• NEVER attempt to remove stuck logs while the log splitter is running.

• ALWAYS replace all damaged or worn parts immediately with parts approved by the manufacturer.

• ALWAYS check regularly that all nuts, bolts, screws, hydraulic fittings and hose clamps are tight.

• ALWAYS be sure any and all replacement parts meet the manufacturer’s specifications.

Maintenance and Safety

•

The mechanical and hydraulic systems of the log splitter require careful inspection. Be sure to replace any damaged hydraulic hoses or

components immediately to ensure safe operation of the log splitter.

• NEVER check for leaking hydraulic fluid by using your hands. Leaking hydraulic fluid under pressure can potentially penetrate the skin causing

SERIOUS INJURY or even DEATH. Leaks can be safely detected by holding a piece of cardboard over the suspected leak and looking for

discoloration.

• NEVER remove the cap from the hydraulic tank while the log splitter is running. The tank contains hot oil under pressure which could cause

serious injury if released from the tank.

• NEVER adjust the relief valve setting on the log splitter. The pressure relief valve on the log splitter is pre-set by the manufacturer. Only a

qualified service technician should perform any adjustments.

• ALWAYS immediately seek medical attention if injured by escaping hydraulic fluid. Serious infections or reactions can develop if proper medical

treatment is not quickly administered.

• ALWAYS check the system is not under any pressure by shutting off the engine and moving the valve control handle back and forth. Check for

pressure before loosening or removing any hydraulic fitting.

• ALWAYS keep the beam and wedge free of debris build-up.

Fire Prevention

•

ONLY refuel the log splitter in clear areas with no gas fumes and no spilled gas.

• NEVER operate the log splitter near flames, sparks or smoke. Hydraulic oil and gasoline are flammable and potentially explosive.

• NEVER add fuel to the log splitter while the engine is hot or running. Allow the engine to cool completely before refuelling.

• If gasoline spills, move the log splitter away from the area of the spill and avoid creating any source of ignition.

• ALWAYS securely replace the gas cap.

• ALWAYS clean wood debris from the muffler area of the engine.

• ALWAYS store gasoline in an appropriate, tightly sealed container. Store the gas container in a cool, dry place and away from any heat sources.

Important Note: Spark Arrestor-Regulation

•

As a precautionary measure against possible flying sparks, always have a Class B fire extinguisher on hand when operating the log splitter in dry

areas. The log splitter is equipped with an internal combustion engine that generates heat and potential flying sparks. Only use the log splitter on

or near any unimproved, forest-covered, brush-covered, or grass-covered land if the engine’s exhaust system is equipped with a spark arrester in

compliance with any applicable local or state laws. Spark arresters should be effectively maintained and serviced. In some countries, a spark

arrester is required by law and other states have similar laws. Federal laws will apply when operating the log splitter on federal land. Always

research and comply with applicable state, local and federal laws, and regulations. A spark arrester muffler is optional and available as an

accessory at your nearest engine dealer.

Safe Transport

•

NEVER tow the log splitter behind a vehicle as the wheels and log splitter orientation are incompatible with towing. Attempting to tow the log

splitter may damage or destroy the wheels or other parts of the log splitter.

• TO SAFELY TRANSPORT THE LOG SPLITTER SECURE IT ON TOP OF A TRAILER OR OTHER TRANSPORTING VEHICLE.

• NEVER move the log splitter over hilly or uneven terrain without the proper vehicle and adequate help for safe movement.

• NEVER exceed the weight capacity of hitch or load limits of the transporting vehicle.

• ALWAYS use caution when transporting the log splitter and check carefully that the log splitter is securely attached to the transporting vehicle.

• ALWAYS confirm hitch accessory tightness before and after transporting the log splitter.

• ALWAYS disconnect the log splitter from the carrying vehicle before operating.

• ALWAYS check for and replace a damaged hitch.

• ALWAYS turn the fuel shut off valve on the engine to the “OFF” position before transporting the log splitter. Failure to turn off the engine before

transport can flood the engine and damage the engine.

STEP 7: Add Engine Oil

1. Make sure the log splitter is on a flat, level surface.

2. Remove the oil fill cap/dipstick before adding the engine oil.

3. Add the correct amount of engine oil (SAE10W-30) and replace the oil fill cap/dipstick.

4. Check the engine oil level daily and add more engine oil to maintain proper levels as needed.

NOTE: During the break-in period, engine may use oil quickly so check the engine oil level often.

