prevent the pin from falling out. Ensure that the spring-loaded pin (9) engages with the hydraulic ram

assembly to lock it in the horizontal position.

When making the high-pressure hose connections, it is ESSENTIAL that O-rings are

correctly installed and that the connector internals are absolutely clean. • The hydraulic ram

may be supplied pre-filled with oil – be aware that when removing the hose plugs that oil may escape from

the hose.

8. Remove the dust cover from the oil tank "return" hose connector / filter (10), then install a 17mm O-ring

(T) to the connector. Remove the plastic sealing plug from the "return" hose (11) connector (hose with

90° elbow at the end). Note that there may be an O-ring behind the plug – do not make a connection

using 2 O-rings. Connect the hose to the oil tank connector and firmly secure it. Ensure that the hose is

routed as shown – this will prevent the hose being stressed when the hydraulic ram is used in the

vertical position.

Engine Oil

Four-stroke engines require engine oil in the crankcase for lubrication of internal components. Severe or

irreparable damage may occur if the engine is allowed to run without engine oil. The engine oil level requires

regular maintenance. Check the engine oil level and ensure that the oil level is at or just under the maximum

level indicator.

Always check the engine oil level before starting the engine. See Engine Oil

.

Air Filter

The air filter is used to prevent dirt and other particles from possibly entering the engine and causing internal

damage to it. The air filter requires regular maintenance.

Always check the air filter before starting the engine. See Air Filter

Fuel

Petrol/fuel/gasoline is extremely flammable – keep clear of naked flames or other ignition

sources. • The engine must be cool before refuelling.

Adequately fill the fuel tank with the correct fuel type.

• For petrol engines, use non-ethanol unleaded petrol (higher RON values will provide best engine

performance). Do not use old or contaminated fuel.

• For diesel engines, use commercial non-bio diesel fuel. Do not use old or contaminated fuel.

To fill or top up fuel:

1. Place the machine on a flat and level surface.

2. Clean the machine around the fuel filler so that no dirt or other material enters the engine when the cap

is removed.

3. Remove (rotate left) the fuel filler cap.

4. Using a funnel, carefully fill the tank with fuel. Do not fill above the top of the strainer (if equipped) or

otherwise overfill the tank.

5. When finished, reinstall (rotate right) the fuel filler cap until firm. Wipe away any residual fuel from the

machine. If fuel has been spilt, move the pump away from the spillage before starting the engine.

Hydraulic Oil

The hydraulic system requires adequate hydraulic oil of the correct type to operate safely and efficiently. The

machine is shipped without hydraulic oil although some oil may be supplied. Check the hydraulic oil level and

ensure that it is at the recommended level. See Hydraulic Oil

.

Engine Starting

Before starting the engine, ensure that you have followed all procedures described in the

Before Use Checklist. Failure to follow the checklist and carry out the procedures

correctly may result in making the product warranty void. The product is NOT supplied with engine oil,

although traces of oil from the manufacturing process may be present. It is essential to add adequate engine

oil of the correct type to the engine before use – see Engine Oil. Failure to add engine oil will void the

product warranty.

Different models may feature variations in design; for example, some have different engine types etc. The

following procedures and images are typical to all models, however, the position or appearance of controls

etc may vary. All major engine controls are identified on the machine by way of stickers or other markings.

Starting Petrol Engines

1. FUEL – Place the

fuel tap (A) in the

"ON" position (to

the right).

2. CHOKE – If the

engine is cold,

place the choke (B)

in the "COLD"

position (to the left).

If the engine is

warm or ambient

temperature is high,

place in the "HOT"

position (to the

right).

3. IGNITION – Place

the engine ON/OFF

switch (C) or key

switch (if equipped)

in the "ON" ("I")

position. For key

switches, the "OFF"

position allows the key to be

removed. The "ON" position is

reached when the key is rotated to

the right from the "OFF" position.

4. THROTTLE – Place the throttle control

(D) just off the "SLOW" position.

