NOTICE
When the outdoor temperature is below 32˚F, Dexron III
transmission fluid can be used. Do not mix hydraulic oil and
transmission fluid. Drain all oil or fluid before adding the other
one.
See hydraulic oil system specifications section for more
details.
NOTICE
To check oil level, use the oil sight glass on the tank.
The oil sight glass has a marker for the acceptable level of
oil. If oil is below the marker, add oil as needed. DO NOT
OVERFILL.
Before Each Use Inspect the Log Splitter
1. Check the hydraulic oil level and visually inspect all hoses,
attachments and cylinder for loose fittings, leaks, cracks,
fraying or other damage.
2. DO NOT operate the log splitter if there is any indication of
damage.
3. Inspect the engine and make sure the oil level is correct
before operating. If the engine is equipped with a spark
arrestor, clean and inspect it regularly (follow spark arrestor
maintenance schedule).
4. The tires need to be fully inflated and in good repair.
Reference the tire sidewall for recommended tire pressure.
WARNING
DO NOT over inflate tires. Serious injury can result if tires
explode.
DO NOT tow the log splitter if the tires are worn or will not hold
air.
DO NOT exceed the maximum 45 MPH (72 KM/H) towing
speed.
Changing Beam from Horizontal to Vertical
Orientation
When logs are too heavy to lift, log splitter beam can be moved
from horizontal to vertical orientation.
To change from horizontal to vertical orientation:
1. Remove “R” clip and pin that locks the beam to the tow bar.
2. Standing alongside the hydraulic ram, (opposite side from the
engine) firmly grasp the handle on the beam and lift upward
while pushing the beam back until upright. (Caution, beam is
heavy.)

To change from vertical to horizontal orientation, reverse steps.
Towing Log Splitter Safety
1. Always check local, state or provincial regulations regarding
towing, licensing and lights before towing your log splitter.
Review towing safety warnings in your towing vehicle manual.
2. Before towing make sure the log splitter is correctly and
securely attached to the vehicle and the safety chains
attached with enough slack to allow for turning.
3. Support leg must be pinned in the “UP” position for towing.
4. Never exceed the max. travel speed of 45 mph (72 km/h).
Towing the log splitter at speeds greater than 45 mph
(72 km/h) could result in serious injury or death. Always
adjust your towing speed according to the terrain and
conditions.

before operating.
