NOTE:
It is recommended that fluids not be mixed.
3. Use a filter (clean or replace regularly).
4. Use a breather cap on fluid reservoir.
5. Make sure the pump is mounted and aligned properly.
6. Use a flexible “spider” type coupling between the engine and pump drive shafts.
7. Keep the hoses clear and unblocked.
8. Bleed the air out of the hoses before operating.
9. Flush and clean the hydraulic system before restarting after servicing.
10. Use “pipe dope” on all hydraulic fittings.
11. Allow time for the engine to warm-up before splitting wood.
12. Prime the pump before the initial start-up by turning over the engine with the spark plug disconnected (if not already
done at factory).
13. Split wood along the grain (lengthwise) only.
Never:
1. Use when fluid is below 20° F or above 150° F.
2. Use a solid engine / pump coupling.
3. Operate through relief valve for more than 5 seconds.
4. Attempt to adjust the unloading or relief valve settings.
5. Operate with air in hydraulic system.
6. Use teflon tape on hydraulic fittings.
