Force pump when mounting Use a filter (clean or replace regularly) Operate through relief valve for more than several Use a breather cap on fluid reservoir seconds Keep end of reservoir return tube below fluid l3vel Attempt to adjust unloading or relief valve settings Make certain pump is mounted and aligned pnperly without pressure gauges Use a flexible “spider” type coupling between e ngine Operate with air in hydraulic system and pump driveshafts Use Teflon tape on hydraulic fittings Keep hoses clear and unblocked Warm up engine apart from pump in cold weather Bleed air out of hoses before operating Attempt to cut wood across the grain Flush and clean hydraulic system before startup after any malfunction or servicing Use “pipe dope” on all hydraulic fittings Allow time for warmup before splitting wood Prime the pump before initial startup by turning over the engine with spark plug disconnected Split wood with the grain (lengthwise) only CONDITIONS WHICH WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY 1. Failure to maintain proper fluid level in Reservoir will void your warranty, causing permanent damage to pump by allowing air to be drawn into pump. Fluid will become foamy. Refer to “Initial Preparation” in the Operation Section of this manual. 2. 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 desigred. The system will produce more power than the structure will withstand. Higher pressure could cause the hoses to burst, cylinder to rupture and intense fluid releases, which could result in serious personal inji ry. 3. Disassembling the pump will void your wa-ranty. 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. 4. Use of incorrect hydraulic fluid will void your warranty. Use only Dexron II automatic transmission fluid or 10W non-foaming hydraulic fluid. 5. The flexible pump coupler must be inspscted 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 destructon of coupler hubs. 6. Improper beam lubrication will cause pr« mature wear and looseness. Lubricate the beam regularly. Lack of lubrication will void your warranty. 7. Improper adjustment of splitting wedge /vill void your warranty. Become familiar with the proper tolerance required for adjustment of the splitting wedge as instructed in the adjustment section of this manual. a. If wedge is too loose, cylinder beam a id 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 damage will result which will not be covered under warranty. 8. Warranty card must be mailed or delivered directly to factory. Proper information must be completed and mailed as per instructions. No warranty records on file may result in delay. 9. Do not overheat the hydraulic system. Excessive heat will destroy the hydraulic system with hardened O-rings and excessive friction. 10. 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. 11. Repair any leaks in hydraulic system immediately. Unattended leaks will cause air to enter system and/or decrease fluid level in reservoir, causing daijnage to the hydraulic system which will not be covered by warranty. 2 IMPORTANT RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION A THIS SYMBOL POINTS OUT IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WHICH, IF NOT FOLLOWED, COULD ENDANGER THE PERSONAL SAFETY AND/OR PROPERTY OF YOURSELF AND OTHERS.
