    GENERAL SAFETY Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury or death. EVER NEVER allow children to operate this log splitter. NEVER allow adults lacking proper instructions and understanding to operate this log splitter. KEEP all people and pets a minimum of 10 feet away from your work area when operating this log splitter.

  • Page 6: Repair And Maintenance Safety

    KNOW how to stop the log splitter and disengage the controls before operating it. NEVER place hands or feet between the log and splitting wedge during forward or reverse stroke. Serious injury or death could result. NEVER straddle or step over the log splitter during operation. NEVER reach or bend over the log splitter to pick up a log.
  • Page 7: Hydraulic Safety

    HYDRAULIC SAFETY The hydraulic system of your log splitter requires careful inspection along with the mechanical parts. Be sure to replace frayed, kinked, cracked or otherwise damaged hydraulic hose and components. NEVER check for leaks of hydraulic fluid with your hand. Fluid escaping from a small hole can be almost invisible. Escaping fluid under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate skin causing serious personal injury or even death.

    IMPORTANT NOTE: This log splitter is equipped with an internal combustion engine and should not be used on or near any unimproved forest- covered, brush-covered or grass-covered land unless the engine’s exhaust system is equipped with a spark arrester meeting applicable local or state laws (if any).
  • Page 9: Assembly Instructions

    ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS NOTE: This log splitter was partially assembled at the factory. Refer to the drawing and parts list should it become necessary to disassemble the unit for repair or replacement of parts. STEP 1: Remove all the components from the crate. Inspect each piece for shipping damage. If any part is damaged, contact your dealer or delivering carrier.
  • Page 10: Engine Oil Recommendations

    STEP 2: The hydraulic reservoir should be filled with an SAE 20 hydraulic oil. If hydraulic oil is difficult to obtain, automatic transmission fluid can be substituted and should be used instead of hydraulic oil when temperatures are below 32 degrees. Use only clean oil and take care to prevent dirt from entering the hydraulic reservoir.
