Stopping The Engine; Log Splitter Operation - Champion 100883 Operator's Manual

100883 - 27 TON LOg SPLiTTER
5. As engine warms up, move the choke lever to the "RUN"
position.

Keep choke lever in "CHOKE" position for 2 pulls of the recoil
starter. After second pull, move choke lever to the "RUN"
position for up to the next 3 pulls of the recoil starter.
Too much choke leads to spark plug fouling/engine flooding
due to the lack of incoming air. This will cause the engine not
to start.

If the engine starts but does not run make certain that the log
splitter is on a flat, level surface. The engine is equipped with
a low oil sensor that will prevent the engine from running when
the oil level falls below a critical threshold.

Stopping the Engine

In an emergency, turn the engine switch to the "OFF"
position.

Under normal operation:
1. Turn the fuel valve to the "OFF" position.
2. Let the engine run until fuel starvation has stopped the
engine. This usually takes a few minutes.
Important: Always ensure that the fuel valve and the engine
switch are in the "OFF" position when the engine is not in use.
If the engine will not be used for a period of two (2) weeks or
longer, please see the Storage section for proper engine and
fuel storage.

Log Splitter Operation

1. ALWAYS wear ear and eye protection, protective clothing and
safety gear.
2. Block tires and ensure support leg is secure to prevent
unintended movement of the log splitter during operation.
3. Set log splitter in either the horizontal or vertical position.
HORIZONTAL position is used for lighter logs that can easily be
loaded onto the beam.
VERTICAL position is used for light logs as well as heavy logs
that are difficult to load onto the beam.
Back injury can result from lifting logs onto the log splitter if
proper lifting techniques are not used.
