Operation

7. DO NOT load another log or remove split

pieces until the pusher plate has com-

pletely stopped and the control handle

automatically returns to the neutral posi-

tion.

Splitting Large Logs

When splitting a large log, or one in which the

wood is extremely tough or stringy (such as

elm), the first pass through the splitter may

not split the log into two sections. If this hap-

pens, turn the log and split off small sections.

Repeat this process as necessary to split the

entire log.

General Maintenance Check (before operating)

The hydraulic system (hoses, cylinder, and pump) should be carefully inspected before

each use. Also, inspect the mechanical parts at the same time. Make sure all clamps,

nuts, bolts, fittings, etc. are properly installed and tightened.

Do not check for leaks with your hand. Leaks can be located by pass-

ing a piece of cardboard or wood around the suspected leak and look-

ing for discoloration. High-pressure fluid escaping from a very small

hole can be almost invisible. Escaping fluid under pressure can have

sufficient force to penetrate skin, causing serious injury or even death.

If fluid is injected into your skin, it must be treated immediately by a doc-

tor familiar with this type of injury.

Always replace frayed, kinked, or cracked hoses and/or other damaged hydraulic com-

ponents with Brave Products' authorized parts and components specified in the "Parts"

section of this manual. Replacement parts from secondary suppliers (not original Brave

replacement parts) can lead to product damage and/or personal injury, and WILL VOID

THE WARRANTY.

Do not remove the cap from the hydraulic tank or reservoir while the log

splitter is running. Hot oil, under pressure, could be expelled resulting

in serious injury.

Should it become necessary to loosen or remove any hydraulic fitting or line, be sure to

relieve all hydraulic pressure by shutting off the engine, removing spark plug wire, and

moving the valve control handle back and forth several times until no cylinder movement

is visible.

Engine Service

Refer to the engine manufacturers manual for engine maintenance and repair.

Storage

Refer to the engine manufacturers manual for engine storage. No special procedures

are required for the hydraulic system to store the log splitter.
