LIMITED WARRANTY The manufacturer’s warranty to the original consumer purchaser is: This product is free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of two (2) year from the date of purchase by the original consumer purchaser.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS This Safety Alert Symbol indicates important messages in this manual. When you see this symbol, carefully read the message that follows and be alert to the possibility of personal injury. Read this manual completely. This machine can amputate hands, feet, and throw objects. Failure to observe the following safety instructions could result in serious injury or death.
Fluid escaping from a very small hole can be almost invisible. Do not check for leaks with your hand. Escaping fluid under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate skin, causing serious personal injury. Leaks can be located by passing a piece of cardboard or wood over the suspected leak and looking for discoloration. IF injured by escaping fluid, see a doctor at once. Serious infection or reaction can develop if proper medical treatment is not administered immediately.
TOWING SAFETY • Do not allow persons to ride on splitter. Do not carry any cargo or wood on your splitter. It may fall off and endanger vehicles that are following you. • Be sure jack stand is in the travel position and coupling secure. This must also be retracted so not to interfere while towing. Retract kickstand by removing pin, rotating up, and replacing pin. • Never exceed 45 MPH while towing your splitter. Be extra cautious when traveling over rough terrain, especially over railroad tracks.
OPERATION Intended use: This log splitter is intended and designed to only split wood. NEVER use for any other purposes. Doing so can cause injury or VOID THE WARRANTY. ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS This log splitter has been partially assembled at the factory. Refer to the drawings and part lists should it become necessary to disassemble the unit for repair or replacement of parts. Inspect all components for damage. WARNING: Exercise extreme caution, as parts are very heavy.
OPERATION FILLING THE HYDRAULIC RESERVOIR Fill the hydraulic reservoir with at least five gallons of General Purpose Hydraulic fluid or Automatic Transmission fluid. After the hydraulic reservoir and the engine crankcase are filled correctly with their respective oils, start the engine. Remember to set the throttle and turn on the fuel shut-off valve. The hydraulic pump should prime itself. With the engine running, move the hydraulic valve lever toward the wedge.
OPERATION 1. Set up the log splitter in a clear, level area and block the wheels. The suction port on the tank should always be on the lower side of the log splitter. 2. Place a log on the beam, against the foot plate. Make sure the log is securely on the foot plate and up against the beam. 3. Depress the valve lever so that the cylinder will drive the wedge into the log. Extend the cylinder until the log splits or to the end of its stroke.
Do not operate your splitter in poor mechanical condition or when needing repair. Repair and replace worn or broken parts immediately. Periodically tighten nuts, bolts, and hydraulic fittings. The hydraulic system of your log splitter requires careful inspection, along with the mechanical parts. Be sure to replace frayed, kinked, or otherwise damaged hydraulic components. The pressure relief valve on the splitter is preset at the factory. Do not adjust valve.
SAFETY DECALS Replace decals immediately if damaged.
