Only the operator is to be near the log splitter during use.
NEVER allow adults lacking proper instructions and understanding to operate this log splitter.
NEVER actuate the control until all people are clear of the work area.
NEVER wear loose clothing or jewelry that can be caught by moving parts of the log splitter. Keep clothing and hair away
from all moving parts when operating this log splitter.
NEVER operate the log splitter when under the inuence of alcohol, drugs or medication or when otherwise not alert
enough to operate dangerous machinery.
WORK AREA
NEVER operate the log splitter on slippery, wet, muddy or icy ground.
NEVER operate the log splitter in an enclosed area. Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide which can be deadly when
inhaled.
ONLY operate the log splitter on level ground. Operating on a slope could cause the log splitter to roll over or logs to fall
off.
ONLY operate the log splitter in daylight or under good articial light.
ALWAYS keep the work area clean. Remove split wood around the log splitter immediately so that you don’t stumble
over it.
PREPARATION OF THE LOG
Both ends of the log should be cut as square as possible to help prevent the log from riding out of the splitter during
operation. Do not split logs greater than 26 inches in length.
OPERATION OF THE LOG SPLITTER
ONLY operate the log splitter from the operator zone as
shown in the diagram. The operator has the safest and
most efcient access to the control valve and the beam
in this location. Operating the log splitter in another
location can result in serious injury or death.

ALWAYS block the wheels to prevent movement of the log splitter while in operation.
KNOW how to stop the log splitter and disengage the controls before operating it.
NEVER place hands or feet between the log and splitting wedge during forward or reverse stroke as this could result in
serious injury or death.
NEVER straddle or step over the log splitter during operation.
NEVER reach or bend over the log splitter to pick up a log.
NEVER try to split two logs on top of each other.
NEVER try to cross split a log.
NEVER attempt to load the log splitter when the ram or wedge is in motion.
NEVER use your foot, a rope or any extension device to operate the control lever on the valve. Only use hand.
NEVER move the log splitter while the engine is running. Shut off the engine if you are leaving the log splitter, even for a
short period of time.
NEVER touch the mufer and other hot areas of the engine during operation. Wait until the engine cools down.
GENERAL REPAIR
NEVER operate your log splitter when it is in poor mechanical condition or in need of repair.
NEVER alter your log splitter in any manner. Such alterations may cause your log splitter to be unsafe and will void the
warranty.
NEVER tamper with the engine to run it at excessive speeds. The maximum engine speed is preset by the manufacturer
and is within safety limits. Refer to the engine owner’s manual for your particular log splitter.
NEVER perform any service or repair on your log splitter without rst removing the spark plug wire.
ALWAYS perform all recommended maintenance procedures before using your log splitter.

MAINTENANCE & SAFETY
The hydraulic system of your log splitter requires careful inspection along with the mechanical parts. Be sure to
replace frayed, kinked, cracked or otherwise damaged hydraulic hoses or hydraulic components.
NEVER check for leaks of hydraulic uid with your hand. Fluid escaping from a small hole can be almost invisible.
Escaping uid under pressure can have sufcient force to penetrate skin causing SERIOUS INJURY or even DEATH.
Leaks can be safely detected by passing a piece of cardboard over the suspected leak and looking for discoloration.
NEVER remove the cap from the hydraulic tank or reservoir while the log splitter is running. The tank could contain hot
oil under pressure which could result in serious injury.
NEVER adjust the hydraulic valve. The pressure relief valve on your log splitter is preset at the factory. Only a qualied
service technician should perform this adjustment.
ALWAYS seek professional medical attention immediately if injured by escaping hydraulic uid. Serious infection or
reaction can develop if proper medical treatment is not administered immediately.
ALWAYS be sure to relieve all pressure by shutting off the engine and moving the valve control handle back and forth
should it become necessary to loosen or remove any hydraulic tting.
FIRE PREVENTION
NEVER operate your log splitter near a ame or spark or smoke during operation. Hydraulic oil and gasoline are
ammable and can explode.
NEVER ll the gas tank while the engine is hot or running. Allow the engine to cool before refueling.
ONLY refuel your log splitter in a clear area with no gas fumes or spilled gas.
ALWAYS replace the gas cap securely.
If gasoline has spilled, move the log splitter away from the area of the spill and avoid creating any source of ignition until
the spilled gas has evaporated.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: Read and thoroughly understand all instructions and safety information before operating
this log splitter. Failure to do so may cause serious injury or death. Do not allow anyone to operate
this log splitter who has not read this manual. As with all power equipment, a log splitter can be dangerous if assembled or used improperly. Do not operate this log splitter if you have doubts or questions concerning safe operation. Call our customer service department at 1-800-525-8322 to address
these concerns.
Si no entiende ingles, se preere que busque alguien que interprete las instrucciones para usted.
CAUTION: DO NOT START OR RUN THE ENGINE BEFORE ADDING OIL IN THE HYDRAULIC
RESERVOIR AND OIL IN THE ENGINE.
STEP 1: The hydraulic reservoir must be lled with oil before operation. AW46 hydraulic oil is recommended when oil is needed. Automatic
transmisssion uid can be substituted and should be used instead of hydraulic oil when temperatures are below 32 degrees F. Use only
clean oil and take care to prevent dirt from entering the hydraulic reservoir. Fill the hydraulic tank with approximately 3.5 to 4 gallons of
hydraulic oil.
