COLD WEATHER START UP 
The Cold Weather Clutch enables the engine to be started without having to pull through cold, thickened 
hydraulic fluid.  Simply push the handle in to the locked position.  Start engine, let it warm up, and release 
Cold Weather Clutch. 

 

SPLITTER OPERATION 

1.

 

Set up the log splitter in a clear, level area and block the wheels.  The suction port on the tank should always 
be on the lower side of the log splitter. 

2.

 

Place a log on the beam, against the foot plate.  Make sure the log is securely on the foot plate and up 
against the beam. 

3.

 

Depress the valve lever so that the cylinder will drive the wedge into the log.  Extend the cylinder until the 
log splits or to the end of its stroke.  If the log has not completely split after the cylinder has reached the end 
of its extension, retract the cylinder.  NOTE: Leaving the valve in the “actuate” position at the end of the 
stroke may damage the pump. Always use extra care when splitting logs with ends that are not square. 

 

NOTE:

 To extend the life of the hydraulic cylinder, avoid “BOTTOMING OUT” the cylinder. 

 
4.

 

When using the Log Splitter in the vertical position, make sure the beam latch is engaged as shown below.  
Pull the bent pin outward then twist and release it to hold the I-beam in place. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
TOWING SAFETY 

This unit should not be towed on any street, highway, or public road without checking the existing federal, local, and 
state laws.  Any licensing or modifications such as taillights, etc., need to comply with existing federal, local, or state 
vehicle requirements is the sole responsibility of the purchaser.  Obey all regulations when towing on public roads 
and highways.  See also

 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

 
Turn the fuel shut-off valve if applicable OFF to prevent flooding of the engine while traveling. 
 
Be careful when backing up.  You can easily jack-knife your splitter. 
 
TOWING AT NIGHT 
The requirements for taillights are based on States regulations.  Some states allow towing at night as long 
as the towed equipment does not visibly impair the tow vehicle taillights.  This is based on a state, to state 
requirements.  The customer is responsible for meeting the states requirements. 
 
If a “Statement of Origin” is required in your state, see your local dealer to receive one. 
 
HYDRAULIC SAFETY 

The hydraulic system on your splitter requires careful inspection along with the mechanical parts.  Be sure to replace 
any frayed, kinked, cracked or otherwise damaged hydraulic components.  Just because it isn’t leaking today doesn’t 
mean that it will not fail tomorrow.
