NEVER
operate your log splitter when it is in poor mechanical condition or in need of repair.
•
NEVER
alter your log splitter in any manner. Such alterations may cause your log splitter to be unsafe and will void
the warranty.
•
NEVER
tamper with the engine to run it at excessive speeds. The maximum engine speed is preset by the manu-
facturer and is within safety limits. Refer to the engine owner’s manual for your particular log splitter.
•
NEVER
perform any service or repair on your log splitter without first removing the spark plug wire.
•
ALWAYS
perform all recommended maintenance procedures before using your log splitter.
•
ALWAYS
check the level of hydraulic oil and engine oil before operation.
•
ALWAYS
periodically check that all nuts, bolts, screws, hydraulic fittings and hose clamps are tight.
•
ALWAYS
replace all damaged or worn parts immediately.
•
ALWAYS
be sure that all replacement parts meet manufacturer’s specifications.
•
The hydraulic system of your log splitter requires careful inspection along with the mechanical parts. Be sure to
replace frayed, kinked cracked or otherwise damaged hydraulic hoses or hydraulic components.
•
NEVER
check for leaks of hydraulic fluid with your hand. Fluid escaping from a small hole can be almost invisible.
Escaping fluid under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate skin causing SERIOUS INJURY or even
DEATH. Leaks can be safely detected by passing a piece of cardboard over the suspected leak and looking for dis-
coloration.
•
ALWAYS
seek professional medical attention immediately if injured by escaping hydraulic fluid. Serious infection or
reaction can develop if proper medical treatment is not administered immediately.
•
NEVER
remove the cap from the hydraulic tank or reservoir while the log splitter is running. The tank could contain
hot oil under pressure which could result in serious injury.
•
NEVER
adjust the hydraulic valve. The pressure relief valve on your log splitter is preset at the factory. Only a qual-
ified service technician should perform this adjustment.
•
ALWAYS
be sure to relieve all pressure by shutting off the engine and moving the valve control handle back and
forth should it become necessary to loosen or remove any hydraulic fitting.
•
NEVER
operate your log splitter near a flame or spark, or smoke during operation. Hydraulic oil and gasoline are
flammable and can explode.
•
NEVER
fill the gas tank while the engine is hot or running. Allow the engine to cool before refueling.
•
ONLY
refuel your log splitter in a clear, well ventilated area with no gas fumes or spilled gas.
•
ALWAYS
replace the gas cap securely.
•
If gasoline has spilled, move the log splitter away from the area of the spill and avoid creating any source of ignition
until the spilled gas has evaporated.
•
ALWAYS
drain the fuel tank prior to storage to avoid the potential fire hazard.
•
ALWAYS
clean wood debris from on and around the engine and muffler.
