CONDITIONS WHICH WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY
. Failure to maintain proper fluid level in “eservoir will void your warranty, causing permanent damage to
pump by allowing air to be drawn into punip. Fluid will become foamy. Refer to “Initial Preparation” in the
Operation Section of this manual.
Changing the relief valve setting or pres sure adjustment of control valve without proper knowledge and
instruction from the factory will void your warranty. A very minor adjustment could destroy the structural and
safety limits for which the unit was desigr ed. The system will produce more power than the structure will
withstand. Higher pressure could cause Че hoses to burst, cylinder to rupture and intense fluid releases,
which could result in serious personal inju ry.
Disassembling the pump will void your waranty. If replacment is necessary, merely disconnect and replace.
Do not attempt to adjust pump settings, as they are adjusted by the manufacturer at the factory.
Use of incorrect hydraulic fluid will void jour warranty. Use only Dexron Il automatic transmission fluid or
10W non-foaming hydraulic fluid.
The flexible pump coupler must be inspacted regularly. Allowing the coupler to deteriorate will void your
warranty. Deterioration of spider insert and prolonged use after deterioration will destroy pump bearings and
engine bearings, along with total destruct on of coupler hubs. |
Improper beam lubrication will cause pre mature wear and looseness. Lubricate the beam regularly. Lack
of lubrication will void your warranty.
Improper adjustment of splitting wedge will void your warranty. Become familiar with the proper tolerance
red rec for adjustment of the splitting wedge as instructed in the adjustment section of this manual.
. If wedge is too loose, cylinder beam ad wedge wear will result. Allowing the wedge to loosen and be
used under operating stress will cause: damage which will not be covered under warranty.
b. If wedge is too tight, severe beam daniage will result which will not be covered under warranty.
Warranty card must be mailed or deliver 2d directly to factory. Proper information must be completed and
mailed as per instructions. No warranty records on file may result in delay.
Do not overheat the hydraulic system. Ex: sessive heat will destroy the hydraulic system with hardened O-rings
and excessive friction. |
Do not attempt to start in temperatures under 20° F. without pre-heating fluid in reservoir. Excessively
cold fluid cannot circulate and draw into pump. Warranty will be void.
Repair any leaks in hydraulic system iminediately. Unattended leaks will cause air to enter system and/or
decrease fluid level in reservoir, causing dainage to the hydraulic system which will not be covered by warranty.
Warm up engine apart from pump in cold weather

ning as it is HOT. |
If the equipment should start to vibrate abnormally, sto) the engine
and check immediately for the cause. Vibration is gene ally a warn-
ing of trouble.
When cleaning, repairing or inspecting, make certair all moving
parts have stopped. Disconnect the spark plug wire and keep the
wire away from the plug to prevent accidental starting.
MAINTENANCE
Do not operate your splitter in poor mechanical condit on or when
in need of repair.
hydraulic fittings are tight to be sure equipment is in safe working
_ condition. Where appropriate, check all safety guards and shields
— to be sure they are in the proper position. Never operaie your split-
ter with safety guards, shields or other protective featur >s removed.
These safety devices are for your protection.
Y
mn
Replace all damaged or worn parts such as hydraulic hoses and
fittings immediately with manufacturer approved replacement parts.
Do not change the engine governor settings or overspeed the
engine. This increases the hazard of personal injury. The max-
imum engine speed is preset by the manufacturer and is within
— safety limits.

Do not alter your splitter in any manner such as attaching a rope
or extension to the control lever or adding to the width or height
of the wedge. Such alterations may cause your splitter to be unsafe.
Perform all recommended maintenance procedures before you use
your splitter. |
Do not service or repair your log splitter without disconnecting
the spark plug wire.
Never store the equipment with gasoline in the tank inside of a
building where ignition sources are present, such as hot water
and space heaters, clothes dryers and the like. Allow the engine
to cool before storing in any enclosure.
Always store gasoline in an approved, tightly sealed container.
Store the container in a cool, dry place. Do not store in a building
where ignition sources are present.
To reduce fire hazard, keep engine free of grass, leaves, wood
chips, and excessive grease and oil. |
The hydraulic system of your log splitter requires careful inspec-
tion, along with the mechanical parts. Be sure to replace frayed,
kinked, or otherwise damaged hydraulic components.
Fluid escaping from a very small hole can be almost invisible. Do
not check for leaks with your hand. Escaping fluid under pressure
can have sufficient force to penetrate skin, causing serious per-
sonal injury. Leaks can be located by passing a piece of card-
board 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 splitter is 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 which could result in a fire hazard.
Never store log splitter outside without a waterproof cover. Rain
will cause rust on the inside of the cylinder.

