ASSEMBLy
The recommended oil type is 10W-30 automotive
oil.
NOTE
Weather will affect engine oil and engine
performance. Change the type of engine oil used
based on weather conditions to suit the engine
needs.
NOTE
The engine is equipped with a low oil shut-off and
will stop when the oil level in the crankcase falls
below the threshold level.
CAUTION
Add Engine Oil
1. Make sure the log splitter is on a flat, level surface.
2. Remove oil fill cap/dipstick to add oil.
3. Add upto 0.6 qt. (0.6 L) of oil (SAE 10W-30) - oil
should cover all but 2 threads of filler hole. Replace
oil fill cap/dipstick. DO NOT OVERFILL.
4. Check engine oil level daily and add as needed.
DO NOT attempt to crank or start the engine before
it has been properly filled with the recommended
type and amount of oil. Damage to the log splitter
as a result of failure to follow these instructions will
void your warranty.
CAUTION
Check oil often during the break-in period. Refer to
the Maintenance section for recommended service
intervals.
NOTE
Add Fuel
1. Use clean, fresh, regular unleaded fuel with a
minimum octane rating of 85 and an ethanol
content of less than 10% by volume.
2. DO NOT mix oil with fuel.
3. Clean the area around the fuel cap.
4. Remove the fuel cap.
5. Slowly add fuel to the tank. DO NOT OVERFILL.
Fuel can expand after filling. A minimum of ¼
in. (6.4 mm) of space left in the tank is required
for fuel expansion, more than ¼ in. (6.4 mm) is
recommended. Fuel can be forced out of the tank
as a result of expansion if it is overfilled, and can
affect the stable running condition of the product.
When filling the tank, it is recommended to leave
enough space for the fuel to expand.
Pouring fuel too fast through the fuel screen may
result in blow back of fuel at the operator while
filling.
WARNING
6. Screw on the fuel cap and wipe away any spilled
fuel.
