MACHINERY OR DEVICES IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
The equipment which you have just purchased does not have a spark arrester. It this equipment is used on
any forest covered land, brush covered land, or grass covered unimproved land in the State of California,
before using on such land, the California law requires that a spark arrester be provided. In addition, spark
arrester is required by law to be in effective working order. The spark arrester must be attached to the
exhaust system and comply with Section 4442 of the California Public Resources Code.
~~ It is suggested that this m

ED IMPORTANT
anual be read in its entirety before attempting to assemble or operate. Keep
this manual in a safe place for future reference and for ordering replacement parts. |
This unit is shipped WITHOUT GASOLINE or OIL. After assembly, see operating section of this manual
for proper fuel and amount.
Your log splitter is a precision piece of power equipment, not a plaything. Therefore exercise extreme
caution at all times.
SAFE OPERATION PRACTICES FOR LOG SPLITTERS
TRAINING
Know the controls and how to stop quickly--
READ THE OWNER'S MANUAL. |
Do not allow children to operate. Do not allow
adults to operate it without proper instruction.
Only persons well acquainted with these rules of
safe operation should be allowed to use your log
splitter. |
PREPARATION
1.
4,
5.
Do not wear loose fitting clothing that could get
caught on the moving parts.
Do not operate equipment when barefoot or wear-
ing open sandles. Always wear substantial foot-
‘wear.
Check the fuel before starting the engine. Do not
fill the gasoline tank indoors, when the engine is
running, or while the engine is still hot. Wipe off
any spilled gasoline before starting the engine.
Use only in daylight or in good artificial light.
Never operate the equipment in the rain. Always
be sure of your footing.
OPERATION
1.
Do not change the engine governor settings or
overspeed the engine. Excessive engine speeds are
dangerous.
Do not put hands or feet near rotating or moving
parts.
If the equipment should start to vibrate abnor-
mally, stop the engine and check immediately for
the cause. Vibration is generally a warning of
trouble.
When cleaning, repairing or inspecting, make
certain all moving parts have stopped. Disconnect
the spark plug wire, and keep the wire away from
the plug to prevent accidental starting.
Handle gasoline with care--it is highly flammable.
A. Use approved gasoline container.
B. Never remove cap or add gasoline to a running
or hot engine or fill fuel tank indoors. Wipe
up spilled gasoline.
С. Open doors if engine is run in garage-
exhaust fumes are dangerous. Do not run
engine indoors.
6. Always operate the log splitter from the engine
side of the beam.
Stand behind the ram when operating. See drawings.
7. Be careful not to touch the muffler after the
engine has been running, it is HOT.
MAINTENANCE and STORAGE
Keep all nuts, bolts, screws, hose clamps and
hydraulic fittings tight to be sure equipment is
in safe working condition.
Never store the equipment with gasoline in the
tank inside of a building where fumes may reach
an open flame of spark. Allow the engine to cool
before storing in any enclosure. |
To reduce fire hazard keep engine free of grass,
leaves, wood chips, excessive grease and oil.
Do not change the engine governor settings or
overspeed the engine. Excessive engine speeds
are dangerous. |
Never store outside without a waterproof cover.
Rain will cause rust on the inside of the cylinder.
