OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR HLS USER

Familiarise yourself with the hydraulic log splitter and its 

controls.

Wear safety glasses, or helmet visor combination, loose 

fitting gloves, hearing protection and safety work boots. 

PPE (Personal Protection 

Equipment) is mandatory 

before operating this machine.
ALWAYS make certain that all control levers are in the 

disengage position prior to starting the engine.
Disconnect the retaining pin from the headstock and lower 

the lifting table onto the lifting frame.

DO NOT allow by-standers near the hydraulic 

logsplitter while in operation. OPERATING THIS 

MACHINE IS A SINGLE PERSON OPERATION. 

It is the responsibility of the operator to keep 

bystanders and animals a minimum of 6 metres (18 feet) 

away from the hydraulic log splitter while in operation.

Open fuel shut off valve, if engine is equipped. 

Move choke control to CHOKE or START position. 

Note: Choke must be fully closed. Move throttle 

control to RUN or FAST position. If engine is equipped 

with rocker style stop switch, push RUN or I (I = Ignition) 

before starting. Rewind Starter: Grasp rope handle and 

pull slowly until resistance is felt to prevent kickback. Then 

pull cord rapidly to overcome 

compression and start engine. 

Repeat if necessary with choke 

off and throttle control in FAST 

position. Operate engine in fast 

position.
Place or roll log / wood onto lifting table (DO NOT EXCEED 

250KGS/550LBS).
Lift the log / wood and roll the log / wood between the head 

stock and the splitting head. NEVER have your hands or 

fingers between the log / wood and the splitting head or 

head stock.

NEVER place your hands or fingers 

between the end of the log / wood and the 

headstock. (See inside reference photo).

NEVER place your hands or fingers between the end of the 

log / wood and the splitting head.
NEVER position the log by placing your hands or fingers at 

the ends of the log / wood.
Position the log by placing a hand on the top of the log / 

wood as close to the centre of the log / wood as possible. 

NEVER have your hands or fingers close to the headstock 

or splitting head while the machine is in operation. 

REMEMBER OPERATING THIS MACHINE IS A SINGLE 

PERSON OPERATION. Keep all bystanders a minimum of 

6 metres (18 feet) away.

ALWAYS position the log / wood to split with the grain of the  

log / wood.
When splitting wood always operate the hydraulic logsplitter 

in front of the axle on the hydraulic valve side of the main 

beam only. Use caution whilst standing in this position as 

certain logs / wood can spring back under tension, and exit 

from the hydraulic logsplitter with force.
Engage the splitting head control lever until it comes in 

contact with the log / wood. Slowly ease the splitting head 

into the log / wood. Do not try to force the split. Once the 

log / wood is secured between the splitting head and head 

stock remove your hand from the top centre of the log / wood 

and proceed to split. NEVER PLACE YOUR HANDS OR 

FINGERS AT THE END OF THE LOG / WOOD.
SPLIT WOOD IN THE DIRECTION OF THE GRAIN ONLY. 

Log / Wood to be split should be cut as squarely as possible.
NEVER attempt to load the hydraulic log splitter when the 

ram is in motion.

NEVER straddle or climb over the hydraulic log 

splitter while in use.

NEVER insert hands or fingers into the cracks 

of the log / wood during the splitting procedure.

Once the log / wood has been split return the 

splitting head clear all debris and repeat the procedure
STOP ENGINE: Do not move choke control to Choke 

position to stop engine. Backfire or engine damage may 

occur. Move throttle control to SLOW 

position, then push rocker switch to O 

(STOP), or turn key to off if equipped.

AFTER USE

Turn fuel tap to “OFF” position

Allow machine to cool down (minimum 5 minutes)

Clean with warm soapy water. Ensure no water 

enters the carburettor.

BEFORE USE

1)

DO NOT allow any person operate the

 and

operating instructions.

2)

NEVER allow children to operate the rotary hoe.

8)

ALWAYS make certain the Tyne Control Lever is
set at neutral while loading and unloading the
rotary hoe, or moving to and away from working area.

9)

NEVER run the machine in reverse while the tynes
are rotating. Always move the tyne control lever to
“OFF” before reversing the wheels.

11) DO NOT leave the machine unattended while the

engine is running.

12) DO NOT overspeed the engine or alter the governor

settings. Excessive speed is dangerous and will
shorten engine life.

13)

NEVER operate the rotary hoe in an
enclosed area. Engine exhaust contains
carbon monoxide, an odourless and
tasteless poison.

14)

STOP the engine and disconnect the
spark plug lead(s) and allow engine to 
cool before inspecting or performing
maintenance on the rotary hoe.

15)

1)

REFUELLING 
* Shut off the engine. DO NOT REFUEL
  AN ENGINE WHILE OPERATING!
* Allow engine to cool. Minimum 5 minutes
USE UNLEADED FUEL ONLY.
  Use clean, fresh unleaded fuel.
Do not mix oil with unleaded fuel.
* Do not over-fill fuel tank.  Allow space
   for fuel expansion.

10)

NEVER operate the unit without the safety
guards in place and in working order. Keep 
the unit well maintained and in good 
working order.

4)

ALWAYS use the rotary
hoe in a well lighted area.

7)

NEVER operate the rotary hoe when fatigued.
ALWAYS BE ALERT! If you get tired while
operating the rotary hoe, take a break. If you have
any type of physical or mental condition that may
be aggravated by strenuous work, consult with
your physician before you operate this equipment.
NEVER operate the rotary hoe under the influence
of medication, alcohol or drugs.

6)

DO NOT allow other persons near the
rotary hoe. It is up to the operator to keep
bystanders and animals a minimum of 6

ALWAYS 

operate the rotary

 

                          hoe on level ground only. 

 

                          Police the area before rotary 

hoeing. Remove any foreign objects in the digging 
area - bricks, rocks, wire and sticks. Locate and mark
any sprinkler heads, water pipes, gas lines, 
electrical and telephone cables or any other hazard
either below or above ground.

3)

ALWAYS wear protective clothing when operating
the rotary hoe. This includes, but is not limited to;
safety glasses, loose fitting gloves, steel capped 
boots and hearing protection. NEVER wear loose 
fitting clothing or jewellery when operating the 
rotary hoe. Keep all clothing away from moving
parts. Items could become caught in the machine,
resulting in injury.

operation. 

ALWAYS KEEP YOUR HANDS, 

FEET AND BODY AWAY FROM 

THE DIGGING ZONE WHILE 

ENGINE IS RUNNING.

                

* Do not smoke.

                * Allow no naked flame or hot material in refuelling area.
                  * Use only approved fuel containers and funnels.
                    Remember, fuel is a potential hazard                                            .  

Be sure Tyne Control Lever is set to “Neutral”
while loading and unloading the rotary hoe
and when moving to or from jobsite.

Ensure that all grass and weeds have been cut
as low as possible.

2)

If the rotary hoe is to be used in clay or hard
ground conditions, it is recommended to water
the area thoroughly and allow sufficient time 
for earth to soften.

3)

Police the area. Remove any
foreign objects from the area.

4)

Identify and mark the location of sprinkler heads,
