Always keep hands
and
feet away from all pinch points.
Do
not touch parts that might
be
hot from operation. Allow parts
to
cool
before attempting
to
maintain, adjust, or
service.
Stay alert, watch
what
you are doing, and use common sense
when operating the machine.
Do
not
overreach. Do
not
operate
the
machine while barefoot
or
when wearing sandals
or
similar lightweight footwear. Wear
protective
footwear
that
will
protect
your
feet
and improve
your

vibrate
abnormally,
stop
the
engine (motor)
and
check immediately
for
the
cause.
Vibration
is
generally a warning sign
of
trouble.
Safety I 6
ENGINE
SAFETY
This machine
is
equipped
with
an internal combustion engine.
Do
not
use
on
or
near any unimproved, forest covered,
or
brush
covered land unless the exhaust system
is
equipped
with
a spark
arrester meeting applicable local, state,
or
federal laws.
In
the
state
of
California, a spark
arrester
is
required
by law.
Other
states have similar laws. A spark arrester,
if
used, must be
maintained in effective working
order
by the operator.
Never
start
or
run
the
engine inside a closed area. The exhaust
fumes are dangerous, containing carbon monoxide,
an
odorless
and
deadly
gas.
Operate
this
unit
only
in
a
well-ventilated
outdoor area.
Do
not
tamper
with
the engine
to
run
it
at
excessive speeds. The
maximum engine speed is
preset
by
the
manufacturer
and is
within
safety limits.
See
engine manual.
Keep a Class B fire extinguisher on hand when operating this log
splitter in
dry
areas
as
a precautionary measure.
FUEL
SAFETY
Fuel
is
highly flammable, and
its
vapors can explode
if
ignited.
Take precautions
when
using
to
reduce
the
chance
of
serious
personal injury.
When
refilling
or
draining
the
fuel tank, use an approved fuel
storage container while in a clean, well-ventilated
outdoor
area.
Do
not
smoke,
or
allow sparks, open flames,
or
other
sources
of
ignition
near
the
area
while
adding fuel
or
operating
the
unit.
Never fill the fuel tank indoors.
Keep grounded
conductive
objects, such
as
tools, away
from
exposed, live electrical parts and connections
to
avoid sparking
or
arcing. These events could ignite fumes
or
vapors.
Always stop
the
engine and allow
it
to
cool before filling the fuel
tank. Never remove
the
cap
of
the fuel tank
or
add fuel while the
engine
is
running
or
when
the
engine
is
hot. Do
not
operate
the
machine
with
known leaks in the fuel system.
Loosen
the fuel tank
cap
slowly
to
relieve any pressure in the tank.
Never overfill
the
fuel tank. Fill
the
tank
to
no more than
1/2"
below the bottom
of
the filler neck
to
provide space
for
expansion
as
the
heat
of
the
engine
can
cause fuel
to
expand.
Replace
all fuel tank
and
container
caps
securely
and
wipe up spilled
fuel. Never operate the unit
without
the fuel
cap
securely in
place.
7 I Safety
Avoid creating a source
of
ignition
for
spilled fuel.
If
fuel
is
spilled,
do
not
attempt
to
start
the
engine
but
move
the
machine away
from
the area
of
spillage and avoid creating any source
of
ignition
until fuel vapors have dissipated.
When fuel
is
spilled on yourself
or
your
clothes, wash
your
skin
and change clothes immediately.
Store fuel in containers specifically designed and approved
for
this purpose.
Store fuel in a cool, well-ventilated area, safely away from sparks,
open flames,
or
other
sources
of
ignition.
Never
store
fuel
or
a machine
with
fuel
in
the
tank
inside a
building where fumes may reach a spark, open flame,
or
any
other
source
of
ignition,
such
as
a
water
heater, furnace,
or
clothes
dryer.
Allow
the engine
to
cool before storing in any enclosure.
HYDRAULIC
SYSTEM
SAFETY
The hydraulic system
of
the
machine requires careful inspection
along
with
the mechanical parts.
Be
sure
to
replace frayed, kinked,
cracked,
or
otherwise
damaged
hydraulic
hoses
or
hydraulic
components.
Hydraulic fluid
can
result in severe burns. Fluid in
the
hydraulic
system can penetrate skin and result in serious
injury
or
death.
Be
sure
to
stop the engine and relieve hydraulic pressure before
doing any
work
on hydraulic parts.
Keep body and hands away
from
pin holes
or
nozzles
that
expel
hydraulic fluid when under pressure.
Use
paper
or
cardboard,
not
hands,
to
search
for
leaks.
Ensure all hydraulic fluid connections are
tight
and all hydraulic
hoses and lines are in good condition before applying pressure
to
the system.
Do
not
remove the cap from the hydraulic tank
or
reservoir while
the
machine
is
running. The
tank
could
contain
hot
oil
under
pressure, which could result in serious injury.
Do
not
adjust
the
pressure
setting
on
the
hydraulic
pump
or
valve.
If
injured by escaping fluid, no
matter
how
small the wound
is,
see
a doctor at once. A typical injection injury may
be
a small wound
that
does
not
look serious. However, severe infection
or
reaction
can
result
if
proper
medical
treatment
is
not
administered
immediately by a doctor
who
is
familiar
with
injection injuries.