CAUTION! DO NOT attempt to crank or start the engine before properly filling with the recommended

type and amount of engine oil. Failure to follow instructions regarding engine oil may damage or destroy

the log splitter and will void the log splitter’s warranty.

STEP 8: Add Gasoline to the Engine

1. Use only clean, fresh, regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum 87 octane rating.

2. DO NOT mix oil with gasoline.

3. Remove the fuel cap and slowly add gasoline to the tank. DO NOT overfill the tank and always allow

approximately ¼ inch of space for fuel expansion.

4. Screw on the fuel cap and wipe away any spilled gasoline.

DANGER! Log splitter engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a colourless, odourless, poison gas.

Breathing carbon monoxide will cause nausea, dizziness, fainting or death. If you start to feel dizzy or

weak, get to fresh air immediately. Only operate the log splitter outdoors and in a well-ventilated area.

DO NOT operate the log splitter inside any building, enclosure, or compartment. DO NOT allow exhaust

fumes to enter a confined area through windows, doors, vents, or other openings. DANGER CARBON

MONOXIDE, using a log splitter indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES.

CAUTION! Fuel and fuel vapours are highly flammable and extremely explosive. Gasoline fires and

explosions may cause severe burns, bodily injury, or death. Unintentional startup may result in

entanglement, traumatic amputation or laceration. Only use regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum

87 octane rating. DO NOT mix oil and gasoline together. Fill tank approximately ¼” below the top of the

tank to allow for fuel expansion. DO NOT fill fuel tank indoors or when the engine is running or hot. DO

NOT light cigarettes or smoke when filling the fuel tank or operating the log splitter.

STEP 9: Add the Hydraulic Oil

1. The log splitter needs to be on a flat, level surface before adding the hydraulic oil.

2. Remove the oil bolt (#20) from the oil filler.

3. Add 5L of hydraulic oil. AW32, AW46 and universal hydraulic oil are all acceptable types of hydraulic oil for

the log splitter. Automatic transmission fluid should be used when operating in temperatures below 32

degrees (all units are tested and have excess oil in the ram).

4. Check the hydraulic oil level.

5. After adding the hydraulic oil, there will be some gas in the clear oil pipe that cannot be discharged. It is

necessary to tilt the beam to exhaust the gas in the clear oil pipe. Tilt the beam several times, then the gas in

the clear oil pipe should be exhausted.

6. Start the engine and use the control lever to extend and retract the wedge several times to remove air from

the lines.

7. With the wedge retracted, check the hydraulic oil level again and add additional hydraulic oil if necessary.

WARNING! DO NOT remove the hydraulic oil fill cap when the engine is running or hot. Hot oil can

escape and cause severe burns. Always allow the log splitter to cool completely before removing the

hydraulic oil cap.

High fluid pressure and very hot temperatures are created in the hydraulic log splitters. Hydraulic fluid

can escape through a pin-size hole opening, producing enough force to puncture skin and cause severe

blood poisoning.

Inspect the hydraulic system regularly for possible leaks. Never check for leaks with your hand while the

system is pressurized. Seek medical attention immediately if injured by escaping hydraulic fluid.

Make sure all fittings are tight and secure before applying pressure. Release all system pressure before

servicing the log splitter.

Make sure the hydraulic hoses do not touch any hot surfaces or cutting areas. Hoses need to be

positioned where they are clear from the engine and the cutting wedge. To avoid serious bodily injury

always inspect the hoses before operating the log splitter.

Maintenance and Storage

CAUTION! Improper maintenance and storage of the log splitter may void your warranty.

Servicing Your Engine

The Importance of Maintenance

Good maintenance is essential for safe, economical and trouble- free operation. It will also help reduce pollution.

WARNING! Improper maintenance, or failure to correct a problem before operation, can cause a

malfunction in which you can be seriously hurt or killed. Always follow the inspection and maintenance

recommendations and schedules in this owner’s manual.

To help you properly care for your engine, the following pages include a maintenance schedule, routine

inspection procedures, and simple maintenance procedures using basic hand tools. Other service tasks that are

more difficult, or require special tools, are best handled by professionals, and are normally performed by a

technician or other qualified mechanic.

The maintenance schedule applies to normal operating conditions. If you operate your engine under severe

conditions, such as sustained high-load or high-temperature operation, or use in unusually wet or dusty

conditions, consult your servicing dealer for recommendations applicable to your individual needs and use.

Maintenance Safety

Some of the most important safety precautions follow. However, we cannot warn you of every conceivable

hazard that can arise in performing maintenance. Only you can decide whether or not you should perform a

given task.

