Important Safety Information

GENERAL SAFETY

Failure to follow warnings, cautions, assembly and operation

instructions in the Operation Manual may result in serious

injury or death.

Read the Operation Manual before operation.

• Do not permit children to operate this equipment at any time.

Do not permit others that have not read and understood the

complete Operation Manual to operate this equipment.

• Keep all people and pets a minimum of 10 feet away from the

work area when operating this log splitter. Only the operator is

to be near the log splitter during use.

• Do not operate the log splitter when under the inﬂuence of

alcohol, drugs or medication.

• Do not allow a person who is tired or otherwise impaired or not

completely alert to operate the log splitter.

PREPARATION OF THE LOG

Both ends of the log should be cut as square as possible to prevent

the log from rotating out of the splitter during operation.

Do not split logs greater than 25 in. in length.

WORK AREA

• Do not operate the log splitter on icy, wet, muddy or otherwise

slippery ground. ONLY operate your log splitter on level ground.

Operating on a slope could cause the log splitter to roll over or

logs to fall o of the equipment, which could result in injury.

• Do not operate the log splitter in an enclosed area. Exhaust

fumes from the engine contain carbon monoxide which can be

harmful or deadly when inhaled.

• Do not move the log splitter over hilly or uneven terrain without

a tow vehicle or adequate help.

• Use a tire chock or block on the wheels to prevent movement of

the log splitter while in operation.

• Operate the log splitter in daylight or under good artiﬁcial light.

• Keep the work area free of clutter. Remove split wood from

around the log splitter immediately after each use to avoid

potential tripping.

DANGER

Important Safety Information

OPERATION OF THE LOG SPLITTER

Operate the log splitter from within the operation zone as shown

in the diagrams below. e operator has the safest and most

eﬃcient access to the control valve and the beam in these locations.

Failure to operate the log splitter in this position can result in

serious injury or death.

• Make sure the operator knows how to stop and disengage the

controls before operating.

• Do not place hands or feet between the log and splitting wedge

during forward or reverse stroke. Serious injury or death could

result.

• Do not straddle or step over the log splitter during operation.

• Do not reach or bend over the log splitter to pick up a log.

• Do not attempt to split two logs on top of each other.

• Do not attempt to cross split a log.

• Do not attempt to load your log splitter when the ram or wedge

is in motion.

• Use your hand to operate the control lever on the valve. Do not

use your foot, a rope or any extension device.

• Do not move the log splitter while the engine is running.

• Never leave the equipment unattended while the engine is

running. Shut oﬀ the engine even if you are leaving the log

splitter for a short period of time.

• Avoid contact with the muﬄer and other hot areas of the engine

during operation or after running to prevent burns.

DANGER

Important Safety Information

REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE

• Do not operate the log splitter when it is in poor mechanical

condition or in need of repair. Frequently check that all nuts,

bolts, screws, hydraulic ﬁttings and hose clamps are tight.

• Do not alter the log splitter in any manner. Any alteration will

void the warranty and could cause the log splitter to be unsafe

to operate. Perform all recommended maintenance procedures

before using the log splitter. Replace all damaged or worn parts

immediately.

• Do not tamper with the engine to run it at excessive speeds.

e maximum engine speed is preset by the manufacturer and is

within safety limits. See Kohler engine manual.

• Remove the spark plug wire before performing any service or

repair on the log splitter.

• Always check the level of hydraulic oil and engine oil before

operation.

• Replacement parts must meet manufacturer’s speciﬁcations.

HYDRAULIC SAFETY

e hydraulic system of the 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.

• Check for hydraulic uid leaks by passing a piece of paper or

cardboard underneath or over the area of the leak. Do not check

for leaks with your hand. Fluid escaping from the smallest hole,

under pressure, can have enough force to penetrate the skin causing

serious injury or death.

• Seek professional medical attention immediately if injured

by escaping hydraulic uid. Serious infection or reaction can

develop if medical treatment is not administered immediately.

• 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.

• Do not remove the cap from the hydraulic tank or reservoir while

the log splitter is running. e tank could contain hot oil under

pressure which could result in serious injury.

• Do not adjust the hydraulic valve. e pressure relief valve on

the log splitter is preset at the factory. Only a qualied service

technician should perform this adjustment.

WARNING

Important Safety Information

FIRE PREVENTION

• Do not operate the log splitter near an open ﬂame or spark.

Hydraulic oil and gasoline are ammable and can explode.

• Do not ﬁll the gas tank while the engine is hot or running.

Allow the engine to cool before refueling.

• Do not smoke while operating or refueling the log splitter. Gas

fumes can easily explode.

• Refuel the log splitter in a clear area with no gas fumes or spilled

gas. Use an approved fuel container. 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.

• Keep a Class B ﬁre extinguisher on hand when operating this log

splitter in dry areas as a precautionary measure against possible

ﬂying sparks.

• Drain the fuel tank prior to storage to avoid the potential ﬁre

hazard. Store gasoline in an approved, tightly sealed container.

Store the container in a cool, dry place.

• Turn the fuel shut oﬀ valve on the engine to the “OFF” position

before towing the log splitter. Failure to do so may result in

ﬂooding the engine.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

is log splitter is equipped with an internal combustion engine

and should not be used on or near any unimproved forest-covered,

brush-covered or grass-covered land unless the engine’s exhaust

system is equipped with a spark arrester meeting applicable

local or state laws (if any). If a spark arrester is used, it should be

maintained in eﬀective working order by the operator. In the state

of California a spark arrester is required by law. Other states have

similar laws.

Federal laws apply on federal lands. A spark arrester muﬄer

(optional by manufacturer) is available as an accessory at your

nearest engine dealer. Always check the legal requirements in your

area.

CAUTION

Important Safety Information

TOWING SAFETY

•Check all local and state regulations regarding towing, licensing,

and lights before towing your log splitter.

• Check before towing to make sure that the log splitter is

correctly and securely attached to the towing vehicle and that the

safety chains are secured to the hitch or bumper of the vehicle

with enough slack to allow turning. Always use a Class I, 2” ball

with this log splitter.

• Do not carry any cargo or wood on the log splitter.

• Do not allow anyone to sit or ride on the log splitter.

• Disconnect the log splitter from the towing vehicle before

operating it.

• Use care when backing up with the log splitter in tow to avoid

jack-kniﬁng. Allow for added length of the log splitter when

turning, parking, crossing intersections and in all driving

situations.

• Do not exceed 45 mph when towing your log splitter. Towing

the log splitter at speeds higher than 45 mph could result in loss

of control, damage to the equipment, serious injury or death.

Adjust towing speed for terrain and conditions. Be extra cautious

when towing over rough terrain especially railroad crossings.
