3. Use a breather cap on fluid reservoir.
4. Flush and clean hydraulic system before restarting after servicing.
5. Use “Teflon Tape” on all hydraulic fittings.
6. Allow time for warm-up before splitting wood.
7. Prime the pump before initial start-up by turning over the engine with spark plug disconnected.
Split wood along the grain (lengthwise) only.
Never:
1. Use when fluid is below 20° F or above 150° F.
2. Operate through relief valve for long.
3. Operate with air in hydraulic system.
4. Attempt to cut wood across the grain.
5. Attempt to remove partially split wood from the wedge with your hands. Fully retract press
