If any problem or leak is found, do the fol-
lowing before you troubleshoot or correct
problem:
1. Shut engine down immediately and let it
cool for at least 15 minutes to prevent burn
injuries.
2. DISCONNECT SPARK PLUG WIRE (see
Figure 32) from spark plug to prevent
possibility of accidental start-up.
IMPORTANT: If fluid leak is suspected or
seen, DO NOT touch area to find the leak.
Move control lever completely to forward and
backward positions to relieve any hydraulic
pressure and prevent possibility of hydraulic
fluid injection injury during repair.
3. Refer to Troubleshooting on Page 33 for
solutions, or call Technical Support at
(570) 546-9663.

change engine oil (refer to Kohler engine
manual for details).
6. Pull starter handle (see Figure 28) slow-
ly until resistance is felt. Retract handle,
then pull handle quickly with smooth, steady
motion until engine starts.
9. Move control lever (see Figure 29) to cycle
log splitter ram back and forth periodically
during break-in process to bleed hydraulic
system and check for fluid leaks. Do not
operate at full load until after engine break-in
has been completed.
8. Let engine run at 75% throttle for one hour.
7. After several seconds, move choke lever
slowly to OFF (O) position.
