Dirty hand 107036 Operation Manual page 15

Operating Instructions
CAUTION: Turn Fuel Shut Off Valve to the "Off " position
before towing to avoid flooding the engine.
NOTE: The engine's maximum speed is factory preset at 3600
RPM as the no load speed. The throttle should be set at the
maximum speed for wood splitting to reach the horsepower
required for the pump.
WARNING: Review safety information related to operation of
the log splitter on pages 4-10 of this manual. Make sure that you
have the recommended personal protective equipment described
on page 4.
1. Set up the log splitter in a clear, level area and block the
wheels. Make sure that the suction port on the tank is always
on the lower side of the log splitter.
2. For horizontal operation place a log on the beam against the
foot plate. Make sure the log is securely on the foot plate and
against the beam. To split wood in the vertical position, release
the pin on the beam latch located on the front end of the
beam. Carefully tilt the beam up until the foot plate is sitting
squarely on the ground and the log splitter is stable. Place
the log on the foot plate against the beam. When the beam is
returned to the horizontal position make sure the beam latch
is securely locked down.
3. With the engine running, depress the valve handle 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.
IMPORTANT: 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 unsquare ends.
Store manuals in the Manual Cannister attached to the tongue
of the log splitter or file in a safe place for future reference.