This unit should not be towed on any street, highway or public
road without checking the existing federal, local or state vehicle
requirements. Any licensing or modifications such as taillights,
etc., needed to comply with the existing federal, local or state
vehicle requirements is the sole responsibility of the purchaser.
Before towing, be certain the log splitter is correctly and securely
attached to the towing vehicle, and the safety chains are in place.
Leave slack in chains for turning allowance.
Do not allow anyone to sit or ride on your splitter. They can easily
fall off and be seriously injured. |
NOTE: This unit is equipped with an internal combustion eng ne and should not be used on ог near any unimproved forest-covered, brush-covered
or grass-covered land unless the engine's exhaust system is equipped with a spark arrester meeting applicable local or state laws (if any). If

? WARNING $
If the fluid becomes excessively hot at
any time during operation, stop the unit
and allow the fluid to cool down. Maxi-
mum performance will not be obtained
from your log splitter if the fluid is too
hot. Use extreme caution as contacting
hot fluid could result in serious personal
injury.
TO TRANSPORT LOG SPLITTER
1. Lower the beam to its horizontal position. Make
certain the beam is latched securely with the lock-
ing rod.
2. Remove the quick release pin which secures the
jack stand. Pivot it up against the tongue, and
secure with the quick release pin.
3. Attach the hitch to a towing vehicle, making cer-
tain to latch securely. Attach the safety chains to
the towing vehicle.
ADJUSTMENT
A EE
Always stop the engine and disconnect
the spark plug wire before performing
any adjustments.
LOG DISLODGER (Model 424/LCD/22 Only)
If the logs to be split are all of a standard length less
than 24”, adjust the log dislodger as follows. See figure
16.
1. Remove the hex bolts, lock washers and hex nuts
which secure the log dislodger to the beam.
2. Move the log dislodger to the hole desired. Secure
with hardware just removed. Tighten securely.
Adjusting the log dislodger to accommodate smaller
logs will shorten the time required for the wedge to
make a complete cycle.
SPLITTING WEDGE
As normal wear occurs, periodically adjust the bolts on
the slide plate (beneath the splitting wedge) as follows
to eliminate the excess space between the wedge plate
and the beam. See figure 16 or 17. |
1. Loosen the three hex bolts on top of the slide plate
(beneath the splitting wedge).
2. Back the two adjustment bolts on the side of the
slide plate out slowly until the wedge assembly will
slide on the beam. Tighten the lock nuts securely

CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT
Á a
If any adjustments are made to the
engine while the engine is running
(e.g. carburetor), keep clear of all moving
parts. Be careful of heated surfaces and
muffler. |
Minor carburetor adjustment may be required to com-
pensate for differences in fuel, temperature, altitude or
load. Improper adjustment will cause stalling when split-
ter is under load, hard starting and higher fuel con-
sumption.
Refer to the separate engine manual packed with your
log splitter for carburetor adjustment information.
mm) NOTE
A DIRTY AIR CLEANER WILL CAUSE
ENGINE TO RUN ROUGH. BE CERTAIN
AIR CLEANER IS CLEAN AND AT-
TACHED TO THE CARBURETOR
BEFORE ADJUSTING CARBURETOR.
DO NOT MAKE UNNECESSARY
ADJUSTMENTS. FACTORY SETTINGS
ARE SATISFACTORY FOR MOST
APPLICATIONS AND CONDITIONS.
MAINTENANCE
BE
Always stop the engine and disconnect
the spark plug wire before performing
any maintenance or repairs.
RESERVOIR FLUID
Check the hydraulic fluid level in the log splitter reser-
voir tank before each use. Fluid level should be 112”
to 2” from the top of the tank.
Change the hydraulic fluid in the reservoir eve y 100
hours of operation. Disconnect the suction hos: from
the bottom of the reservoir tank, and drain the fluid in-
to a suitable container. Refill using only De» ron ll
automatic transmission fluid or 10W non-foaming
hydraulic fluid, as instructed in the “Initial Preparation’
section of this manual, page 8. Also, make cer ain to
change the hydraulic filter.
ma) 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. Con-
taminants in the fluid will damage the
hydraulic components. (Should be per-
formed by an authorized service dealer.)
A EE
Use extreme caution when working with
kerosene, as it is an extremely flammable
fluid.
HYDRAULIC FILTER
Change the hydraulic filter every 50 hours of ope ‘ation.
Use only a 10 micron hydraulic filter. Order part n 1mber
723-0405.
BEAM AND SPLITTING WEDGE
Lubricate both sides of the beam where it contacts the
splitting wedge with engine oil before each use to ob-
tain years of service. However, normal wear will occur.
The wedge plate on the log splitter is designed so the
gibs on the side of the wedge plate can be easily re-
moved and rotated and/or turned over for even wear.
Make certain to readjust the adjustment bolts so vedge
moves freely, but no excess space exists betwe en the
wedge plate and beam.
HOSE CLAMPS
Check the hose clamps on the suction hose (at ached
to bottom of the pump) for proper tightness beforz each
use. Check the hose clamps on the return hose iit least
once a season.
ENGINE
Refer to the separate engine manual for ail engine
maintenance instructions.
Maintain engine oil as instructed in | the se parate
engine manual packed with your unit. Read anc. follow
instructions carefully.
12
Service air cleaner every 25 hours under normal con-
ditions. Clean every few hours under extremely dusty
conditions. Poor engine performance and flooding
usually indicates that the air cleaner should be ser-
viced. To service the air cleaner refer to the separate
engine manual packed with your unit.
The spark plug should be cleaned and the gap reset
once a season. Spark plug replacement is recommend-
ed at the start of each season; check engine manual
for correct plug type and gap specification.
Clean the engine regularly with a cloth or brush. Keep
the cooling system (blower housing area) clean to per-
mit proper air circulation which is essential to engine
performance and life. Be certain to remove all dirt and
combustible debris from muffler area. 3
FLEXIBLE PUMP COUPLER
The flexible pump coupler is a nylon “spider” insert,
located between the pump and engine shaft. The align-
ment is very critical. Over a period of time, the coupler
will harden and deteriorate. For a replacement flexible
pump coupler, order part number 717-0891.
Aa
Never hit the pump shaft in any manner,
as any blow Will cause permanent
damage to the pump.
When replacing the flexible pump coupling, proceed
as follows.
1. Place the coupling half onto the engine shaft. Make
certain there is clearance between the coupling
half and the engine. Tighten the set screw.
2. Mount the pump onto the coupling support bracket.
Tighten securely.
3. Carefully slide coupling half onto pump shaft (make
certain set screw is loose). Slide the key into o place
on the shaft.
4. Install the nylon “spider” insert into couping half
_ on the engine shaît. ‘
5. Place the coupling shield in position on the hex
bolts. Rotate the keyway on the pump shaft so it
is toward the bottom.
6. Attach the coupling support bracket to the hex
bolts, carefully sliding the coupling half over the
“spider” insert. Secure coupling shield and coup-
ling support bracket with lock washers and hex
nuts. Tighten securely.
7. Adjust the two coupling halves (steel) so there is
between .010” and .060” clearance between the
two halves (at least the thickness of a matchbook
cover, up to 1/16” maximum). See figure 18.
Tighten the set screw in the e coupling | half on the
pump shaft. | |
mm) NOTE
Make certain proper clearance is ob-
tained before tightening set screw.

