WARNING
ALWAYS use the log splitter for its intended use.
The log splitter should only be used to split wood
logs, length wise with the grain.
NEVER modify, alter or change the log splitter in
anyway. Modifications will void the warranty.
NEVER attach a rope, cable or other device to the
control lever on the log splitter.
DO NOT modify or change the engine and
operating speeds or pressure settings. These
changes can cause safety issues.
ONLY operate the log splitter in daylight.
NEVER operate, or let anyone else operate, the
log splitter while under the influence of alcohol,
drugs, or medication.
NEVER leave the log splitter unattended while the
engine is running.
DO NOT change the splitting position with the
engine running. Contact with the muffler can
cause serious burns.
Always make sure the beam is in the locked
position.
DO NOT let the beam drop as it could crush
fingers or cause damage to the log splitter.
Starting the Engine
1.
Make certain the log splitter is on a flat,
level surface.
2.
Flip engine switch to “ON” position
(Item A)
3.
Rotate the fuel valve to the “ON”
position (to the left)(Item B). See image
below
4.
Move the choke lever (Item A) to the
“Choke” position (to the left).
5.
Pull the starter cord slowly until
resistance is felt and then pull rapidly.
6.
As engine warms up, move the choke
lever to “Run” (to the right).
7.
Move the throttle lever (Item B) to the
“Fast” position.
NOTE
If the engine starts but does not run make
certain that the log splitter is on a flat, level
surface. The engine is equipped with a low oil
sensor that will prevent the engine from running
when the oil level falls below a critical threshold.
The hydraulic oil needs to be above 10°F before
starting the engine. Cold hydraulic oil can
damage the hydraulic pump.
If outdoor air temperature is below 32°F allow
the log splitter to warm up by extending and
returning the wedge several times before
splitting wood.
