Gas and oil Fill-up
Service the engine with gasoline and oil as instructed below. Read the
instructions carefully.
WARNING
Use extreme care when handling gasoline. Gasoline is extremely
flammable and the vapors are explosive. Never fuel the machine
indoors or while the engine is hot or running.
NOTE: Your log splitter may be shipped with motor oil in the engine.
You MUST check the oil level before operating. Be careful not to
overfill. Gasoline can be added to the engine when the log splitter is
in either the horizontal or vertical position. However, there are less
obstructions when the splitter is in the vertical position.
