ASSEMBLY 

 

This log splitter has been partially assembled at the factory.  Refer to the drawings and part lists should it become 
necessary to disassemble the unit for repair or replacement of parts. 
 
Inspect all components for damage. If you believe you have a damaged part please contact customer service 
immediately at 1-800-222-8183. 
 

WARNING:

  Exercise extreme caution, as parts are very heavy.  Sufficient persons or mechanical handling 

equipment should be used. 
 
Refer to uncrating and assembly instructions for assembly procedures. 
 

OPERATION 

 

INTENDED USE:  

This log splitter is intended and designed to only split wood.  NEVER use for any other 

purposes.  Doing so can cause injury or VOID THE WARRANTY. 

 
IMPORTANT:  

This unit is shipped with oil but without gasoline in the engine.  After assembly, see separate 

Engine Manual for proper fuel and oil recommendations. 

 
WARNING:  DO NOT START OR RUN THE LOG SPLITTER WITHOUT OIL IN THE ENGINE AND 
HYDRAULIC RESERVOIR. 

 

FILLING THE HYDRAULIC RESERVOIR 

Fill the hydraulic reservoir to within an inch of the fill spout with general-purpose automatic transmission fluid or 
general-purpose hydraulic fluid.  After the hydraulic reservoir and the engine crankcase are filled correctly with their 
respective oils, start the engine.  Remember to set the throttle and turn on the fuel shut-off valve.  The hydraulic pump 
should prime itself.  With the engine running, move the hydraulic valve lever toward the wedge. This will cause the 
cylinder to extend and expel air.  When the cylinder is fully extended, retract it.  Repeat this procedure several times. 
(An erratic movement of the cylinder indicates that there is air in the system).  Once the cylinder has a smooth and 
constant speed indicating that all air has been expelled, add hydraulic fluid until it reaches the top line of the fluid 
operating range.