5. START – Slowly pull out the starter cord (E) until you feel it engage with the engine, then pull it out

rapidly (use both hands if necessary). The engine should start. Allow the starter cord to rewind slowly –

do not let it "snap" back.

6. WARM-UP – Allow the engine to warm-up and run smoothly. If choke is being applied, place the choke

(B) in the "HOT" position.

7. THROTTLE – Adjust the throttle control (D) for the required engine speed.

If the engine does not start, repeat step 5 onward. If the engine fails to

start after several attempts, refer to Troubleshooting

Environmental Considerations

Altitude – If the engine is being used in altitudes at or above 1500m (approximately 5000'), adjustments to

the fuel system may be required. This is because there is less oxygen in the air as altitude increases, which

effectively "enriches" the ratio of fuel to air going into the engine, and the higher the altitude, the richer the

fuel mixture becomes. If the engine is being permanently operated at high altitude, it is recommended to

have an authorised service centre make the necessary fuel system adjustments. If the engine is used

occasionally at altitude (not extreme altitudes), no adjustments should be required, however, a slight

decrease in engine performance can be expected.

Temperature – If the engine is being used in extremely cold or hot

environments; for example, desert or snow conditions, the type of

engine oil may need to be changed to suit environmental

temperatures. Oil thickens as the temperature decreases and thins as

temperature increases, which means that if the engine oil is not suited

to the temperature its ability to properly lubricate the engine may be

affected. Use the following chart to determine the correct engine oil:

Log Splitter Operation

The machine must be operated by one person only. Do not allow helpers or bystanders

within 30m (90') of the machine. Bystanders should wear eye protection. • Make sure there

are no nails or foreign objects in logs to be split. • Log ends must be cut square. • Branches must be cut off

flush with the trunk. • Always split logs in the direction of the wood grain. • Do not load or unload logs whilst

the ram is moving. • Crush / amputation hazard - keep hands away from moving parts and from splits/cracks

that open in logs. • Do not remove jammed logs by hand. • Ensure that when initially retracting the ram that

the timber has split and is separated from the wedge. If timber becomes jammed on the wedge and

moves up when retracting the ram, do NOT fully retract the ram as this may cause injury and/or

damage the machine. Remove the timber from the wedge before fully retracting the ram. • Do not

change the machine set-up between vertical and horizontal when the machine is running or timber is loaded

into the machine. • Ensure that the hydraulic ram assembly is locked into position before using the machine.

• Before use, check the hydraulic oil level with the ram in the fully retracted position. • Make sure all fittings

are secure before applying pressure. • Make sure the hydraulic hoses do not touch any hot surfaces or are in

or near the splitting area. • To avoid serious bodily injury, inspect the hydraulic system (hoses, fittings and

connections, and hydraulic pump) before operating the machine. Very high fluid pressure and temperatures

are created in the hydraulic system. Hydraulic fluid will escape through the smallest opening and can

puncture skin and cause severe injury and blood poisoning. Never check for leaks with your hands or any

other body part while the hydraulic system is pressurised – use a piece of wood or other hard

material that any leak will be visible on. Seek medical attention immediately if injured by hydraulic

fluid. • The hydraulic oil needs to be above -12°C (10°F) before starting the engine. Cold hydraulic oil can

damage the hydraulic pump. If the air temperature is below 0°C (32°F), allow the oil to warm up by extending

and returning the wedge several times before splitting wood.

Note that once the engine is running, the hydraulic pumping action of the machine activates. When the

engine is idling (slowest continuous running speed), the hydraulic pressure is minimal. As you increase

engine speed (use the engine throttle control), the hydraulic pressure increases. Note the following

recommendations:

• Operate the engine at a sufficient speed to provide the desired hydraulic pressure. This may vary on the

size of the timber and species etc.

• Set-up and operate the machine on a dry and level surfaces with good footing. Do not work on mud,

loose, or slippery ground surfaces, and chock the wheels before use.

• Lower the support leg (if equipped) from the towing arm position:

1. Unlock the support leg (AA) from the towing position by removing the

locking pin (BB).

