90720 - 7 TON FULL BEAM LOG SPLITTER
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Before removing the pin installed into the front support leg
make sure hitch is installed onto vehicle. Releasing the pin
before will cause support leg to slide up and possibly cause
injury.
WARNING
Skin Injection Hazard. High pressure hydraulic oil can inject
under your skin.
Make sure all fittings are tightly secure before applying
pressure. Relieve system of pressure before servicing.
WARNING
Rapid retraction of the starter cord will pull hand and arm
towards the engine faster than you can let go. Unintentional
startup can result in entanglement, traumatic amputation or
laceration. Broken bones, fractures, bruises or sprains could
result.
When starting engine, pull the starter cord slowly until
resistance is felt and then pull rapidly to avoid kickback.
CAUTION
Parts of the hydraulic circuit (cylinder, pump, valve-body,
hoses) can become very hot during operation.
WARNING
In most states towing on public streets is either prohibited or
would require further licensing or modifications. Please check
with your local authorities or DMV regarding regulations,
restrictions and registration.

Fuel Safety
DANGER
GaSOLINE aND GaSOLINE VaPORS aRE hIGhLY
FLammaBLE aND EXPLOSIVE.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.
Gasoline and gasoline vapors:
–
Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive.
–
Gasoline can cause a fire or explosion if ignited.
–
Gasoline is a liquid fuel but its vapors can ignite.
–
Gasoline is a skin irritant and needs to be cleaned up
immediately if spilled on skin or clothes.
–
Gasoline has a distinctive odor, this will help detect potential
leaks quickly.
–
In any petroleum gas fire, flames should not be extinguished
unless by doing so the fuel supply valve can be turned OFF.
This is because if a fire is extinguished and a supply of fuel is
not turned OFF, then an explosion hazard could be created.
–
Gasoline expands or contracts with ambient temperatures.
Never fill the gasoline tank to full capacity, as gasoline needs
room to expand if temperatures rise.
When adding or removing gasoline:
Turn the engine off and let it cool for at least two minutes before
removing the gasoline cap. Loosen the cap slowly to relieve
pressure in the tank.
Only fill or drain gasoline outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
DO NOT pump gasoline directly into the engine at the gas station.
Use an approved container to transfer the fuel to the engine.
DO NOT overfill the gasoline tank.
Always keep gasoline away from sparks, open flames, pilot lights,
heat and other sources of ignition.
DO NOT light or smoke cigarettes.
When starting the engine:
DO NOT attempt to start a damaged engine.
Make certain that the gasoline cap, air filter, spark plug, fuel lines
and exhaust system are properly in place.
Allow spilled gasoline to evaporate fully before attempting to start
the engine.
Make certain that the log splitter is resting firmly on level ground.
When operating the log splitter:
DO NOT move or tip the log splitter during operation.
DO NOT tip the log splitter or allow fuel or oil to spill.
