GENERALSAFETY

EVER

NEVER allowchildren or adultslacking proper instructionsandunderstandingto operate this logsplitter.

KEEP allpeople andpetsa minimum of10 feet awayfrom your workarea whenoperating this logsplitter. Onlythe operator

is to be near the log splitter during use.

If a helper is assisting in loading logs, NEVER actuate the control until the helper is clear of the work area.

NEVERoperatethelog splitter whenundertheinfluence of alcohol,drugsormedication.

NEVER allow a person who is tired or otherwise not alert to use your log splitter.

PREPARATIONOF THE LOG

Both ends of the log should be cut as square as possible to help prevent the log from riding out of the splitter during

operation. Do not split logs greater than 26 in. in length.

WORKAREA

NEVER operate the log splitter on slippery, wet, muddy or icy 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 off.

NEVERoperateyour log splitterinan enclosed area.Exhaustfumes contain carbonmonoxidewhich can bedeadly when

inhaled.

NEVERattempttomove your log splitteroverhilly or uneven terrainwithoutatow vehicle oradequatehelp.

ALWAYS blockthewheelsto prevent movementofthe log splitter whileinoperation.

ONLY operate your logsplitter in daylightor under goodartificial light.

ALWAYS keep the work area clean. Remove split wood around your log splitter immediately so that you don’t stumble

overit.

REPAIRANDMAINTENANCE SAFETY

NEVER operateyour logsplitter when itis in poormechanical conditionor in needof repair.

Periodically check that all nuts, bolts, screws, hydraulic fittings and hose clamps are tightened.

NEVER alter your log splitter in any manner such as adding a rope or extenstion to the control lever or adding to the width or

height of the wedge. Such alterations may cause your log splitter to be unsafe and will void the warranty.

Performallrecommendedmaintenance procedures before usingyourlogsplitter.

Replaceall damaged or wornpartsimmediately.

NEVER tamper with the engine to run it at excessive speeds. The maximum engine speed is preset by the manufacturer and

is within safety limits.

HYDRAULICSAFETY

The hydraulic system of your log splitter requires careful inspection along with the mechanical parts. Be sure to

replacefrayed, kinked, cracked orotherwisedamaged hydraulic hose andcomponents.

NEVER check for leaks of hydraulic fluid with your hand. Fluid escaping from a small hole can be almost invisible.

Escapingfluid under pressure canhavesufficient force to penetrateskincausing serious personal injuryoreven death.

Leaks can be detected by passing a piece of cardboard over the suspected leak and looking for discoloration.

ALWAYS seekprofessionalmedical attention immediately ifinjured by escaping hydraulicfluid.Serious infection orreaction

candevelop if proper medicaltreatmentis not administered immediately.

ALWAYS besuretorelieve all pressurebyshuttingofftheengineand moving the valvecontrolhandle back and forth

should it become necessary to loosen or remove any hydraulic fitting.

NEVER removethe cap from thehydraulictank or reservoirwhilethe log splitterisrunning. Hot oil underpressure

could result in serious injury.

NEVER adjustthe hydraulic valve.The pressure reliefvalveon your log splitterispreset at thefactory. Onlyaqualified

servicetechnicianshould perform thisadjustment.

FIREPREVENTION

NEVER operateyour log splitterneara flame orspark.Hydraulic oil and gasolineare flammable and canexplode.

NEVER fillthe gastankwhile the engineis hot orrunning.Allowthe engine tocool before refueling.

NEVER smokewhile operating orrefuelingyour log splitter.Gas fumes caneasilyexplode.

ONLY refuel your log splitter in a clear area with no gas fumes or spilled gas.

ALWAYS disconnect your logsplitterfrom the towing vehiclebeforeoperating it.

ALWAYS be careful when backing up with your log splitter in tow. It could jackknife.

ALWAYS allowforadded length of yourlogsplitter when turning,parking,crossing interesectionsandin all driving

situations.

NEVER exceed 45 mph when towing your log splitter. Towing the log splitter at speeds higher than 45 mph could result in

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: Read and thoroughly understand all instructions and safety information before operating this

log splitter. Failure to do so may cause serious injury or death. Do not allow anyone to operate this log

splitter who has not read this manual. As with all power equipment a log splitter can be dangerous if it

isassembled or usedimproperly.Do notoperatethis log splitterifyou havedoubtsor questions concerning

safeoperation.Callourcustomer servicedepartment at1-800-525-8322toaddressthese concerns.

CAUTION: DO NOT START OR RUN THE ENGINE WITHOUT OIL INTHE HYDRAULIC RESERVOIRAND ENGINE.

STEP2:ThehydraulicreservoirshouldbefilledwithanSAE20hydraulicoil.Ifhydraulicoilisdifficulttoobtain,automatictransmissionfluidcan

be substituted and should be used instead of hydraulic oil when temperatures are below 32 degrees F. Use only clean oil and take care to

prevent dirt from entering the hydraulic reservoir.

CAUTION: WHEN TIGHTENING THE BREATHER CAP ON THE TANK, POINT THE HOLE AWAY FROM THE ENGINE

AND THE OPERATOR ZONE.

ENGINE OIL RECOMMENDATIONS

1) 25 Ton, 28 Ton and 34 Ton Models- For temperatures above 40 degrees F use an SAE 30W oil. Using multigrade oil may increase oil

consumption. Using SAE 30W oil below 40 degrees F will result in hard starting and possible engine bore damage. For temperatures below

40 degrees F use an SAE 10W-30 or SAE 5W-30 oil. Oil capacity is about 1-1/2 quarts (48 ounces; 1.4 liters).

2) 22 Ton Model- For temperatures above 40 degrees F use an SAE 30W oil. Using multigrade oils may increase oil consumption. Using SAE 30W

oil below 40 degrees F will result in hard starting and possible engine bore damage. For temperatures below 40 degrees F use an SAE 10W-30

or SAE 5W-30 oil. Oil capacity is approximately 5/8 quart (20 ounces; 0.6 liter).

DIRECTIONS FOR FILLING HYDRAULIC SYSTEM

Fill the hydraulic reservoir with at least five gallons of hydraulic fluid (25 ton, 28 ton & 34 ton models). Use at least four gallons for the 22 ton model.

After the hydraulic reservoir and the engine crankcase are filled with oil, start the engine. The hydraulic pump should prime itself. With the engine

running, move the hydraulic valve lever toward the wedge. This will cause the cylinder to extend and expel air. When the cylinder is fully extended,

retract it. Repeat this procedure several times. An erratic movement of the cylinder indicates that there is still air in the system. More oil should then

STARTING INSTRUCTIONS

Refer also to the Engine Operating and Maintenance Instructions manual for your particular log splitter.

1) 25Ton,28Ton and 34Ton Models with10.5 h.p.Engine

a) Move the throttle lever to “FAST”. Always operate the engine with throttle lever in the “FAST” position

b) Move choke control lever to “CHOKE” position.

c) Grasp rope handle and pull slowly until resistance is felt. Then pull rapidly to start engine and avoid engine kickback.

d) Allow the engine to warm up. If operating in warm weather, move the choke control lever toward “RUN” a short distance at a time over

several seconds. For cold weather operation do this procedure over several minutes. Operate with choke lever in the “RUN” position.

e) To stop engine, move the throttle lever to the “STOP” position.

2) 22Ton Modelwith6.5h.p.EngineandPrimer

a) Move control lever to “FAST.”

b) Push primer bulb three (3) times.

NOTE: DO NOT USE PRIMER TO RESTART A WARM ENGINE AFTER A SHORT SHUTDOWN.
