WARNING
1. DO NOT at any time carry passengers, sit or stand on the log splitter.
2. Check the hydraulic oil level and visually inspect all hoses and attachments for
problems.
3. Inspect the engine and make sure the engine oil level is correct.
4. Before towing the log splitter the tires need to be fully inflated.
5. Refer to the vehicle owner’s manual for proper safety and towing instructions.
6. The log splitter must have at least seven feet of clearance from combustible
material. It needs to be on a dry and level surface with good footing. Do not work
on mud, ice, brush or snow. When using the log splitter the work zone must be
maintained at all times
NOTE: Serious accidents can happen when other people are allowed inside the work zone.
Keep everyone else outside the work zone while operating the control lever.
7. Always wear safety gear, eye protection, gloves and work boots when operating
the log splitter
8. The hydraulic oil needs to be above -12C° before starting the engine. Cold
hydraulic oil can damage the hydraulic pump. If outdoor air temperature is below
0C° allow the log splitter to warm up by extending and returning the wedge
several times before splitting wood.
9. Put both support legs in the down position to prevent the log splitter from moving
during operation and block both tires.