CAUTION: WHEN TIGHTENING THE BREATHER CAP ON THE TANK, POINT THE HOLE AWAY
FROM THE ENGINE AND THE OPERATOR ZONE.
ENGINE OIL RECOMMENDATIONS
For temperatures above 40 degrees F use an SAE 30W oil. Using mutigrade oil may increase oil consumption. Using SAE 30W oil below 40 degrees
F will resuilt in hard starting and possible engine bore damage.For temperatures below 40 degrees F use an SAE 10W-30 or SAE 5W-30 oil. Oil
capacity is about 1.16 quart (1.1 liter).
STEP 2:
After the hydraulic reservoir and the engine crankcase are lled with oil, start the engine. The hydraulic pump should prime itself. With the
engine running, move the hydraulic valve lever toward the foot plate. This will cause the cylinder to extend and expel air. When the cylinder
is fully extended, retract it. Repeat this procedure several times. An erratic movement of the cylinder indicates that there is still air in the
system. Add about 1.0 to 1.5 gallons more. Five gallons will register just above the top ll line on the dip stick.The total capacity of the
entire hydraulic system is 6.5 gallons. NOTE: If the tank is overlled it will tend to expel oil from the breather cap when the cylinder is
retracted.
STARTING INSTRUCTIONS
Briggs & Stratton 1450 Engine
Refer also to the Engine Operating and Maintenance Instructions manual for your particular log splitter.
1) Briggs & Stratton 1450 Engine
a) Move the throttle lever to “FAST”. Always operate the engine with throttle lever in the “FAST” position
b) Move choke control lever to “CHOKE” position.
c) Grasp rope handle and pull slowly until resistance is felt. Then pull rapidly to start engine and avoid engine kickback.
d) Allow the engine to warm up. If operating in warm weather, move the choke control lever toward “RUN” a short distance at a time over
several seconds. For cold weather operation do this procedure over several minutes. Operate with choke lever in the “RUN” position.
e) To stop engine, move the throttle lever to the “STOP” position.
Page 13
Page 16
CAUTION:
TURN FUEL SHUT OFF VALVE TO THE “OFF” POSITION PRIOR TO TOWING.FAILURE TO DO SO MAY
RESULT IN FLOODING THE ENGINE.
NOTE: The engine maximum governed speed is preset at the factory at 3600 RPM no load speed. When splitting wood the throttle
should be set at the maximum speed to develop the horsepower required for the pump.
OPERATION
WARNING: See safety information related to operation of the log splitter on page 3 and 4 of this manual. Make sure that you
have the recommended personal protective equipment described on page 1.
1) Set up the log splitter in a clear, level area and block the wheels. Make sure that the suction port on the tank is always on the lower side
of the log splitter.
2) For horizontal operation place a log on the beam against the foot plate. Make sure the the log is securely on the foot plate and up against the
beam.To split wood in the vertical position, release the pin on the beam latch located near the front end of the beam. Carefully tilt the beam up until
the foot plate is sitting squarely on the ground and the log splitter is stable. Place the log on the foot plate up against the beam. When the beam is
returned to the horizontal position make sure the beam latch is securely locked down. See illustrations in Step 8 on page 10.
3) With the engine running, depress the valve handle so that the cylinder will drive the wedge into the log. Extend the cylinder until the log splits or 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 unsquare ends.
NOTE: For operation in wooded areas, obtain a spark arrestor for the exhaust system. See the engine operating and maintenance manual and
check with your authorized Briggs & Stratton service center. See also Fire Prevention on page 5 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 1.5 INCHES FROM
THE END OF THE STROKE.
TOWING
This log splitter is equipped with pneumatic tires, a Class I coupler (2 in. diameter ball required) and safety chains. Before towing, the safety chains
must be secured to the hitch or bumper of the vehicle. Local regulations should be checked regarding licensing, lights, towing, etc.Turn fuel shut off
valve on the engine to the “Off” position prior to towing. Failure to do so may result in ooding the engine. Do not exceed 45 mph when towing this
log splitter. See also Towing Safety on page 6 of this manual.
Page 14
Page 17
MAINTENANCE
1) Consult the operating and maintenance instructions of the engine manufacturer for engine care and maintenance.
2) Always check the oil level of the hydraulic reservoir before operation. Operating the log splitter without an adequate oil supply will cause
severe damage to the pump.
3) Change the oil lter after the rst 25 hours of operation. There after change the oil lter every 100 hours or seasonally, whichever comes rst.
4) To drain the hydraulic oil, loosen the clamp on the hose coming from the tting on the bottom of the tank. It is located just to the right of the oil
lter.
5) If the wedge becomes dull or nicked, it can be removed and sharpened. Remove the 1/2 in. diameter bolt that connects the wedge to the cylinder.
hose from the valve. The hose from the valve may need to be removed. Carefully lift the cylinder to allow the wedge to slide forward. The wedge
can now be lifted off and sharpened.
6) Clean the breather cap after 25 hours of operation. Clean it more often when operated in dusty conditions. To clean, remove the breather cap
from the tank and ush with kerosene or liquid detergent to remove the dirt.
7) See also Repair and Maintenance Safety on page 4 of this manual.
8) All replacement parts must meet manufacturer’s specications.
