed area.
FLUID INJECTION. Fluid pressures developed from this machine are up to 3000 PSI, which are high enough to penetrate your skin and enter your bloodstream. Hydraulic fluid injected into your bloodstream is a medical emergency. If not treat­ed immediately, this blood poisoning could result in an aggressive infection, amputation, or death. Keep body parts away from any high-pressure hydraulic leak.
CORRECT USAGE. Never split wood across grain or use log splitter to split concrete blocks, rocks, or to bend metal.
PROTECTING CHILDREN. Keep children away from log splitter at all times! It is not a toy. Never allow any child to climb or ride on log splitter.
FUEL SPILLS. Fuel exposed to hot engine com­ponents may ignite. Thoroughly clean all fuel spills before starting engine.
TROUBLESHOOTING. If you suspect a hydraulic leak, DO NOT use your hand or fingers to locate it. Instead, keep your skin at least 12" away from potential leaking areas and move a strip of card­board to where leak may exist and watch to see if hydraulic oil is sprayed onto cardboard. Some high-pressure streams can be almost invisible to the naked eye.
Adjusting pressure limit screw may lead to hydrau­lic explosion and seriously injure operator and bystanders. The pressure relief valve is factory set and should not be adjusted unless by professional hydraulic technician.
TOWING. This log splitter is not designed to be towed on logging roads, forest service roads, pub­lic roads, or highways. This machine is designed for job site towing only where speed will not exceed maximum speed listed in Data Sheet.
WORKPIECE SELECTION. Logs with extensive knotting may be difficult or impossible to split. Making repeated attempts to split an unsuitable log will increase wear on the pressure relief valve, hydraulic lines, and increase risk of operator injury.
CORRECT USAGE. Never attempt to split more than one log at a time. Doing so may cause logs to fly off splitter with great force, resulting in seri­ous injury or death.
MACHINE LOCATION. Never leave splitter run­ning unattended, always block wheels to prevent rolling, and store unit in locked location.

SECTION 3: OPERATIONS
To reduce your risk of serious injury, read this entire manual BEFORE
The purpose of this overview is to provide the nov­ice machine operator with a basic understanding of how the machine is used during operation, so the
discussed later
in this manual
Due to the generic nature of this overview, it is not intended to be an instructional guide. To learn more about specific operations, read this entire manual and rienced research outside of this manual by reading "how­to" books, trade magazines, or websites.
Operation Overview
To complete a typical operation, the operator does the following:
1. Places log splitter on flat, stable work
surface, and blocks wheels.
machine controls/components
are easier to understand.
seek additional training from expe-
machine operators, and do additional
using machine.
Bodily injury could result from using this machine. Always wear safety glasses, hear­ing protection, leather work boots, and heavy-duty leather work gloves when operating this machine.
2. Makes sure support leg is secured in down
position.
3. Checks that engine and hydraulic tank are filled with proper amount of fluid.
4. Sets up log splitter for horizontal or vertical operation. If operating in horizontal position, ensures beam is secured with beam lock pin; if operating in vertical position, ensures foot plate sits on flat, stable ground.
5. Puts on safety glasses, hearing protection, leather work boots, and leather work gloves.
6. Turns engine ON.
7. Places log lengthwise on beam and flat
against foot plate.
8. Moves control lever to forward position to drive wedge through log, then moves lever to reverse position to retract wedge. After wedge retracts, lever automatically resets to neutral position.
9. Repeats Steps 4–8 as needed for remaining logs, then turns engine OFF.
NEVER run engine indoors such as in a garage, barn, carport, or storage shed, even if it is ventilated. Engine exhaust is poison­ous and can kill animals and you without warning.
If you are not experienced with this type of machine, WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND that you seek additional training outside of this manual. Read books/magazines or get formal training before beginning any proj­ects. Regardless of the content in this sec­tion, Grizzly Industrial will not be held liable for accidents caused by lack of training.

