OPERATION
INTENDED USE:
This log splitter is intended and designed to only split wood. NEVER use for any other
purposes. Doing so can cause injury or VOID THE WARRANTY.
IMPORTANT:
This unit is shipped with oil but without gasoline in the engine. After assembly, see separate
Engine Manual for proper fuel and oil recommendations.
WARNING: DO NOT START OR RUN THE LOG SPLITTER WITHOUT OIL IN THE ENGINE AND
HYDRAULIC RESERVOIR.
FILLING THE HYDRAULIC RESERVOIR
Fill the hydraulic reservoir to within an inch of the fill spout with general-purpose automatic transmission fluid or
general-purpose hydraulic fluid. After the hydraulic reservoir and the engine crankcase are filled correctly with their
respective oils, start the engine. Remember to set the throttle and turn on the fuel shut-off valve. The hydraulic pump
should prime itself. With the engine running, move the hydraulic valve lever toward the wedge. This will cause the
cylinder to extend and expel air. When the cylinder is fully extended, retract it. Repeat this procedure several times.
(An erratic movement of the cylinder indicates that there is air in the system). Once the cylinder has a smooth and
constant speed indicating that all air has been expelled, add hydraulic fluid until it reaches the top line of the fluid
operating range.
START UP
WARNING: DO NOT START OR RUN THE LOG SPLITTER WITHOUT OIL IN THE ENGINE
AND HYDRAULIC RESERVOIR.
See separate Engine Manual for fuel and oil recommendations. If applicable your log splitter has come equipped with
a fuel shut-off valve for towing purposes.
Before starting engine make sure crankcase is filled correctly with oil and the proper fuel has been used. The engine
will only start when the throttle lever and fuel shut-off valve if applicable are turned to their ON positions.
STARTING INSTRUCTIONS
See Engine Manual.
COLD WEATHER START UP
The Cold Weather Clutch enables the engine to be started without having to pull through cold, thickened
hydraulic fluid. Simply push the handle into the locked position. Start engine, let it warm up, and release
Cold Weather Clutch. After starting.