TIRE PRESSURE
Check sidewall of tire for manufacturer’s recommended
maximum tire pressure. If this information does not ap-
pear on your tire, maximum tire pressure under any cir-
cumstances is 30 p.s.i. Equal pressure should be
maintained on both tires. |
INSTALLATION OF TIRE TO RIM
{ WARNING $
ФФ ФФ ФФ
The following procedure must be fol-
lowed when removing or installing a
tire to the rim. |
1. Be certain rim is clean and free of rust.
2. Lubricate both the tire and rim generously.
3. Never inflate to over 30 p.s.i. to seat beads. Ex-
cessive pressure when seating beads may cause
tire/rim assembly to burst with force sufficient to
cause serious injury.
OFF-SEASON STORAGE
To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be
emptied before storage of 30 days or longer. Follow
these instructions. |
1. Drain the fuel tank. Start the engine, and let it run
until the fuel lines and carburetor are empty.
A
DO NOT DRAIN FUEL WHILE
SMOKING, OR IF NEAR AN OPEN FIRE.
| Drain all the oil from the crankcase (this should be
done after the engine has been operated and is
still warm) and refill the crankcase with fresh oil.
. Protect the inside of the engine for storage as
follows.
Remove spark plug, pour approximately 12 ounce
(approximately one tablespoon) of engine oil into
cylinder and crank slowly to distribute oil. Replace
spark plug.
. Clean the engine and the entire log splitter
thoroughly.
. Wipe unit with an oiled rag to prevent rust,
especially wedge and beam.
ma) NOTE
~ When storing any type of power
equipment in an unventilated or metal
storage shed, care should be taken to
rustproof the equipment by coating with
a light oil or silicone.
The tongue can be removed and reattached in an
upright position as shown in figure 19 to take less
space when storing.
. Store unit in a clean, dry area.

Gear Section
Gear Section
THE PUMP
A two-stage log splitter pump has one large and one
small gear section, using common inlet and outlet ports.
Below a preset pressure (called unloading pressure)
a check valve between the two gear sections allows
both flows to combine. Together, the two gear sections
create a large volume flow which produces rapid
cylinder movement under low load conditions.
Above unloading pressure, a pilot pressure line (which
simulates actual pressure at the cylinder) activates the
unloading valve, which causes the flow to bypass the
large gear section and return to the pump inlet area.
The small gear section is now operating alone, and will
generate the higher pressure necessary for the actual
log splitting operation.
The original factory setting for the unloading valve 15
designed to provide maximum flow while remaining
below engine stalling load. Note: Splitting capability
is not affected by the setting of the unloading valve.
Do not attempt to adjust or reset it without a
pressure gauge (should be performed by an
authorized service dealer only).
THE DIRECTIONAL VALVE AND CYLINDER
From the pump, oil flows to a four way, three position
directional valve. At the neutral position this valve
directs the flow back to the oil reservoir, bypassing the
cylinder. When the directional valve is directing the flow
to the back of the cylinder, the cylinder rod extends
quickly until it meets significant resistance. Upon
reaching unloading pressure, movement of the shaft
will slow but will continue forward. If the pressure
reaches a preset maximum (called relief valve pressure)
the relief valve, located within the directional valve, will
allow the flow to bypass the cylinder and return to the
reservoir. This can happen when the cylinder rod meets
excessive resistance, or when it reaches the end of its
stroke and can move no farther.
Note: Never operate at relief valve pressure for more
than a few seconds.
When the directional valve is directing the flow to the
front of the cylinder, the rod will retract quickly since
“it is encountering no resistance. The relief valve will
momentarily bypass the flow at the end of the return
stroke but the directional valve should then automatical-
ly return to the neutral position, directing the flow direct-
ly into the reservoir. This serves to protect the pump
from possible damage due to prolonged operation at
relief valve pressure.
Because of the potential for system damage, the relief
valve is carefully and precisely preset by the
manufacturer.
Note: The user should not attempt to adjust or
change the setting of the relief valve.

OPERATIONAL PROBLEMS
If you have trouble with your log splitter, please refer