MAINTENANCE
Inspect and maintain
the
log splitter before each
use.
If
the
log
splitter
has
been
used
previously,
it
must
be
inspected and
maintained before each subsequent
use.
Always shut
off
the engine and relieve system pressure before
inspecting, cleaning, adjusting,
or
repairing
the
splitter. Relieve
system pressure by moving
the
split control lever back and
forth
several times.
Remove debris from the engine, muffler, and moving parts. Debris
on a
hot
engine
can
be a fire hazard. Clean debris
and
chaff from the
engine cylinder
head,
cylinder head fins, blower housing rotating
screen, and muffler
areas.
& Avoid contact with hot
muffler.
Debris
on
moving
parts
can
cause
excess
wear.
Clear
debris
from
the
slide
beam,
wedge,
and
end
plate.
OIL DRAINING
Use a drain pan
to
aid in the removal
of
all
used
oil and particles.
Remove oil drain plug
to
drain oil from the hydraulic transmission
system. Examine oil
for
metal chips
as
a precaution
to
future
problems.
After
oil
has
been completely drained from the machine, reinstall
drain plug.

is
on a flat, level surface.
2.
Remove
the
oil dipstick from the oil tank.
Never
remove
the hydraulic oil dipstick
when
the
engine
is
running or
hot.
Hot oil
can
escape
causing
severe
burns.
Allow
the
log
splitter
to
cool
completely
before
removing
the
hydraulic oil dipstick.
3.
The recommended hydraulic oil type:
10WAW32
ASLE
H-150

4. Make sure the hydraulic oil level reaches the upper line
of
the dipstick.
~
Completely install the dipstick
when
checking oil
~level.
5.
Start the engine and
use
the control valve handle
to
extend
and retract the wedge five times
to
remove air from the high
pressure lines.
6.
With
the wedge retracted and engine off, check the oil level
again. Fill
if
necessary.
7.

it
has
a constant speed. This
indicates
that
all air
has
been expelled.

STORAGE
Follow the instructions below
for
storing your log
splitter
between
uses.
1.
Retract the wedge completely
to
keep
the
rod protected
from
corrosion.
2.
Allow
the machine
to
cool 5 minutes before storing.
3.
Clear
the
debris
from
the
beam,
wedge, and end plate.
Use
a damp cloth
to
clear exterior surfaces
of
the
engine and log
splitter.
Use
a soft bristle brush
to
remove
excess
dirt
and oil.
Use
an
air compressor (25
PSI)
to
clear
dirt
and small debris.
Wipe
the
beam,
wedge, and all metal parts
with
an
oil rag
to
prevent corrosion.
~
Never
spray
the
engine
or
log
splitter with a
pressure
~
washer.
Water
can
contaminate
the
fuel
system
and
can
enter
the
engine
and
damage
the
engine.
4.
Refer
to
the engine
manual
for proper engine storage instructions.
Gasoline
can
become stale when stored over
30
days.
Stale fuel
can
cause
acid and gum deposits
that
form
in
the
fuel
system
or
on
carburetor
parts.
For
engine
fuel that
is
stored
less
than 30
days,
add
a fuel stabilizer
to
keep
the
fuel
fresh.
Turn
the
fuel
valve
lever
to
the
off position.
If
fuel
is
stored
over
30
days,
then
drain
the
fuel
tank
as
stated
in
the
engine
manual.
YS2565PM02
-1703
Always drain fuel
from
the
tank
in
an
outdoor,
well-
ventilated
area.
~
Stay away
from
sources of heat, flame, or sparks
~
while handling
fuel.
Clean
up
fuel
spills
immediately.
5.
Store
the
log splitter in a location away from corrosive
materials, sources
of
heat, open flames, sparks,
or
pilot lights.
Never store the log splitter inside where there
is
a source
of
heat or
an
open
flame, spark, or pilot
light,
such
as
a water
heater,
space
heater,
furnace,
~
clothes
dryer,
or other
gas
appliance.
EVEN
IF
the
log
~
splitter's
fuel
tank
is
empty,
residual
gasoline
vapors
could
ignite.
Never
store
the
log
splitter
near
fertilizer or
any
other
corrosive
material.
6.
Store gasoline in a cool,
dry
place in a UL listed
tightly
sealed
container.
Gasoline vapors
can
ignite
if
they collect inside
an
enclosure
and
explosion
can
result.
