Before Each Use – Work Site Selection and Set-Up
Step Three: Work site selection and log splitter setup
WARNING
It is important to select an appropriate work site and properly set up the log splitter in order to
minimize the risk of slips and falls, equipment rolling or tipping over, carbon monoxide poisoning,
and accidental fires.
1. Select Location
Select an appropriate location for operating the log splitter. Check work site for possible
hazards before each use.
Requirements:
1. Dry-level surface with good footing. Stay clear of areas with mud, ice, tall grass, weeds,
brush, or snow.
2. Outdoors, away from air intakes.
WARNING:
The running engine gives off carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas that can
kill you. You CANNOT smell it, see it, or taste it.
ONLY run log splitter OUTDOORS and away from air intakes. NEVER run log
splitter inside homes, garages, sheds, or other buildings or semi-enclosed spaces.
These spaces can trap poisonous gases, EVEN if you run a fan or open windows.
If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak while using the log splitter, shut off the engine
and get to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor. You may have carbon monoxide
poisoning.
2. Fire Precautions
Take the following precautions against fire:
1.
IMPORTANT: If your splitter will be used near any unimproved forest, brush, or
grassy covered land,
then engine must be equipped with a spark arrestor.
(See the "Specifications" section of this manual to determine if your splitter already has a
spark arrestor. Contact Iron & Oak Product Support at 1-800-817-1005 for information
about obtaining a spark arrestor for your log splitter if it is unequipped.)
2.
Make sure you comply with applicable local, state, and federal codes.
3.
Keep a fire extinguisher available (classified for both ordinary combustibles and flammable
liquids) as a precautionary measure when operating the log splitter in dry areas.

Position Splitter
Position muffler at least 7 ft. from combustible or flammable objects during operation.
Hot exhaust fumes from engine could cause fire. Also, hydraulic oil leaking or spraying on hot
engine can ignite.
4.
Lock Support
Leg DOWN
Lock the support leg in the DOWN position.
5. Block Wheels
Block the wheels to prevent unintended movement of the log splitter.
6. Apply grease
Apply grease to beam where the ram travels.
