Replacement Part List

Operating Instructions

NOTE: For operation in wooded areas, obtain a spark arrestor

for the exhaust system. See the engine operating and maintenance

manual and check with your authorized service center. See also

Fire Prevention on page 5 of this manual.

IMPORTANT: To extend the life of the hydraulic cylinder

avoid bottoming out the wedge plate to the foot piece.

To conform with industry safety recommendations the wedge

stops 1/2 inches from the end of the stroke.

TOWING

is log splitter is equipped with pneumatic tires, a Class I coupler

(2 in. diameter ball required) and safety chains. Before towing,

the safety chains must be secured to the hitch or bumper of the

vehicle. Local regulations should be checked regarding licensing,

lights, towing, etc. Turn fuel shut oﬀ valve on the engine to the

“Oﬀ ” position prior to towing. Failure to do so may result in

ﬂooding the engine. Do not exceed 45 mph when towing this log

splitter. See also Towing Safety on page 9 of this manual.

MAINTENANCE

1. Consult the operating and maintenance instructions of the

engine manufacturer for engine care and maintenance.

2. Always check the oil level of the hydraulic reservoir before

operation. Operating the log splitter without an adequate oil

supply will cause severe damage to the pump.

3. Change the oil ﬁlter after the ﬁrst 25 hours of operation.

ere after change the oil ﬁlter every 100 hours or seasonally,

whichever comes ﬁrst.

4. To drain the hydraulic oil, loosen the clamp on the hose

coming from the ﬁtting on the bottom of the tank. It is located

just to the right of the oil ﬁlter.

5. If the wedge becomes dull or nicked, it can be removed and

sharpened. Remove the bolt that connects the wedge to the

cylinder. e hose from the valve may need to be removed.

Carefully lift the cylinder to allow the wedge to slide forward.

e wedge can now be lifted oﬀ and sharpened.

6. Clean the breather cap after 25 hours of operation. Clean

it more often when operated in dusty conditions. To clean,

remove the breather cap from the tank and ﬂush with kerosene

or liquid detergent to remove the dirt.