Considerations
TransportingJob Site
Work Location
Only use this log splitter outdoors, and never leave the area while the engine is running. NEVER run the engine indoors such as in a garage, barn, carport, or storage shed, even if it is ventilated. Engine exhaust is poisonous and can kill people and animals without warning.
Always use the splitter on a flat, stable work sur­face, and block the log splitter wheels so it cannot roll forward or backward.
Position the log splitter in a well lit, flat area at least seven feet away from any dry leaves or com­bustibles, and at least 25 feet from any fresh air intake supplying working or living areas.
Working Clearances
Allow enough room on all sides to move logs to and from the splitter.
Keep your work zone clear of lumber to avoid trip­ping hazards while using the machine.
Log splitter is NOT designed to be towed on logging roads, forest service roads, public roads, or highways. It is designed for towing only where maximum speed will not exceed 45 MPH. Log splitter must be transported between job sites on trailer capable of carrying 1000 lbs.
To tow splitter:
1. Lower log splitter cylinder and beam to hori-
zontal position, and lock with beam lock pin (see Figure 33).
Beam Lock Pin
Figure 33. Beam lock pin location.
2. Raise and lock support leg in up position with support-leg lock pin (see Figure 34).
3. Raise coupler lock lever (see Figure 34) to
unlatch it, and place coupler onto tow ball.

5. Push down on coupler lock lever until it pulls
the lock tongue up against underside of tow ball and locks tow ball and coupler together.
6. Secure safety chains (see Figure 34) to tow vehicle and double-check all your connections.
7. Close fuel shutoff valve (see Figure 35) on engine carburetor to prevent fuel leakage.
8. Make sure engine gas cap (see Figure 35) is secure and there are no tools or logs still on log splitter. Never allow any riders or cargo on log splitter while towing.
Gas Cap
When the engine is running and the control lever is in the neutral position (see Figure 36), the hydraulic pump delivers hydraulic fluid at 11 GPM through the control valve and back into the hydraulic tank.

9. Tow log splitter responsibly! Do not tow it while engine is operating, and take pre­cautions to make sure machine will not tip over during towing, causing a fuel leak and possible fire.
When you move the control lever to the forward position, the control valve diverts hydraulic fluid up to 3600 PSI to one side of the splitter piston, moving the splitting wedge into the log and split­ting the log in half. The maximum distance of the wedge stroke is 23
When you move the control lever to the full reverse position, the lever locks in retract mode, and the control valve diverts the hydraulic fluid to the other side of the splitter piston. As a result, both of your hands are free to load the next log for splitting.
When the ram fully retracts, the control lever automatically moves back to neutral, and the log splitter is ready to split another log.

Splitting Logs
This log splitter is ONLY designed to split wood with the direction of the grain. DO NOT attempt to split or crush wood against the grain, or split brick, concrete blocks, or rock. If you do, you will dam­age the machine, void the warranty, and possibly severely injure or kill bystanders or yourself.
The log splitter can be operated in either the hori­zontal or vertical position, as shown in Figure 37. The horizontal position is generally for lighter, easy-to-lift logs; the vertical position is generally for splitting heavier logs that are difficult to lift onto the log splitter.
To operate log splitter:
1. Read and understand this entire manual and
Kohler engine manual.
Do NOT touch hydraulic cylinder or hydrau­lic tube during or immediately after opera­tion. These components get extremely hot. Allow them to cool before repositioning ram and beam during following step.
4. Move beam and cylinder assembly to either
horizontal or vertical position (see Figure 37).
Horizontal Operation: Beam lock pin
automatically locks log splitter into position. Pull up on beam to ensure splitter is locked. Operator stands on side near control lever.
Vertical Operation: Pull beam lock pin out
and rotate beam and cylinder up until foot plate sits squarely on level ground. Operator stands in front of splitter on side by control lever.
2. Verify your job site location meets at least the minimum requirements for safety and use. Refer to Job Site Considerations on
Page 22 for details.
