  HYDRAULIC SAFETY

The hydraulic system of your log splitter requires careful inspection along with the mechanical parts. Be sure to
replace frayed, kinked, cracked or otherwise damaged hydraulic hoses or hydraulic components.

NEVER 

check for leaks of hydraulic fluid with your hand. Fluid escaping from a small hole can be almost invisible.

Escaping fluid under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate skin causing serious personal injury or even death.
Leaks can be detected by passing a piece of cardboard over the suspected leak and looking for discoloration.

ALWAYS 

seek professional medical attention immediately if injured by escaping hydraulic fluid. Serious infection or

reaction can develop if proper medical treatment is not administered immediately.

ALWAYS 

be sure to relieve all pressure by shutting off the engine and moving the valve control handle back and forth

should it become necessary to loosen or remove any hydraulic fitting.

NEVER 

remove the cap from the hydraulic tank or reservoir while the log splitter is running. The tank could contain hot oil

under pressure which could result in serious injury.

NEVER

 adjust the hydraulic valve. The pressure relief valve on your log splitter is preset at the factory. Only a qualified

service technician should perform this adjustment.

 FIRE PREVENTION

NEVER

 operate your log splitter near a flame or spark. Hydraulic oil and gasoline are flammable and can explode.

NEVER 

fill the gas tank while the engine is hot or running. Allow the engine to cool before refueling.

NEVER

 smoke while operating or refueling your log splitter. Gas fumes can easily explode.

ONLY

 refuel your log splitter in a clear area with no gas fumes or spilled gas.

ALWAYS

 use an approved fuel container.

ALWAYS

 replace the gas cap securely.

If gasoline has spilled, move the log splitter away from the area of the spill and avoid creating any source of ignition until
the spilled gas has evaporated.

ALWAYS

 take a Class B fire extinguisher with you when operating this log splitter in dry areas as a precautionary

measure against possible flying sparks.

ALWAYS

 drain the fuel tank prior to storage to avoid the potential fire hazard.

ALWAYS

 store gasoline in an approved, tightly sealed container. Store the container in a cool, dry place.

NEVER

 store gasoline in the house or near a heating appliance.

ALWAYS 

turn the fuel shut off valve on the engine to the “OFF” position before towing the log splitter. Failure to do so

may result in flooding the engine.
