DANGER
Log splitter engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless, poison gas. Breathing
carbon monoxide will cause nausea, dizziness, fainting or death. If you start to feel dizzy or weak, get
to fresh air immediately.
Operate log splitter outdoors only in a well ventilated area.
DO NOT operate the log splitter inside any building, enclosure or compartment.
DO NOT allow exhaust fumes to enter a confined area through windows, doors, vents or other openings.
DANGER CARBON MONOXIDE
, using a log splitter indoors
CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES.
CAUTION
Fuel and fuel vapors are highly flammable and extremely explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.
Unintentional startup can result in entanglement, traumatic amputation or laceration.
Only use regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum 85 octane rating.
DO NOT mix oil and gasoline together.
Fill tank approximately ¼” below the top of the tank to allow for fuel expansion.
DO NOT fill fuel tank indoors or when the engine is running or hot.
DO NOT light cigarettes or smoke when filling the fuel tank.
STEP 10: Add Hydraulic Oil
1. The log splitter needs to be on a flat, level surface before adding the hydraulic oil.
2. Remove the oil cap from the hydraulic oil tank.
3. Add approximately 2.64 gallons of hydraulic oil, AW32, AW46 & universal hydraulic oil are
all acceptable types of fluid
. Automatic transmission fluid should be used when
operating in temperatures below 32 degrees (all units are tested and have excess
oil in the ram).
4. Check the hydraulic oil level.
5. Start engine and use the control lever to extend and retract wedge several times to remove
air from the lines.
6. With the wedge retracted, check hydraulic oil level again and fill if necessary.
WARNING
DO NOT remove the hydraulic oil fill cap when the engine is running or hot. Hot oil can escape causing
severe burns. Always allow the log splitter to cool completely before removing the hydraulic oil cap.
High fluid pressure and temperatures are created in the hydraulic log splitters. Hydraulic fluid will
escape through a pin-size hole opening and can puncture skin and cause severe blood poisoning.
Inspect hydraulic system regularly for possible leaks.
Never check for leaks with your hand while
the system is pressurized. Seek medical attention immediately if injured by escaping fluid.
Make sure all fittings are tight and secure before applying pressure. Relieve system pressure before
servicing.
Make sure the hydraulic hoses do not touch any hot surfaces or cutting areas.
Hoses need to be positioned were they are clear from the engine and cutting wedge. To avoid serious
bodily injury always inspect the hoses before operating the log splitter.
