PREPARING THE LOG SPLITTER FOR USE
STOP!
The following section describes the required steps for preparing this log splitter for the first use. Failure to correctly perform these steps can damage
this log splitter and/or shorten its life. If still unsure about how to perform any of these steps after reading this section, call
1-866-460-9436 Monday - Friday, 8 AM - 4 PM Central Time for customer service.
Step 1 - Add Oil
THIS LOG SPLITTER REQUIRES AT LEAST 12 OUNCES OF OIL (SAE10W-30) TO RUN.
ADD OIL UNTIL IT IS ALMOST OVERFLOWING. THE LOW-OIL SENSOR IS VERY SENSITIVE AND THE ENGINE
WILL NOT RUN IF THE OIL IS LOW. START WITH 12 OUNCES, THEN ADD MORE UNTIL ALMOST OVERFLOWING.
TROUBLESHOOTING: IF THE LOG SPLITTER WILL NOT START, DOUBLE CHECK THAT THE OIL LEVEL IS
COMPLETELY FULL AND ALMOST OVERFLOWING.
This log splitter requires engine oil to function. Engine oil is a major factor affecting engine performance and
service life.
When new from the package,
this log splitter contains no oil in the engine crankcase
. Add oil before
operating this log splitter for the first time. When replenishing oil for subsequent use of this log splitter, always determine
that this log splitter has the correct quantity of oil. To add oil to the engine crankcase:
1. Confirm that this log splitter is on a level surface.
2. Unscrew the oil filler/dipstick cap from the engine as illustrated in Figure 1 below. (NOTE: There are two locations to
add oil (see Figure 1). You can choose to use either one.)
3. Using a funnel, add high detergent motor oil to fill the engine crankcase to the correct quantity. SAE10W-30 oil is
recommended for general use. When the engine crankcase is full and almost overflowing, the oil level should reach the
lower lip of the oil filling opening as shown in Figure 2.
4. Replace the oil filler/dipstick cap and close the oil access panel.
5. (Figure 3 indicates the location to drain oil, if necessary)
