interruptions for refueling.
The fuel tank is located on the engine. Avoid running the tank
dry.

6.7.1 Refueling
Fuel tank capacity: 0.95 US gal (3.6 L).
WARNING!
Fuel vapors can explode causing
injury or death. Do not smoke while
refueling. Keep sparks, fl ames, and hot
components away.
Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped. If the
engine has been running, allow it to cool first. Never refuel the
engine inside a building where gasoline fumes can come in
contact with flames or sparks.
For fuel specification, see Fluids and Lubricants on page 33 .
Refer to the engine manual for additional information on fuels.
1. Clean the area around fuel tank cap. Fill the tank to 1/2"
(12 mm) below bottom of filler neck to provide space for
any fuel expansion. Do not overfill.
2. Install fuel fill cap securely and wipe up any spilled fuel.

6.8 Machine Set-up

IMPORTANT! Park the wood splitter on a level, dry work
area free of debris and other objects.
Position the splitter so the prevailing wind blows engine
exhaust away from the operator.
If a tow vehicle is available, leaving the splitter
attached to it provides greater stability.
WX540 splitters are designed with a pivoting main frame that
allows horizontal or fully vertical splitting.
1. Position the splitter next to the wood to be split.
2. Leave the splitter attached to the tow vehicle. If no tow
vehicle is available, lower the front crank jack and the rear
00198
jack stand. Chock the wheels so the machine is stable.
3. Make sure working area is clear of stones, branches or
other obstacles.
4. Precut logs to desired block size, ready to load onto splitter
bed.
5. Determine where the split wood is going to be piled. Make
sure that location does not interfere loading splitter.
