Preparation for Operation

• Save all instructions

Before Using the Log Splitter:

NOTE: Before operating the Log Splitter, the vent screw MUST ALWAYS BE LOOSENED THREE TURNS until air

can move in and out of the oil tank smoothly. Air flow through the vent screw hole should be detectable during log splitter operations. Before moving the Log Splitter, make sure the vent screw is tightened to avoid oil leakage.

NOTICE

Failure to loosen the vent screw will keep the air inside the hydraulic reservoir sealed and it will be compressed. This compressed air will damage the seals of the hydraulic system and may cause permanent damage to the Log Splitter.

Assure the power cord is routed away from all moving parts and sharp edges and is not under the support legs of the Log Splitter.

Checking Hydraulic Fluid Level:

NOTICE

The Log Splitter is filled with hydraulic fluid at the factory, but check the level prior to each use.

1. Make sure the Log Splitter is unplugged.

2. Using the handle, stand the Log Splitter on the end near the wheels.

3. Unscrew oil drain bolt with dipstick to remove it, wipe clean and reinsert the bolt with dipstick.

Maximum Pressure Limiting Screw:

4. Remove the dipstick and check to see if the oil is between the two grooves.

5. If additional fluid is required, fill with fresh hydraulic oil until the level is between the two grooves of the dipstick.

6. Replace and tighten the dipstick bolt.

NOTICE

Do NOT adjust the maximum pressure limiting screw. The maximum pressure was set at the factory by qualified mechanics using professional instruments. Unauthorized resetting may result in serious injury or damage to the Log Splitter.

Operation

• Save all instructions

Controlling the Log Splitter:

NOTE: The operator zone is when the operator is positioned at the rear of the Log Splitter near the control lever.

This Log Splitter is equipped with a control system that requires use of both hands of the operator. The left hand controls the hydraulic control lever while the right hand controls the push button on/off switch. The Log Splitter will not operate if either control is not simultaneously engaged. Only after the hydraulic control lever is released will the log ram return backward to the starting position.

Splitting Wood:

Place the log lengthwise on the Log Splitter and split in the direction of the grain. Using the right hand, push down and hold the push button on/off switch. Using the left hand, push down and hold the hydraulic control lever. Once the wood is split, release both controls. The ram will auto return to the starting position. (Fig 4)

WARNING

Impact Hazard! Log may suddenly split and eject. Stay clear of the projected wood.

If the Log Splitter stalls while trying to split a log, retract the ram, rotate the log by 90o to see whether it can be split in a different direction. If you are not able to split the log, this means that its hardness or structure exceeds the capacity of the machine and the log should be discarded.

Always set the log rmly on the log retaining tubes and

log cradle. Make sure the log does not twist, rock or slip while being split. Do not elevate the log on the wedge. This may result in machine damage. (Fig 5)

Use of the Stroke Limiter:

Split the log in the direction of its grain. Do not place log across the Log Splitter for splitting. It may be dangerous and may seriously damage the machine. Do not attempt to split 2 pieces of logs at the same time.

If the wood to be split is consistently shorter than 20.5 inches in length, you can use the stroke limiter to control the starting distance between the ram and the wedge.

To adjust: With the ram fully extended, release the motor switch while continuing to hold down the hydraulic control lever. Have a second person loosen the adjustable knob and slide the stroke limiter to the desired postion. With the knob oriented so it faces away from the unit, tighten the knob. Release the hydraulic control lever only after the second person has secured the knob and moved away from the Log Splitter. The ram will now stop at a position which requires less travel until it engages the log.

WARNING

Pinch Hazard! Keep hands and finger clear of all moving parts.

NOTICE

At the end of the stroke or if the units stalls, do not continue to engage both controls simultaneously for more than 5 seconds. After this time interval, the oil will overheat and the machine could be damaged.

Freeing a Jammed Log:

1. Release both controls.

2. After the ram completely retracts, insert a wood wedge under the jammed log. (Fig 6)

3. Using the ram, slowly push the wood wedge completely under the jammed log.

4. Repeat above procedure with sharper slope wedge woods until the log is completely freed.

CAUTION

The jammed log may suddenly disengage. Maintain a safe distance away from the log during this operation.