2. Swing the leg down to the low position, then secure it with the locking pin.

• Maintain a clearance of at least 2.5m (7') around the machine at all times to

any combustible material.

• For suitable wood types, use the 4-way splitting wedge (CC) (if

equipped). To attach, place it over the standard wedge (DD), then

secure it using the winged bolt (EE) (tighten by hand only).

Splitting Logs

1. Place the log on the slide/work table (A), with one end up against the non-

moving part – that is, log stop (1A) or wedge (1B).

2. Operate the hydraulic ram using the ram control lever (2). Move the lever

in the direction of the log stop and hold it there for the hydraulic ram/wedge to push the forward.

3. Push the wedge into the log until it splits, then release the lever.

4. When the wedge is free from the log, move the ram control lever in the reverse direction to retract the

ram/wedge.

Ensure that when initially retracting the ram that the timber has split and is separated from

the wedge. If timber becomes jammed on the wedge and moves up when retracting

the ram, do NOT fully retract the ram as this may cause injury and/or damage the machine. Remove

the timber from the wedge before fully retracting the ram. • If the log is not splitting, do NOT keep

pressure against the log for more than 5 seconds. This places additional stresses on the machine and may

damage it or the hydraulic system. In such cases rotate the log 90° and attempt to split it again. If this is not

successful, the log may be too hard for the capacity of the machine and should be discarded

Working with Logs

• Always set logs firmly on the slide / work table.

• Ensure that logs will not twist, rock or slip while being split.

• Ensure that logs have good contact with the splitting wedge. Splitting

against the top of the wedge may break the wedge or otherwise damage

the machine. Use the adjacent diagram for the safest method of splitting

logs with slanted faces

Extracting Jammed Logs

• Release pushing pressure against the log. Do NOT fully retract the

ram/wedge.

• Insert a wooden wedge under the log at the log stop, narrow edge under

the end of the log.

• Use the log splitter to push the log over the wedge to release it. Various

sized wedges may need to be tried. A crowbar can also be used to lever

the log from the wedge. Do not strike the jammed log to free as this may

damage the machine or launch the log.

Setting-Up the Machine in the Vertical / Horizontal Position

Some model machines can be used in the horizontal or vertical position for splitting. The vertical set-up is

generally better suited to larger pieces of timber. To use the vertical set-up:

1. Secure the machine in the work position with the wheels chocked.

2. Pull out and hold the spring-loaded release pin (A).

3. Whilst the release pin is in the unlocked position, use the

handles to lift the top of the hydraulic ram assembly and rotate it

until it is in the vertical position.

To revert to the horizontal position, use

the handles to gently lower the

hydraulic ram assembly, pull out and

hold the spring-loaded release pin so

that the ram assembly fully lowers,

then release the pin. Ensure the ram

assembly is held securely before

proceeding.

Towing

Before towing, ensure the axle nuts are tight and the axle nut split pins and securely in

place. • Ensure that the tyres are inflated to the pressure marked on the tyre wall. • Do not

tow if the tyres are worn, damaged or do not hold air pressure. • Do not tow the machine in the vertical

position. Ensure that the hydraulic ram assembly is locked in the horizontal position before towing. • Do not

carry passengers, or allow any person to sit or stand on the machine. • Always fully secure the machine to

the towing vehicle hitch before towing. • Use caution when towing. Tow with an appropriate vehicle, and

avoid slopes, ditches etc. Refer to the towing vehicle owner's manual for correct safety and towing

instructions. • Do NOT tow on public roads.

Maintenance

Running combustion engines in confined areas CAN KILL IN MINUTES. Engine exhaust

fumes contain carbon-monoxide – a deadly gas that you cannot smell or see. NEVER run

a combustion engine in confined areas EVEN IF windows and doors are open. ONLY run

combustion engines OUTDOORS and away from doors, windows and vents. • Petrol / fuel

/ gasoline is extremely flammable – keep clear of naked flames or other ignition sources. •

Do not have the engine running during inspection and maintenance unless specifically required. • The engine

should be cool enough to touch before performing maintenance activities. • Some maintenance activities

may be beyond the scope of some users. Do NOT attempt procedures that you are not comfortable with, or

do not have the necessary tools, experience or knowledge for – take the unit to an authorised service centre

or qualified technician for servicing. • Harsh operating environments such as extreme temperatures, dust etc

may necessitate more frequent maintenance. • Failure to follow the maintenance schedule, using

incorrect or non-compatible accessories or replacements parts, or general negligence may result in

making the product warranty void.

