ASSEMBLY
Add Fuel
WARNiNg
Pouring gasoline too fast through the fuel screen may result in
blow back of gasoline at the operator while filling.
CAUTiON
Use regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating
of 85 and an ethanol content of less than 10% by volume.
DO NOT mix oil and gasoline.
Fill tank to approximately ¼ in. (6.4 mm) below the top of the
tank to allow for gasoline expansion.
DO NOT pump gasoline directly into the log splitter at the
pump. Use an approved container to transfer the gasoline to
the log splitter.
DO NOT fill tank indoors.
DO NOT fill tank when the engine is running or hot.
DO NOT overfill the tank.
DO NOT light cigarettes or smoke when filling the tank.
NOTiCE
Our engines work well with 10% or less ethanol blend
gasoline. When using ethanol-gasoline blends there are some
issues worth noting:
–
Ethanol-gasoline blends can absorb more water than
gasoline alone.
–
These blends can eventually separate, leaving water or a
watery goo in the tank, fuel valve and carburetor.
–
With gravity-fed supplies, the compromised gasoline can
be drawn into the carburetor and cause damage to the
engine and/or potential hazards.
–
There are only a few suppliers of fuel stabilizer that are
formulated to work with ethanol-gasoline blends.
–
Any damages or hazards caused by using improper
gasoline, improperly stored gasoline, and/or improperly
formulated stabilizers, are not covered by manufacturer’s
warranty.
It is advisable to always shut off the gasoline supply, run the
engine to starvation and drain the tank when the equipment is
not in use for more than 30 days.
1. Use clean, fresh, regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum
octane rating of 85 and an ethanol content of less than 10%
by volume.
y b c
2. DO NOT mix oil with gasoline.
3. Remove the gasoline cap.
4. Slowly add gasoline to the tank. DO NOT OVERFILL.
5. Gasoline can expand after filling. A minimum of ¼ in.
(6.4 mm) of space left in the tank is required for gasoline
expansion, although more than ¼ in. (6.4 mm) is
recommended. Gasoline can be forced out of the tank as a
result of expansion if overfilled, and can affect the stable
running condition of the log splitter.
6. Screw on the gasoline cap and wipe away any spilled fuel.
Add Hydraulic Oil
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.
NOTiCE
To check oil level, insert the dipstick into fill neck until it stops.
Remove and read level. Do not thread dipstick into fill neck
when checking oil.
When the outdoor temperature is below 32°F (0°C), Dexron III
transmission fluid can be used.
