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.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

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.

WARNING:

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

mechanical handling equipment should be used.

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.

FILLING THE HYDRAULIC RESERVOIR

Fill the hydraulic reservoir with at least 12 Quarts of Dextron III Automatic Transmission
fluid or 10W AW 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 another 4 quarts of oil, this should then bring the fluid level up to
approximately 3” below the fill hole. This model requires approx. 18-19 Quarts of
hydraulic fluid.

NOTE:

If the tank is overfilled, it will tend to expel oil from the breather cap when the

cylinder is retracted.

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

See separate Engine Manual for fuel and oil recommendations. Your log splitter has come
equipped with a fuel shut-off valve for towing purposes.
Before starting engine make sure crankcase is filled correctly with oil and the proper fuel
has been used. The engine will only start when the throttle lever and fuel shut-off valve are
turned to their ON positions.

COLD WEATHER START UP

The Cold Weather Clutch enables the engine to be started without having to pull through
cold, thickened hydraulic fluid. Simply pull the handle out into locked position. Start
engine, let it warm up, and release Cold Weather Clutch. After starting, assure that the
lever has reengaged.