To keep the machine performing at optimal efficiency, regular checks and maintenance is required. The

maintenance schedule below specifies preventative maintenance checks and necessary maintenance tasks

and how often they should be performed. The schedule applies to multiple engines; some engines may not

include some components, so maintenance on those components is not applicable.

Maintenance Schedule

Use the following maintenance schedule for a list of regular maintenance tasks and how often they need to

be performed. Maintenance frequency is based on average usage. Be aware of how much the machine is

used and be sure to follow the schedule according to time or usage, whichever comes first.

Towards the end of this document is a form you can use for maintenance record keeping. It is recommended

that you keep a reference of all maintenance.

Major Servicing and "Heavy-Duty" Usage - For engines that are subject to "heavy-duty" use,

which can be defined as being used under loads of 85% or more and / or in use more than

approximately 300 hours per year (for example, generators and water pumps), more frequent "Major

Service" maintenance is required. In addition to normal service requirements, and as with many smaller

machine and off-road bike engines, the following parts (as applicable for petrol, diesel or 2-stroke engines)

may require replacement during a major service:

• Piston rings.

• Big-end bearings.

• Small-end bearings.

• Gudgeon pin.

• Oil rings.

• Gaskets and seals.

• Valve seats.

Inspection of the following items is required:

• Piston for cracks and stress fractures.

• Bore for wear requiring reconditioning.

• Full machine for broken, worn or loose parts.

Failure to follow the maintenance schedule, using incorrect or non-compatible accessories or

replacements parts, or general negligence may result in making the product warranty void.

Hydraulic System

Very high fluid pressure and temperatures are created in the hydraulic system. Hydraulic

fluid will escape through the smallest opening and can puncture skin and cause severe

injury and blood poisoning. Never check for leaks with your hands or any other body part while the

hydraulic system is pressurised – use a piece of wood or other hard material that any leak will be

visible on. Seek medical attention immediately if injured by hydraulic fluid. • Before performing any

maintenance, relieve any hydraulic pressure – with the engine OFF, use the ram control lever to move the

ram forward and back until it no longer moves (the pressure is released). • If any hydraulic system

components are damaged or show signs of wear, replace them before using the machine. Do NOT remove

the hydraulic oil fill cap when the system is pressurised, the engine is running or the oil is hot. • Always check

the oil level before using the machine and ensure it is at or close to the recommended level. • Oil should be

replaced approximately every 200 hours of machine use or if it has a milky or cloudy appearance, which

indicates that it has absorbed considerable moisture. Before changing oil, ensure that it is cool enough to not

cause burns. • Suitable hydraulic oil is 10W AW-32, ASLE H-150, or ISO 32. • Before first use, add and

hydraulic oil and double-check oil level.

• Before each use, check all hydraulic hoses, connections and

fittings for signs of wear or damage or leaks. Ensure all hydraulc

connections and fittings are secure.

• Lubricate the hydraulic ram slide (A) and edges with grease before

each use and ensure it is clean and free of debris after each use.

Checking and Changing Hydraulic Oil – HDS800 /

HPS800

Check oil temperature from the sight glass at the rear of the hydraulic oil tank – the temperature is

indicated by the height of the red mercury column with regard to the scales on the glass.

To check hydraulic oil level:

1. Place the machine on a flat and level surface.

2. View the oil level using the oil sight glass on the back of the hydraulic oil tank. Note

that the scale on the sight glass refers to oil temperature, not level.

3. Ensure that the oil level is at approximately 70 to 80% full. If the oil level is low, add

additional oil until the correct level is reached. If the oil level is too high, drain some

oil until the correct level is reached.

