•

NEVER

use this log splitter for any other purposes than splitting wood. It is designed for this use

only

. Any other

use can cause serious injury or death.

•

BEFORE

operating this log splitter, make sure that you wear safety gear such as goggles or safety glasses, steel

toed shoes and tight fitting gloves (without loose cuffs or draw strings). Always wear a protective hearing device

when operating this log splitter.

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 24-1/2 inches in length.

ONLY

one operator may operate the log splitter from the

operator zone as shown in the diagram. Keep all bystanders

and pets away. The operator has the safest and most

efficient access to the control valve and the beam in this

location. Operating the log splitter in another location can

result in serious injury or death.

•

ALWAYS

block the wheels to prevent movement of the log splitter while in operation.

•

KNOW

how to stop the log splitter and disengage the controls before operating it.

•

NEVER

place hands or feet between the log and splitting wedge during forward or reverse strokes as this could

result in serious injury or death.

•

NEVER

straddle or step over the log splitter during operation.

•

NEVER

reach or bend over the log splitter to pick up a log.

•

NEVER

try to split two logs on top of each other.

•

NEVER

try to cross split a log.

•

NEVER

attempt to load the log splitter when the ram or wedge is in motion.

•

NEVER

use your foot, a rope, or any extension device to operate the control lever on the valve. Only use hand.

•

NEVER

move the log splitter while the engine is running. Shut off the engine if you are leaving the log splitter, even

for a short period of time.

•

NEVER

touch the muffler and hot areas of the engine during operation. Wait until the engine cools down.

•

IMPORTANT

Holding the valve in the “actuate” position at the end of the stroke may damage the log splitter.

•

ALWAYS

use extra care when splitting logs with unsquare ends.

Page 6

•

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.

Page 7

•

ALWAYS

store gasoline in an approved, tightly sealed container and away from heating appliances. Store the con-

tainer in a cool, dry place.

IMPORTANT NOTE

- (Spark Arrester)

As a precautionary measure against possible flying sparks, always take a Class B fire extinguisher with you when oper-

ating this log splitter in dry areas. This 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 is optional and avail-

able as an accessory at your nearest engine dealer. Always check the legal requirements in your area.

•

NEVER

move your log splitter over hilly or uneven terrain without a tow vehicle or adequate help.

•

NEVER

carry any cargo or wood on your log splitter.

•

NEVER

allow anyone to sit or ride on your log splitter.

•

NEVER

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, or serious injury or death. Adjust towing speed for terrain and

conditions. Be extra cautious when towing over rough terrain, especially railroad crossings, and avoid sharp turns

and steep angles when towing your log splitter.

•

NEVER

exceed weight capacity of ball or load limits of coupler.

•

ALWAYS

confirm coupler tightness each time before towing and after towing 50 miles.

•

ALWAYS

disconnect your log splitter from the towing vehicle before operating it.

•

ALWAYS

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

•

ALWAYS

allow for added length of your log splitter when turning, parking, crossing intersections and in all driving

situations.

•

ALWAYS

use safety chains when towing your log splitter.

•

ALWAYS

check all local and state regulations regarding towing, licensing, and lights before towing your log splitter.

•

ALWAYS

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 1, 2” ball with this log splitter.

•

ALWAYS

replace ball or coupler if damaged or excessively worn.

•

ALWAYS

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.

•

ALWAYS

lift support stands and have beam pinned down and forward for transport.
