Log Splitter
6.11 Stop the Machine
IMPORTANT! Do not choke the carburetor to stop the
engine.
1. Stop loading material onto the splitter bed.
2. Move the hydraulic controls to neutral.
3. Move the engine throttle control to the STOP position to
turn off the engine and close the fuel shutoff valve.
4. Activate each hydraulic control two or three times to relieve
the hydraulic system pressure.
6.12 Emergency Stop
In the event of an emergency:
1. Move the hydraulic controls to neutral.
2. Move the engine throttle control to the STOP position to
turn off the engine and close the fuel shutoff valve.
3. Remove the cause of the emergency before starting the
engine and resuming work.
6.13 Log Placement
Risk of pinching or crushing hazard between the
wedge or push block and the log!
Never place hands at the ends of the log.
Always grasp logs by the sides when loading or
removing.
• Always grasp the log by the sides not the ends when
placing in or removing logs from the splitter. This
minimizes the chance of the operator getting fingers, hands
or arm between the wedge / push block and the log.
• Any logs or debris remaining on the splitter bed should only
be removed after it is safe to do so.
