100250 - 37 TON FULL BEAM LOg SPLiTTER
MAiNTENANCE
Operation at High Altitude
The density of air at high altitude is lower than at sea level. Engine
power is reduced as the air mass and air-fuel ratio decrease.
Engine power and log splitter output will be reduced approximately
3½% for every 1000 ft. of elevation above sea level. This is a
natural trend and cannot be changed by adjusting the engine. At
high altitudes increased exhaust emissions can also result due to
the increased enrichment of the air fuel ratio. Other high altitude
issues can include hard starting, increased fuel consumption and
spark plug fouling.
To alleviate high altitude issues other than the natural power
loss, CPE can provide a high altitude carburetor main jet. The
alternative main jet and installation instructions can be obtained
by contacting our Technical Support Team. Installation instructions
are also available in the Technical Bulletin area of the CPE website.
The part number and recommended minimum altitude for the
application of the high altitude carburetor main jet is listed in the
table below.
In order to select the correct high altitude main jet it is necessary
to identify the carburetor model. For this purpose, a code is
stamped on the side of the carburetor. Select the correct high
altitude jet part number corresponding to the carburetor code
found on your particular carburetor.

WARNiNg
Operation using the alternative main jet at elevations lower
than the recommended minimum altitude can damage the
engine. For operation at lower elevations, the originally
supplied standard main jet must be used. Operating the
engine with the wrong engine configuration at a given altitude
may increase its emissions and decrease fuel efficiency and
performance.
MAiNTENANCE
Make certain that the log splitter is kept clean and stored
properly. Only operate the unit on a flat, level surface in a clean,
dry operating environment. DO NOT expose the unit to extreme
conditions, excessive dust, dirt, moisture or corrosive vapors.
Inspect all air vents and cooling slots to ensure that they are clean
and unobstructed.
Clean spark arrester every 100 hours.
Check and tighten all bolts and nuts before operating the log
splitter.
WARNiNg
Never operate a damaged or defective log splitter.
WARNiNg
Improper maintenance will void your warranty.
NOTiCE
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of emission control
devices and systems may be performed by any non-road
engine repair establishment or individual.
The owner/operator is responsible for all periodic maintenance.
Complete all scheduled maintenance in a timely manner.
Correct any issue before operating the log splitter.
For service or parts assistance, contact our
Technical Support Team at 1-877-338-0999.
Cleaning the Log splitter
CAUTiON
DO NOT spray engine with water.
Water can contaminate the fuel system and can enter the
engine through the cooling slots and damage the engine.
Clear the debris from the beam, wedge and endplate.
Use a damp cloth to clean exterior surfaces of the engine and log
splitter.
Use a soft bristle brush to remove excess dirt and oil.
Use an air compressor (25 PSI) to clear dirt and small debris.
Wipe all metal parts with an oily rag to help prevent rust and
corrosion.
