THROTTLE CONTROL 

The throttle control regulates the speed of the engine 

)) 

and will shut off the engine when it is moved to the 
STOP position. The throttle control moves between 

FAST 

9, 

SLOW .... and STOP positions. 

OPERATION 

Many accidents occur when more than 

one 

person 

operates the log splitter. 

If a helper 

is assisting 

in loading logs 

to 

be split, never 

operate the controls until the helper 

is 

clear of the 

area. 

The engine 

is 

shipped without oil. Do 

not 

start the 

engine 

before adding oil. 

ADD OIL TO ENGINE 

1. Make sure the log splitter is on a flat, level surface. 

2. Remove the oil fill cap/dipstick 

to add oil. 

3. Using a funnel, add oil up to the FULL mark on the dipstick. 

(See engine manual for oil capacity, oil recommendation, and 
location of fill cap.) 

�  DO NOT OVERFILL. Check engine oil level daily and 

Lil 

add 

as 

needed.

ADD GASOLINE TO ENGINE 

Gasoline 

is 

highly flammable and explosive. You can 

be burned or seriously injured when handling fuel. 

Use 

extreme care when handling gasoline. 

Fill the fuel tank outdoors, never indoors. Gasoline 

vapors can ignite if they collect inside an enclosure. 

Explosion can result. 

1.  The engine must be off and allowed to cool at least two minutes 

before adding fuel. 

2.  Remove the fuel filler cap and fill the tank. (See engine manual 

for fuel capacity, fuel recommendation, and location of fuel cap.) 

IMPORTANT: DO NOT OVERFILL! 

This equipment and/or 

its 

engine may include 

evaporative 

emissions 

control 

system 

components, 

required 

to meet 

EPA and/or CARB regulations, that 

will only function properly when the fuel tank has 

been filled 

to 

the recommended level. Overfilling 

may 

cause 

permanent damage 

to 

evaporative 

emissions 

control 

system 

components. Filling 

to 

the 

recommended level ensures a vapor gap required 

to 

allow for  fuel expansion. Pay 

close 

attention while 

filling the fuel tank 

to 

ensure that the recommended 

fuel level inside the  tank 

is  not 

exceeded. 

Use 

portable gasoline container with an appropriately 

sized dispensing spout when filling the tank. Do 

not 

use 

a funnel or other device that obstructs the view 

of the tank filling process. 

3. Reinstall the fuel cap and tighten. Always clean up spilled fuel.
