SAFETY
General Safety Rules
GAS LOG SPLITTER
5
GB
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the engine’s
switch is off before transporting the machine
or performing any maintenance or service
on the unit. Transporting or performing
maintenance or service on a machine with its
switch on invites accidents.
If the machine should start to vibrate
abnormally, stop the engine (motor) and
check immediately for the cause. Vibration is
generally a warning sign of trouble.
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 it 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.
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.
GAS LOG SPLITTER

GB
Preparation Of The Log
Both ends of the log should be cut as square
as possible to prevent the log from rotating
out of the splitter during operation.
Never split logs greater than the specified log
capacity.
Do not operate the log splitter on icy, wet,
muddy, or slippery ground. Only operate your
log splitter on level ground.
Do not move the log splitter over hilly or
uneven terrain without a tow vehicle or
adequate help.
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.
Specific Safety Rules
Operating on a slope could cause
the log splitter to roll over or logs to
fall off the equipment, which could
result in injury.
Many accidents occur when more
than one person operates the log
splitter.
The adult who loads and stabilizes
the log must be the person who
operates the control handle.
Keep the work area free of clutter. Remove
split wood from around the log splitter
immediately after each use to avoid potential
tripping.
Operator Zone
This unit is designed to be operated by one
person located in the operator zone as shown
in the following diagrams.
Operate the unit only when standing in the
operator zone.
Always stop the unit and allow moving parts
to stop before leaving operation zone. Do not
leave a running unit unattended.

Operation
Many accidents occur when more
than one person operates the log
splitter.
If a helper is assisting in loading
logs to be split, never operate the
controls until the helper is clear of
the area.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT OVERFILL!
This equipment and/or its engine
may include evaporative emissions
control system components,
required to meet EPA and/or CARB
regulations, that will only function
properly when the fuel tank has been
filled to the recommended level.
Overfilling may cause permanent
damage to evaporative emissions
control system components. Filling
to the recommended level ensures
a vapor gap required to allow for
fuel expansion. Pay close attention
while filling the fuel tank to ensure
that the recommended fuel level
inside the tank is not exceeded. Use
a portable gasoline container with an
appropriately sized dispensing spout
when filling the tank. Do not use a
funnel or other device that obstructs
the view of the tank filling process.
Always check oil level before
starting the engine and keep level
full.
The hydraulic reservoir should be
filled with hydraulic fluid before
starting or operation.
Your unit maybe has been filled at
the factory with AW22 hydraulic oil.
Check oil level before using.
Gasoline is highly flammable and
explosive. You can be burned or
seriously injured when handling fuel.
Use extreme care when handling
gasoline.
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.
Fill the fuel tank outdoors, never
indoors. Gasoline vapors can ignite
if they collect inside an enclosure.
Explosion can result.
DO NOT OVERFILL. Check engine
oil level daily and add as needed.

Freeing a Jammed Log
Retract the log pusher by pulling back on the
control valve lever. After the log pusher moves
back and completely stops at its starting position,
place a short square cut log against the jammed
log.
Start the log splitter to let the short log push
the jammed one through the wedge.
Neutral Position
Forward Position
Reverse Position
Before engaging the control lever,
please ensure that you are standing in
the proper location.
DO NOT place the other hand on the
log while the log pusher is traveling
towards the wedge. NEVER touch the
log while hydraulics are engaged.
Never force the log splitter for more
than 5 seconds by keeping pressure
on it to split excessively hard wood.
Cracks in logs can close quickly and
pinch fingers. Keep fingers away from
any cracks that open in partially split
logs.
Do not try to knock the jammed log
off. Knocking about will damage the
machine or may launch the log and
cause an accident.
1. Block tires and ensure support leg is secure to
prevent unintended movement of the log splitter
during operation.
2. Pull the ring to unlock the moving handle, and
push it downward to prevent the wood from
striking it during splitting.
3. Loosen the hydraulic oil dipstick by two turns to
let air go in and out of the oil tank smoothly. Air
flow through the dipstick should be detectable
while the log splitter is under operation.
4. Place the square cut log onto the beam rails and
slide it against the wedge.
5. Push the control valve lever forward (towards
the wedge) to split the log. Apply constant
pressure to the lever until the wedge completely
splits the wood and cylinder has fully traveled
across the beam rails.
6. Pull back on the lever to retract the log pusher.
Once the detent is engaged, the lever will lock in
the retract position until it automatically returns
to its starting position.
7. Make sure to tighten the dipstick before moving
the machine after completing the work to avoid
oil leakage from the fill neck.
8. Lock the moving handle back to upward position
for movement of the machine.
After this time interval, the oil under pressure
will be overheated and the machine could be
damaged. Move the lever in reverse to retract the
cylinder. For such extremely hard log, rotate it by
90° to see whether it can be split in a different
direction. In any case, if you are not able to split
the log, this means that its hardness exceeds the
capacity of the machine and thus that log should
be discarded to protect the log splitter.
GAS LOG SPLITTER

GB
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.
Replace the Hydraulic oil in the log splitter
every 400 hours of use.
1. Place a container under the tank. Make sure
it is large enough to hold the contents of the
tank. See specification section of this manual
for hydraulic oil capacity.
2. Remove the dipstick, and disconnect the
suction hose from bottom of the tank.
3. Drain oil from the tank.
4. After oil has been completely drained from
the machine, reattach the suction hose to the
tank.
5. Refill fresh hydraulic oil..
6. Clean the surface of the Dipstick, use it check
and make sure the level of the refilled oil is just
between the 2 grooves around the dipstick.
7. Start engine and purge air from hydraulic
system. Extend and retract the cylinder to
purge air from the hydraulic system. Cylinder
motion should be smooth and continuous.
8. Tighten the dipstick.

STORAGE
Follow the instructions below for storing your
log splitter between uses.
1. Retract the log pusher 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 log pusher. 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.
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.
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.
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.