WARNING! Failure to properly follow maintenance instructions and precautions can cause you to be

seriously hurt or killed. Always follow the procedures and precautions in this owner’s manual.

Safety Precautions

•

Make sure the engine is off before you begin any maintenance or repairs. This will eliminate several potential

hazards:

− Carbon monoxide poisoning from engine exhaust.

Be sure there is adequate ventilation whenever you operate the engine.

− Burns from hot parts.

Let the engine and exhaust system cool before touching.

− Injury from moving parts.

Do not run the engine unless instructed to do so.

•

Read the instructions before you begin, and make sure you have the tools and skills required.

•

To reduce the possibility of fire or explosion, be careful when working around gasoline. Use only a non-

flammable solvent, not gasoline, to clean parts. Keep cigarettes, sparks, and flames away from all fuel

related parts.

Remember that your servicing dealer knows your engine best and is fully equipped to maintain and repair it.

To ensure the best quality and reliability, use only new genuine parts or their equivalents for repair and

replacement.

Hercules HPS400 Log Splitter

Refuelling Your Engine

Recommended Fuel

•

Research octane rating 91 or higher

•

Pump octane rating 86 or higher

This engine is certified to operate on unleaded gasoline. Unleaded gasoline produces fewer engine and spark

plug deposits and extends exhaust system life.

WARNING! Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive, and you can be burned or seriously injured

when refuelling. Stop engine and keep heat, sparks, and flame away. Refuel only outdoors. Wipe up

spills immediately.

NOTE: Fuel can damage paint and some types of plastic. Be careful not to spill fuel when filling your fuel

tank. Damage caused by spilled fuel is not covered under Warranty. Never use stale or contaminated

gasoline or oil/gasoline mixture. Avoid getting dirt or water in the fuel tank. Occasionally you may hear a

light ‘‘spark knock’’ or ‘‘pinging’’ (metallic rapping noise) while operating under heavy loads. This is no

cause for concern. If spark knock or pinging occurs at a steady engine speed, under normal load,

change brands of gasoline. If spark knock or pinging persists, see an authorized servicing dealer.

Running the engine with persistent spark knock or pinging can cause engine damage. Running the

engine with persistent spark knock or pinging is considered misuse, and the Distributor’s Limited

Warranty does not cover parts damaged by misuse.

1. With the engine stopped and on a level surface, remove the fuel tank cap and check the fuel level. Refill the

tank if the fuel level is low.

2. Add fuel to the bottom of the fuel level limit of the fuel tank. Do not overfill. Wipe up spilled fuel before

starting the engine.

Refuel in a well-ventilated area before starting the engine. If the engine has been running, allow it to cool. Refuel

carefully to avoid spilling fuel. Do not fill the fuel tank completely. Fill tank to approximately 25 mm (1 inch) below

the top of the fuel tank to allow for fuel expansion. It may be necessary to lower the fuel level depending on

operating conditions. After refuelling, tighten the fuel tank cap securely.

Hercules HPS400 Log Splitter

Never refuel the engine inside a building where gasoline fumes may reach flames or sparks. Keep gasoline

away from appliance pilot lights, barbecues, electric appliances, power tools, etc. Spilled fuel is not only a fire

hazard, it causes environmental damage. Wipe up spills immediately.

Engine Oil

Oil is a major factor affecting performance and service life.

Use 4-stroke automotive detergent oil.

Recommended Oil

•

Use 4-stroke motor oil that meets or exceeds the

requirements for API service classification SJ, SL, or

equivalent. Always check the API service label on the oil

container to be sure it includes the letters SJ, SL, or

equivalent.

•

SAE 10W-30 is recommended for general use. Other

viscosities shown in the chart may be used when the

average temperature in your area is within the indicated

Oil Level Check

Check the engine oil level with the engine stopped and in a level position.

1. Remove the oil filler cap/dipstick and wipe it clean.

2. Insert the oil filler cap/dipstick into the oil filler neck as shown, but do not screw it in, then remove it to check

the oil level.

3. If the oil level is near or below the lower limit mark on the dipstick, fill with the recommended oil to the upper

limit mark (bottom edge of the oil fill hole). Do not overfill.

4. Reinstall the oil filler cap/dipstick.

NOTE: Running the engine with a low oil level can cause engine damage. The Oil Alert system

(applicable types) will automatically stop the engine before the oil level falls below the safe limit.

However, to avoid the inconvenience of an unexpected shutdown, always check the engine oil level

before startup.

