equipment. Exercise caution at all times when using power equipment.

Engine Safety

y Always keep hands away from the engine, belts and pulleys when the engine is running. y Never run engine in an enclosed area. Adequate ventilation is required to prevent carbon monoxide

poisoning.

y Do not ll the fuel tank indoors, or while the engine is running or while the engine is hot. Reinstall the fuel

tank cap and wipe o any spilled fuel before starting the engine.

y Do not store the log splitter near an open ame or a heat source when fuel is left in the tank. y Do not operate engine with air cleaner or cover removed. Removal of these parts could create a re hazard. y Never change the engine governor settings. y Always allow the engine to cool completely before making adjustments or repairs or cleaning. y Always disconnect the spark plug wire before making adjustments or repairs. Keep the wire away from the

plug to prevent accidental starting.

y Always allow the engine to cool completely before covering or storing in an enclosed area.

Towing Safety

y Do not exceed the 45 mph while towing the log splitter. y Always use safety chains when towing. y Always check that coupler handle is locked before towing. y Always use correct ball size that is stamped on coupler. y Check coupler tightness before towing and after towing 50 miles.

WARNING

Never allow more than one person at a time to use the log splitter. This log splitter is designed for use by only one person. The same person should both load and operate the log splitter. Use by more than one person at a time creates a risk of injury.

Using the Log Splitter

Always stand in the operator zone when operating the log splitter. Keep your body and

WARNING

1. Select logs for splitting that are cut square on the ends and are no more than 24" long.

2. Place the log splitter on at, level ground that provides secure footing.

3. Secure the wheels to prevent unexpected movement.

4. Start the engine and set the throttle to "Fast".

5. Grasp a log on the sides and place it on the log splitter, centering it on the I-beam. Push the log rmly against the wedge to help hold it in place. (See Figure 6.)

WARNING

hands away from the ram and the wedge while the ram is in motion. (See gure 5.)

Do not grasp the log by the ends when loading it onto the log splitter. (See gure 7.) Doing so may lead to a potentially severe injury. Always grasp logs on the sides when loading.

Never attempt to split logs across the grain; damage to the splitter or injury to you could

WARNING

occur. (See Figure 9.) Always split logs end to end, with the grain.

7. If a log is forked, split one leg at a time. Do not try to split down the middle of the fork. (See Figure 10.)

8. To activate the ram, place one hand on the lock out lever and the other hand on the engagement handle. Pull forward on the lock out lever and then lift up rmly on the engagement handle. Continue lifting up on the handle until the log is fully split or until the ram reaches the end of its stroke, then release the handle to retract the ram. (See Figure 11.)

NOTE: To retract the ram at any time during the forward stroke,

simply release the engagement handle.

Keep hands away from the log while

9. If the ram stops before the log is completely split, release the handle immediately and allow the ram to fully retract. Repeat the splitting cycle until the log is split.

NOTE: Do not allow the gear teeth to grind if the ram stops before

the log is split. Release the engagement handle immediately to avoid excessive wear or damage to the gear teeth.

10. If the ram becomes stuck in the log and will not retract, immediately strike downward on the engagement handle to disengage the gear teeth and retract the ram.

11. If a log becomes stuck on the wedge, shut o the engine and wait 30 seconds, or until the ywheels stop rotating, before removing the log. Dislodge the log by pulling it straight back, working it straight up and down as necessary, to remove it from the wedge. Do not push the log side to side to remove it.

Never try to dislodge a stuck log while the engine is running. First shut o the engine and

14. Repeat the same procedure for the other wheel.

15. Remove the supports from under the rear of the splitter frame and lower it using the jack.

Engine Maintenance

NOTE: Refer to the instructions in the engine manual for performing the following procedures.

1. Check oil level before each use. Be sure the log splitter is resting on at, level ground.

2. Change the oil after the rst 20 hours of operation and then after every 100 hours of operation.

3. Service air cleaner every 50 hours under normal conditions. Clean every few hours under extremely dusty conditions. Poor engine performance and ooding usually indicate a dirty air cleaner.

4. The spark plug should be cleaned and the gap checked every 100 hours.

5. Clean the spark arrester every 100 hours.

Cleaning

1. Clean the engine regularly with a cloth or brush. Keep the cooling ns on the engine housing clean to allow proper cooling. Remove all dirt and debris from muer area.

2. Clean the I-beam, scraping any compacted residue o the top surface.

Storing

1. Clean the log splitter before storing.

2. Store in a dry protected area or cover with a water-resistant cover (optional 45-0509 Cover available).
