THE ENGINE
A more detailed description of the engine operation and all related precautions and procedures can be found
in the Engine Manual packed separately with the machine. All questions related to the operation of the
engine, should be directed to the Engine Manufacturer, who will supply a separate engine warranty from
the Handy machine warranty.
AIR BLEEDER
IMPORTANT
Before operating the log splitter, the Air Bleeder should be loosened a few rotations until air can go in
and out of the oil tank smoothly. Air flow through the Air Bleeder should be noticeable when the log
splitter is working. Before moving the log splitter, make sure the Air Bleeder is tightened to avoid oil
leaks.
FAILURE TO LOOSEN THE AIR BLEEDER WILL
KEEP THE SEALED AIR IN THE HYDRAULIC
SYSTEM COMPRESSED.
SUCH CONTINUOUS AIR COMPRESSION WILL
BLOW OUT THE SEALS OF THE HYDRAULIC
SYSTEM AND CAN CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE
TO THE LOG SPLITTER, WHICH IS NOT COVERED
UNDER THE TERMS & CONDITIONS OF THE
MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY.