Oil Change

Drain the used oil when the engine is warm. Warm oil drains quickly and completely.

1. Place a suitable container below the engine to catch the used oil, then remove the oil filler cap/dipstick, oil

drain plug, and washer.

2. Allow the used oil to drain completely, then reinstall the oil drain plug and new washer, and tighten the oil

drain plug securely.

Please dispose of used motor oil in a manner that is compatible with the environment. We suggest you take

used oil in a sealed container to your local recycling centre or service station for reclamation. Do not throw it

in the trash, pour it on the ground, or down a drain.

3. With the engine in a level position, fill to the upper limit mark (bottom edge of the oil fill hole) on the dipstick

with the recommended oil.

NOTE: Running the engine with a low oil level can cause engine damage. The Oil Alert

®

system

(applicable types) will automatically stop the engine before the oil level falls below the safe limit.

However, to avoid the inconvenience of an unexpected shutdown, fill to the upper limit, and check

the oil level regularly.

4. Install the oil filler cap/dipstick and tighten securely.

Air Cleaner

A dirty air cleaner will restrict air flow to the carburettor, reducing engine performance. If you operate the engine

in very dusty areas, clean the air filter more often than specified in the Maintenance Schedule.

Operating the engine without an air filter, or with a damaged air filter, will allow dirt to enter the engine, causing

rapid engine wear. This type of damage is not covered by the Distributor’s Limited Warranty.

Inspection

•

Remove the air cleaner cover and inspect the filter elements. Clean or replace dirty filter elements.

•

Always replace damaged filter elements. If equipped with an oil-bath air cleaner, also check the oil level.

Cleaning Dual-Filter-Element Types

1. Remove the wing nut from the air cleaner cover and remove the

cover.

2. Remove the wing nut from the air filter and remove the filter.

3. Remove the foam filter from the paper filter.

4. Inspect both air filter elements and replace them if they are

damaged. Always replace the paper air filter element at the

scheduled interval.

5. Clean the air filter elements if they are to be reused. Paper air filter

element: Tap the filter element several times on a hard surface to

remove dirt or blow compressed air [not exceeding 207 kPa (2.1

kgf/cm, 30 psi)] through the filter element from the inside.

Never try to brush off dirt; brushing will force dirt into the fibres.

Foam air filter element: Clean in warm soapy water, rinse, and allow

to dry thoroughly. Or clean in non-flammable solvent and allow to

dry. Dip the filter element in clean engine oil, then squeeze out all

excess oil. The engine will smoke when started if too much oil is left

in the foam.

6. Wipe dirt from the inside of the air cleaner case and cover, using a moist rag. Be careful to prevent dirt from

entering the air duct that leads to the carburettor.

7. Place the foam air filter element over the paper element and reinstall the assembled air filter. Be sure the

gasket is in place beneath the air filter. Tighten the air filter wing nut securely.

8. Install the air cleaner cover and tighten the wing nut securely.

Oil-Bath Type

1. Remove the wing nut and remove the air cleaner cap and cover.

2. Remove the air filter element from the cover. Wash the cover and filter element in warm soapy water, rinse

and allow to dry thoroughly. Or clean in non-flammable solvent and allow to dry.

3. Dip the filter element in clean engine oil, then squeeze out all excess oil. The engine will smoke if too much

oil is left in the foam.

4. Empty the used oil from the air cleaner case, wash out any accumulated dirt with non-flammable solvent,

and dry the case.

5. Fill the air cleaner case to the OIL LEVEL mark with the same oil that is recommended for the engine. Oil

capacity: 60 cm (2.0 US oz, 2.1 Imp oz)

6. Reassemble the air cleaner and tighten the wing nut securely.

Cleaning

WARNING! Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive, and you can be burned or seriously injured

when handling fuel. Stop engine and keep heat, sparks, and flame away. Handle fuel only outdoors. Wipe

up spills immediately.

1. Move the fuel valve to the OFF position, then remove the fuel sediment cup and O-ring.

2. Wash the sediment cup and O-ring in nonflammable solvent and dry them thoroughly.

3. Place the O-ring in the fuel valve and install the sediment cup. Tighten the sediment cup securely.

4. Move the fuel valve to the ON position, and check for leaks. Replace the O-ring if there is any leakage.

Spark Plug

Recommended Spark Plugs: F7TC.F7RTC or other

equivalents

The recommended spark plug is the correct heat range for normal

engine operating temperatures.

NOTE: An incorrect spark plug can cause engine damage.
