Step 2 - Add Gasoline
Gasoline and gasoline fumes are highly flammable and explosive. Handling fuel can result in serious injury or
burns.
• Do not fill the fuel tank near a heat, sparks or an open flame. Keep gasoline away from appliance pilot lights, barbecues,
electric appliances, power tools, etc.
• Do not overfill the fuel tank. Always check for fuel spills and immediately wipe them up. Spilled fuel is a fire hazard and
causes environmental damage.
To add gasoline:
To ensure that this log splitter runs smoothly, use only FRESH, UNLEADED GASOLINE WITH AN OCTANE RATING OF
87 OR HIGHER. Unleaded gasoline produces fewer engine and spark plug deposits and extends the life of the exhaust
system.
1. Confirm that this log splitter is on a level surface.
2. Unscrew fuel tank cap and set aside. (NOTE: The fuel tank cap may be tight and difficult to unscrew.)
3. Slowly add fresh, unleaded gasoline (with an octane rating 87 or higher) to the fuel tank. Be careful not to fill the fuel
tank above the upper limit line. NOTE: Because gasoline can expand, do not fill the fuel tank to the very top.
4. Securely tighten the fuel tank cap and immediately wipe up any spilled gasoline with a dry cloth.
Fuel Tank Capacity (gallons) 0.925
Fuel Type Fresh, Unleaded Gasoline Octane Rating 87 or Higher
IMPORTANT:
• Use only UNLEADED gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher.
• Never use a mixture of oil and gasoline.
• Never use old and/or contaminated gasoline.
• Avoid getting dirt and/or water in the fuel tank.
• Gasoline can age in the fuel tank and make it difficult to start this log splitter. Never store this log splitter for extended
time with gasoline in the fuel tank.
