GAS AND OIL FILL-UP
Service the engine with gasoline and oil as instructed in the engine
manual packed with your log splitter. Read the instructions carefully.
TIRE PRESSURE
The max recommended operating pressure is 30 psi. Under any
circumstances do not exceed the manufacturer’s recommended psi.
Maintain equal pressure on all tires.
PREPARING THE LOG SPLITTER
1. Lubricate the beam area (where the splitting wedge will slide) with
engine oil. Do not use grease.
2. Fill hydraulic oil before your initial use.
WARNING
• Use extreme care when handling gasoline. Gasoline is extremely
flammable and the vapors are explosive. Never fuel the machine
indoors or while the engine is hot or running.
WARNING
• Excessive pressure when seating beads may cause tire/rim assembly
to burst with force sufficient to cause serious injury.
NOTICE
• Your log splitter is shipped with motor oil in the engine. You MUST
check the oil level before operating. Be careful not to overfill.
Gasoline can be added to the engine when the log splitter is in either
the horizontal or vertical position. However, it may be easier when the
splitter is in the vertical position.
