BEFORE OPERATION Ensure the following general safety precautions are observed before operating the splitter. • Read and understand this manual completely. For your own safety and the safety of others, become familiar with the splitter BEFORE attempting to operate it. Failure to do so, or any deliberate misuse of the splitter, may result in serious injury or death.

• Use only manufacturer approved parts. Parts must comply with strict manufacturer specifications. Only parts purchased from the manufacturer can be guaranteed to comply with these specifications.
