you start to feel dizzy or weak, move to fresh air immediately. Operate log
splitter ONLY outdoors in a well ventilated area. DO NOT operate the log
splitter inside any building, including garages, basements, crawlspaces,
sheds, or enclosure. DO NOT allow exhaust fumes to enter a confined area
through windows, doors, vents or other openings.
DANGER
Using an engine indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES. Engine exhaust contains
carbon monoxide. This is a poison you cannot see or smell. NEVER use inside a
home or garage, EVEN IF doors and windows are open. ALWAYS use OUTSIDE and far
away from windows, doors, and vents.
WARNING
Although the log splitter contains a spark arrester, maintain a minimum
distance of 5 ft. (1.5 m) from dry vegetation to prevent fires.
WARNING
Sparks can result in fire or electrical shock. When servicing the engine:
Disconnect the spark plug wire and place it where it cannot contact the plug.
DO NOT check for spark with the plug removed. Use only approved spark plug
testers.
WARNING
Running engines produce heat. Severe burns can occur on contact. Combustible
material can catch fire on contact. DO NOT touch hot surfaces. Avoid contact
with hot exhaust gases. Allow equipment to cool before touching. Maintain at
least 3 ft. (91.4 cm) of clearance on all sides to ensure adequate cooling.

applying pressure to the system.
4
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Always keep hands and body parts away from nozzles or pinholes that could
eject hydraulic oil under high pressure in the event of an oil leak. NEVER use
bare hands to search for leaks. Leaks can be detected by using cardboard,
paper or scrap wood over the suspected area.
WARNING
Towing Hazard
Always check with your local municipality, state or provincial regulations
regarding towing, lights and licensing before towing your log splitter on
public roads. BEFORE towing, review all safety warnings in your towing vehicle
manual. Drive safely. Be aware of the added length of the log splitter. NEVER
ride or transport cargo on the log splitter. DO NOT exceed the maximum 45 MPH
(72 KM/H) towing speed.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Fuel Safety
DANGER
GASOLINE AND GASOLINE VAPORS ARE HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND EXPLOSIVE.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.
Gasoline and gasoline vapors: Gasoline vapors are highly flammable and
explosive. Gasoline vapors can cause a fire or explosion if ignited.
Gasoline is a liquid fuel and the resulting gasoline vapors can
ignite and cause a fire or explosion. Gasoline is a skin irritant and needs
to be cleaned up
immediately if spilled on skin or clothes. Gasoline has a distinctive odor,
this will help detect potential
leaks quickly. In any petroleum gas fire, flames should not be extinguished
unless by doing so the fuel supply valve can be turned OFF. This is because if
a fire is extinguished and a supply of fuel is not turned OFF, then an
explosion hazard could be created. Gasoline vapors expand and contract with
ambient temperatures. Never fill the gasoline tank past the red FULL indicator
on the fuel filter, as gasoline vapors needs room to expand if temperatures
rise.
WARNING
When adding or removing gasoline: Do not light or smoke cigarettes. Always
stop the engine and allow to cool for a minimum of two minutes before
refueling. Always loosen gasoline cap slowly to release vapor pressure and to
keep fuel from escaping around the gasoline cap. Always replace and tighten
the gasoline cap securely after fueling. Never remove the gasoline cap or add
gasoline while the engine is running or when the engine is hot. Always fill or
drain gasoline outdoors in a well-ventilated area. Do not pump gasoline
directly into the log splitter at the gas station. Always store gasoline in an
EPA/CARB compliant container or to transfer the gasoline to the log splitter.
Do not overfill the gasoline tank. Always keep gasoline away from sparks, open
flames, pilot lights, heat and other sources of ignition.
WARNING
When starting the log splitter: Do not attempt to start a damaged log
splitter. Always check that the gasoline cap, air filter, spark plug, fuel
lines and exhaust system are properly in place. Always allow spilled gasoline
to evaporate fully before attempting to start the engine. Always be certain
that the log splitter is resting firmly on level ground.
WARNING
When operating the log splitter: Do not move or tip the log splitter during
operation.
WARNING
When transporting or servicing the log splitter: Always check that the fuel
valve is in the OFF position and the gasoline tank is empty. Disconnect the
spark plug wire.
WARNING
When storing the log splitter: Store away from sparks, open flames, pilot
lights, heat and other sources of ignition. Do not store log splitter or
gasoline near furnaces, water heaters, or any other appliances that produce
heat or have automatic ignitions.
DANGER
Never place a gasoline container, gasoline tank, or any combustible material
in the path of the exhaust stream during operation of the engine.
WARNING
Never use a gasoline container, gasoline tank, or any other fuel item that is
broken, cut, torn or damaged.

for types of acceptable oil. 4. Check the hydraulic oil level using the oil sight glass.
Oil level should visibly fill the sight glass.
A
WARNING
DO NOT remove the hydraulic oil fill cap when the engine is running or hot.
Hot oil can escape causing severe burns. Always allow the log splitter to cool
completely before removing the hydraulic oil cap.
High fluid pressure and temperatures are created in the hydraulic log
splitters. Hydraulic fluid will escape through a pin-size hole opening and can
puncture skin and cause severe blood poisoning.
Inspect hydraulic system regularly for possible leaks. Never check for leaks
with your hand while the system is pressurized. Seek medical attention
immediately if injured by escaping fluid.
5. Replace and tighten the oil plug and orient the vent hole away from the
operator zone.
6. Start Engine. (See starting the engine section)
7. Extend and retract the wedge to purge air from the hydraulic system. When
the wedge motion is smooth, the system is properly purged.
8. Check the hydraulic oil tank sight glass. Add approximately 1 gal. (3.8 L)
of hydraulic oil to bring the level back up to the sight glass. Do NOT
overfill.
9. Check oil level daily and add as needed.
NOTICE
When the outdoor temperature is below 32°F (0°C), Dexron III transmission
fluid can be used. Do not mix hydraulic oil and transmission fluid. Drain all
oil or fluid before adding the other one.
See hydraulic oil system specifications section for more details.
NOTICE
To check oil level, place on level surface and use the oil sight glass on the
tank. The oil sight glass has a marker for the acceptable level of oil. If oil
is below the marker, add oil as needed. DO NOT OVERFILL.
