90720 - 7 TON FULL BEAM LOG SPLITTER
ASSEMBLY
Add Engine Oil
CAUTION
DO NOT attempt to crank or start the engine before it has been
properly filled with the recommended type and amount of oil.
Damage to the engine as a result of failure to follow these
instructions will void your warranty.
NOTICE
The recommended oil type is
10W-30 automotive oil
.
NOTICE
Once oil has been added, a visual check should show oil about
1-2 threads from running out of the fill hole.
If using the dipstick to check oil level, DO NOT screw in the
dipstick while checking.
NOTICE
Check oil often during the break-in period. Refer to the
Maintenance section for recommended service intervals.
NOTICE
We consider the first 5 hours of run time to be the break-
in period for the engine. During the break in period we
recommend using standard automotive non-synthetic blended
oils. After the break in period synthetic lubricant can be used
but is not required. Adjusting throttle setting will increase/
decrease engine speed helping to seat piston rings. Avoid
bogging or lugging the engine down and avoid prolonged
running at constant RPM. After the 5 hour break-in period,
change the oil. Using synthetic lubricants does not increase
the recommended oil change interval.
NOTICE
Weather will affect engine oil and engine performance. Change
the type of engine oil used based on weather conditions to suit
the engine needs.
NOTICE
Synthetic oil may be used after the 5 hour initial break-in
period. Using synthetic oil does not increase the recommended
oil change interval. Full synthetic 5W-30 oil will aid in starting
in cold ambient < 41ºF (5ºC).
