Page 6: Repair And Maintenance Safety
KNOW how to stop the log splitter and disengage the controls before operating it. NEVER place hands or feet between the log and splitting wedge during forward or reverse stroke. Serious injury or death could result. NEVER straddle or step over the log splitter during operation. NEVER reach or bend over the log splitter to pick up a log.
Page 7: Hydraulic Safety
HYDRAULIC SAFETY The hydraulic system of your log splitter requires careful inspection along with the mechanical parts. Be sure to replace frayed, kinked, cracked or otherwise damaged hydraulic hoses or hydraulic components. NEVER check for leaks of hydraulic fluid with your hand. Fluid escaping from a small hole can be almost invisible. Escaping fluid under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate skin causing serious personal injury or even death. Leaks can be detected by passing a piece of cardboard over the suspected leak and looking for discoloration. ALWAYS seek professional medical attention immediately if injured by escaping hydraulic fluid. Serious infection or reac- tion can develop if proper medical treatment is not administered immediately. ALWAYS be sure to relieve all pressure by shutting off the engine and moving the valve control handle back and forth should it become necessary to loosen or remove any hydraulic fitting.
