warning
DO NOT attempt to start or run the engine before it has been correctly filled with the recommended type and quantity of oil
Recommended type and quantity of oil. Damage to the log splitter as a result of not following these instructions will void your warranty.
instructions will void your warranty.
STEP 8: Add fuel to the engine
1. Use only clean, fresh, regular unleaded fuel with a minimum 86 octane rating.
Use only clean, fresh, regular unleaded fuel with a minimum 86 octane rating.
DO NOT mix oil with fuel.
3. Remove the fuel cap and slowly add fuel to the tank. DO NOT overfill, leave approximately ¼ inch of space for fuel expansion.
4. Screw on the fuel cap and wipe up any spilled fuel.
DANGER
Log splitter engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a colourless, odourless, poisonous gas. Breathing carbon
monoxide will cause nausea, dizziness, fainting or death. If you begin to feel dizzy or faint, get fresh air immediately. Operate the
log splitter outdoors only in a well-ventilated area. DO NOT operate the log splitter inside any building, enclosure or compartment.
DO NOT allow exhaust fumes to enter a confined area through windows, doors, vents or other openings. CARBON MONOXIDE
HAZARD, using a log splitter indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES.
DANGER
Fuel and fuel vapours are highly flammable and extremely explosive. Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or
death. Unintentional starting can cause entanglement, traumatic amputations or lacerations. Use only regular unleaded gasoline
with a minimum 86 octane rating. DO NOT mix oil and gasoline together. Fill the tank approximately ¼" below the top of the tank
to allow for fuel expansion. DO NOT fill the fuel tank indoors or when the engine is running or hot. DO NOT light cigarettes or
smoke when filling the fuel tank.
STEP 9: Add Hydraulic Oil
1. The log splitter must be on a flat, level surface before adding hydraulic oil.
2. Remove the oil cap from the hydraulic reservoir.
3. Add 3 gallons of hydraulic oil AW32, AW46 and universal hydraulic oil are all acceptable types of fluid. Automatic transmission
fluid should be used when operating at temperatures below 32 degrees (all units are tested and have excess oil on the piston).
4. Check hydraulic oil level.
5. Start the engine and use the control lever to extend and retract the wedge several times to remove air from the lines.
6. With the wedge retracted, recheck the hydraulic oil level and top up if necessary.
WARNING
DO NOT remove the hydraulic oil filler cap when the engine is running or hot. Hot oil can escape and cause severe
burns. Always allow the log splitter to cool completely before removing the hydraulic oil cap.
WARNING
High fluid pressures and temperatures are created in hydraulic log splitters. Hydraulic fluid will escape through a
pinhole opening and can puncture the skin and cause severe blood poisoning.