To change the hydraulic oil:

1. Place the machine on a suitable surface that is flat and level and have a container

ready to catch drained oil.

2. Unscrew (rotate left) and remove the drain plug (A) and washer from the underside

of the hydraulic oil tank.

3. When all oil is drained, clean the drain plug and washer and then reinstall them.

Screw in fully (rotate right) and firmly tighten.

4. Remove (rotate left) the oil filler cap (B)

from the top of the hydraulic oil tank.

5. Using a funnel, carefully add oil to the

hydraulic oil tank until the recommended

level is reached (approximately 20 litres).

Double- check the oil level.

6. When finished, re-install (rotate right) the

oil filler cap until firm. Wipe off any

residual oil from the machine.

7. Start the engine and extend and retract the ram several times to remove any air from the hoses.

Engine Oil

Engines are NOT supplied with engine oil, although traces of oil from the manufacturing

process may be present. It is essential to add adequate engine oil of the correct type to the

engine before use. Failure to add engine oil will void the product warranty. • Always check engine oil

level when the machine is in an upright position on a flat and level surface. • Do not use used or

contaminated engine oils. • Use only engine oils of the correct type (see Specifications). • Perform the first oil

change within the first 20 hours of use. Subsequently, change the oil every 20 hours of use. • It is

recommended that the engine be warm, but not hot, when performing oil changes. When the oil is warm it

drains faster. • Using dirty or incorrect engine oil may cause engine damage and void any warranty • Always

use suitable tools. • Always dispose of used oil in an environmentally responsible manner and according to

regulations. • Some engines feature oil level detection, which will prevent the engine being started or

automatically stop a running engine if there is insufficient oil. • Always check the oil level and ensure is at

or near the "MAX" indicator before using the machine. • Some models may have 2 oil drain plugs and

fillers on either side of the engine – it does not matter which one is used.

4-stroke engines require engine oil in the crankcase for lubrication of internal components. Severe or

irreparable damage may occur if the engine is allowed to run without engine oil. The engine oil level requires

regular maintenance as per the maintenance schedule.

Checking and Changing Engine Oil

To check engine oil level:

1. Place the machine on a flat and level surface.

2. Clean the machine around the oil filler cap (A) so that no dirt or other material enters the engine when

the cap is removed.

3. Remove the oil filler cap (rotate left) until fully unscrewed. For machines without a dipstick, the oil level is

determined by how close the oil is to the edge of the filler hole (B). For machines equipped with an oil

level dipstick:

a. Remove the dipstick (C) and wipe clean with a piece of cloth or paper.

b. Insert the dipstick into the oil filler but do not screw it in.

c. Remove and inspect the dipstick – the oil level is determined by where oil can be seen on it.

4. Ensure that the oil level is at or just under the "maximum". If the oil level is low, add additional oil until the

correct level is reached. If the oil level is too high, drain some oil until the correct level is reached.

5. When finished, re-install (rotate right) the oil filler cap until firm. Wipe off any residual oil from the

machine.

Air Filter

Operating the machine without a functional air filter may cause severe engine damage and will void

any warranty. • A dirty or oil saturated air filter will restrict air flow, which can be mistaken as fuel

system problems. Check the condition of the air filter before adjusting engine idle speed, where applicable. •

If the air filter is damaged (torn, broken, disintegrating), replace it.

The air filter is used to prevent dirt and other particles from possibly entering the engine and causing internal

damage to it. The air filter requires regular maintenance as per the maintenance schedule.

Inspection and Cleaning

Inspect the air filter for dirtiness and debris, damage etc. Clean or replace the filter element as necessary. To

clean air filters:

• For foam filters, wash the filter in warm water and mild detergent, then rinse and allow to dry.

• For paper filters, use compressed air to blow particles from it. The air should be blown from the engine

side of the filter.

• Clean all other air filter assembly components using water and mild detergent, then dry them.

• For foam filters, place a few drops of clean engine oil on the filter then squeeze it a few times to spread

the oil through the filter material and remove any excess oil.

