2.0 SAFETY & INSPECTION CHECK
•
Always inspect your log splitter before each use, and repair
as needed, to keep it in a safe working condition.
•
Always make sure the engine is off before cleaning,
repairing or adjusting the splitter, except as recommended
by the manufacturer.
•
Debris on a hot engine can be a fire hazard. With the
engine off, clean debris and chaff from engine cylinder
head, cylinder head fins, blower housing rotating screen,
and muffler areas.
•
Avoid contact with hot muffler.
•
Debris on moving parts can cause excess wear. With the
splitter engine off, clear debris from moving parts.
•
Before each use, check fuel tank and fuel lines for any
leaks. Any fuel leak is a fire hazard. Fix any fuel leaks before
starting engine.
•
Check to be sure that all nuts and bolts are tight to make
sure the log splitter is in safe working condition.
•
Check the hydraulic system (hoses, tubing, clamps fittings,
pump, and cylinder) carefully before each use. Do not
operate the log splitter with frayed, kinked, cracked or
damaged hydraulic hoses, fittings, tubing or if oily residue
is observed on any of the components.
•
High fluid pressures and temperatures are developed in
the log splitter.
•
Hydraulic fluid escaping through a pinhole sized opening
can bum or puncture skin, resulting in wounds that could
cause blood poisoning, infection, disability, gangrene,
amputation, or death.
•
Do not remove the hydraulic oil dipstick when the engine
is running. Hot oil can escape causing severe bums.
•
Allow log splitter to cool completely before removing
hydraulic oil dipstick.
•
Do not adjust the pressure setting of the pump or valve.
•
Do not check for leaks with your hand. Leaks can be
located by holding a piece of cardboard or wood (at least
50cm) with your hand at one end and passing the other
end over the suspected area (wear eye protection). Look
for discoloration of the cardboard or wood.
•
Stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug, and move
all control valve handles back and forth to relieve
pressure before changing or adjusting hydraulic system
components such as hoses, tubing, fittings or other
components.
•
If injured by escaping fluid, no matter how small the
wound is, see a doctor at once. A typical injection injury
may be a small puncture wound that does not look
serious* However, severe infection or reaction can result if
proper medical treatment is not administered immediately
by a doctor who is familiar with injection injuries.
•
If the engine is equipped with a spark arrestor muffler,
clean and inspect it regularly (follow manufacturer’s
service instructions). Replace if damaged.
•
Be sure tires are fully inflated and in good repair before
towing the splitter. When adding air to tires, do not over-
inflate — serious injury could occur if tire explodes.
•
Make sure all guards and shields are replaced after
servicing the log splitter.
•
If a part needs replacement, only use genuine yukon
replacement parts. Replacement parts that do not meet
specifications may result in a safety hazard or poor
operation of the log splitter.
