Instructions for Assembly, Testing, Operation, Servicing, & Storage
Log Splitter: Outdoor hydraulic powered machine that splits wood logs.
All operators of this equipment must read and completely understand all safety information, operating instructions, maintenance and
storage instructions. Failure to properly operate and maintain the log splitter could result in serious injury to the operator and bystanders
from moving parts that can crush or cut, flying objects, burns, fire or explosion, escaping high pressure hydraulic fluid, or carbon
monoxide poisoning in particular, be aware of the following hazards.
Crush and Cut Hazards
Moving parts can crush and cut hands and fingers. Keep hands clear of ram, wedge, and logs, while splitting.
High Pressure Hydraulic Fluid Hazards
High fluid pressures and temperatures are developed in hydraulic log splitters. Hydraulic fluid escaping through even a pin-size hole
opening can puncture skin and cause severe blood poisoning. Inspect hydraulic system regularly for possible leaks. Never check for
leaks with your hand while the system is pressurized. Seek medical attention immediately if injured by escaping fluid.
Fire Hazards
Keep a fire extinguisher rated "ABC" nearby. Keep it properly charged and be familiar with its use.

INSPECT COMPONENTS. Closely inspect upon receipt to make sure no components are missing or damaged. See "Assembly"
section for instructions on whom to contact to report missing or damaged parts.
HYDRAULICS: There are many variations of auxiliary hydraulic connections on skid steers. Read your skid steer manual or check
with your local dealer to determine how to properly connect the log splitter to your skid steer's auxiliary hydraulics.