Removal/Installation – Petrol Engines

Spark Plug

If the spark plug is damaged (cracked insulator, broken or eroded electrodes etc), replace it. •

Always use spark plugs of the correct "heat range" - see Specifications. Spark plug maintenance is

not applicable to diesel engines.

The spark plug is used to ignite the air/fuel mixture inside the engine. The spark plug has electrodes on one

end and an electrical terminal on the other. The spark plug requires regular maintenance.

Cleaning and Gap Checking

The spark plug should be checked and cleaned as per the maintenance schedule.

1. Remove any carbon deposits on the spark plug (A) electrodes (B) with a wire

brush.

2. Clean the spark plug threads and the electrical terminal (C) on the top.

To check and adjust the spark plug "gap":

1. Use "feeler" or "thickness" gauges (X) to measure the existing gap. The gauge

must drag a little when being slid between the electrodes (2) – this means the

measurement is fairly accurate.

2. Adjust the gap to within specification (see Specifications

). If the gap needs to be

reduced, gently tap the electrode as required. If the gap needs to be increased,

use pliers to gently pull the electrode as required.

3. Measure the gap again and ensure it is within the specified range before re-i

nstalling the spark plug.

Removal/Installation

1. Pull the electrical lead (B) from the terminal on top of the spark plug (A).

2. Clean the area around the spark plug so that no dirt or other material can enter the engine when the

spark plug is removed.

3. Use the spark plug tool (C) to remove the spark plug (rotate left).

To re-install the spark plug:

1. Place the spark plug in its hole and screw it in (rotate right) until “finger tight”.

2. Use the spark plug tool to tighten the spark plug approximately one quarter turn (do not over-tighten).

3. Place the electrical lead over the spark plug terminal and push it down so that it connects firmly with the

terminal

Troubleshooting

Running combustion engines in confined areas CAN KILL IN MINUTES. Engine exhaust

fumes contain carbon-monoxide – a deadly gas that you cannot smell or see. NEVER run a

combustion engine in confined areas EVEN IF windows and doors are open. ONLY run

combustion engines OUTDOORS and away from doors, windows and vents. •

Petrol/fuel/gasoline is extremely flammable – keep clear of naked flames or other ignition

sources. • The product is NOT supplied with engine oil, although traces of oil from the manufacturing process

may be present. It is essential to add adequate engine oil of the correct type to the engine before use – see

Engine Oil. Failure to add engine oil will void the product warranty. • Do not have the engine running

during inspection and maintenance unless specifically required. • The engine should be cool enough to touch

before performing maintenance activities. • Some maintenance activities may be beyond the scope of some

users. Do NOT attempt procedures that you are not comfortable with, or do not have the necessary tools,

experience or knowledge for – take the unit to an authorised service centre or qualified technician for

servicing.

The following information may assist in identifying a problem and rectifying it.

Difficulty starting the engine.

Possible Fault Action

Lack of fuel Check that there is fuel in the tank and the fuel tap is in the "ON" position. • To further

check if fuel is reaching the carburettor, remove the carburettor drain plug and check if fuel

drains.

Engine "OFF" Ensure engine ON/OFF switch is in the "ON" position.

Carbon build-up on spark plug Remove the spark plug and clean any carbon from the electrodes before re-installing it. Not

applicable to diesel engines.

Spark plug faulty Remove the spark plug, then reconnect the plug lead to it. Place fuel tap in the "OFF"

position and the engine ON/OFF switch in "ON" position. Touch the spark plug electrode to

a part of the engine crankcase, away from the spark plug hole, and attempt to start the

engine – a spark should be visible across the electrodes as the engine is rotated. If no

spark is visible, replace the spark plug. Not applicable to diesel engines.

Engine "flooded" with fuel Place the choke in "HOT" or "RUN" position. Leave the ON/OFF switch in the "OFF"

position. Pull the starter cord several times to assist clearing excess fuel from engine before

attempting to start engine.

Not enough or too much engine oil Check oil level and ensure that the level is at or just below the recommended maximum

level.
