duringforward or reverse stroke.To do so may

resultin crushedor amputatedfingers or toes, or

worse,you may lose an arm or foot.

Do not straddlethe splitterwhen usingit. A slip

in any positioncould resultin a seriousinjury.

Do not step over your logsplitterwhen the

engine is running.You may tripor accidentally activatethe splittingwedge ifyou step over. If you need to get to the otherside, walk around.

Never try to splittwo logson top of each other.

One may fly out and injureyou.

When loadingthe log splitter,place yourhands on the side of the log, not at the ends.Never

attemptto load yoursplitterwhilethe splitting wedge is in motion.You may get caughtby the wedge and injured.

Only use yourhand to operatethe splitting

wedge or controllever.Never use yourfoot or a ropeor any otherextensiondevice.This could

resultin your inability to stopyour splitterquickly

enoughto avoid injury.

Always keep fingers away from any cracksthat openin the logduringsplittingoperation.They

Perform all recommendedmaintenance proceduresbefore you use your splitter.

Do not service or repair your logsplitterwithout

disconnectingthe spark plugwire and movingit

away from the spark plug.

Never storethe equipmentwith gasolinein the tank insideof a buildingwhere ignitionsources

are present, such as hot waterand space heaters, clothesdryers and the like. Allowthe engine to cool beforestodng in any enclosure.

Always store gasolinein an approved,tightly

sealed container.Store the containerin a cool, dry place. Do not store in a buildingwhere ignitionsourcesare present.

To reducefire hazard, keep engine free ofgrass, leaves, wood chips,and excessivegrease and oil.

The hydraulicsystem ofyourlogsplitterrequires

careful inspection,along withthe mechanical

parts. Be sure to replace frayed, kinked,or otherwise damaged hydrauliccomponents.

Fluid escaping from a very small holecan be almost invisible. Do not check for leakswith your hand. Escaping fluid under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate skin, causing

• serious personal injury. Leaks can be located by passing a piece of cardboard or wood over the suspected leak and looking for discoloration.

Should it become necessary to loosen or remove any hydraulic fitting or line, be sure to relieve all pressure by shutting off the engine and moving the control handle back and forth several times.

Do not remove the cap from the hydraulic tank or reservoir while your log splitteris running. Hot oil

under pressure could cause injury.

The pressure relief valve on your splitter is preset at the factory. Do not adjust the valve.

Only a qualified service technician should perform this adjustment.

Completely drain fuel tank prior to storage. This guards against accumulation of fuel fumes

whichcould resultin a fire hazard.

Never store log splitter outside without a waterproof cover. Rain will cause rust on the inside of the cylinder.

Important Information

Always:

Use clean fluid and check fluid level regularly.

Use Dexron III Automatic Transmission Fluid or

10W non-foaming hydraulic fluid.

Use a filter (clean or replace regulady).

Use a breather cap on fluid reservoir.

General Recommendations

Always observe safety ruleswhen performing any maintenance.

The warranty on this log splitter does not cover items that have been subjected to operator abuse or negligence. To receive full value from the warranty, operator must maintain the log splitter as instructed in this manual.

Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to maintain your unit properly.

All adjustments in the Service and Adjustments

sectionof this manual should be checked at least once each season.

Follow the maintenance schedule given above.

Periodically check all fasteners and make sure these are tight.

WARNING: Always stopthe engine and performinganymaintenanceoradjustments.

Splitter Mechanism

Hydraulic Fluid

Check the hydraulic fluidlevel in the logsplitter reservoirtank beforeeach use. Fluidlevelshould be 1.5" to 2" from the top of the tank ( four gallons approximately).

Change the hydraulic fluid in the reservoir every

100 hours of operation.

Disconnect the suction hose from the bottom of the reservoir tank, and drain the fluid into a suitable container.

Refill using only Dexron III automatic transmission fluid or 10W non-foaming hydraulic fluid. Also, make certain to change the hydraulic filter.

NOTE: Drain the fluid and flush the reservoir tank and hoses with kerosene whenever any repair work is performed on the tank, hydraulic pump or valve.

Contaminants in the fluid will damage the hydraulic components. Repairs to hydraulic components should

be performedby a Sears service center.

Hydraulic Filter

Change the hydraulicfilter every 50 hours of

operation.Use onlya 10 micron hydraulic filter.

Hose Clamps
