After the hydraulic reservoir and the engine. crankcase are filled correctly with their respective oils, start the engine. Remember to set the throttle and turn on. the fuel shut-off valve. The hydraulic pump should prime itself. With the engine running, move the hydraulic. valve lever toward the wedge. This will cause the cylinder to extend and expel air. When the cylinder is fully. extended, retract it. Repeat this procedure several times. (An erratic movement of the cylinder and wedge indicates. that there is air in the system). Once the cylinder has a smooth and constant speed indicating that all air has been. expelled, shut the system off and refill the reservoir until the fluid is in the safe operating range as specified by the. marks on the dipstick.. START UP. WARNING: DO NOT START OR RUN THE LOG SPLITTER WITHOUT OIL IN THE ENGINE. AND HYDRAULIC RESERVOIR.. See separate Engine Manual for fuel and oil recommendations. If applicable your log splitter has come equipped. with a fuel shut-off valve for towing purposes.. Before starting engine make sure crankcase is filled correctly with oil and the proper fuel has been used. The. engine will only start when the throttle lever and fuel shut-off valve if applicable are turned to their ON positions.. STARTING INSTRUCTIONS . 1.. Move throttle control to “FAST.”. 2.. Set Choke to on position (if applicable) or push primer bulb three (3) times. NOTE: Do not use primer or. choke to restart a warm engine after a short shutdown.. 3.. Grasp rope handle and pull out slowly until resistance it felt. Then pull rapidly with a full arm stroke.. NOTE: If engine fails to start after three (3) pulls, repeat steps 1 and 2.. 4.. When Engine starts, set choke to off position (if applicable) leave throttle control at “FAST.” The throttle. must be set in the fast position for maximum performance.. 5.. To stop engine, move throttle lever to “SLOW” for a few seconds then to “STOP.”. 6 COLD WEATHER START UP. The Cold Weather Clutch enables the engine to be started without having to pull through cold,. thickened hydraulic fluid. Simply pull the handle out into locked position. Start engine, let it warm up,. and release Cold Weather Clutch. After starting, assure that the lever has reengaged.. SPLITTER OPERATION. 1.. Set up the log splitter in a clear, level area and block the wheels. The suction port on the tank should. always be on the lower side of the log splitter.. 2.. Place a log on the beam, against the foot plate. Make sure the log is securely on the foot plate and up. against the beam.. 3.. Depress the valve lever so that the cylinder will drive the push block into the log. Extend the cylinder. until the log splits or to the end of its stroke. If the log has not completely split after the cylinder has. reached the end of its extension, retract the cylinder. NOTE: Leaving the valve in the “actuate” position. at the end of the stroke may damage the pump. Always use extra care when splitting logs with ends that. are not square.. NOTE: To extend the life of the hydraulic cylinder, avoid “BOTTOMING OUT” the cylinder.. TOWING SAFETY. This unit should not be towed on any street, highway, or public road without checking the existing federal, local,. and state laws. Any licensing or modifications such as taillights, etc., need to comply with existing federal, local,. or state vehicle requirements is the sole responsibility of the purchaser. Obey all regulations when towing on. public roads and highways. See also SAFETY PERCAUTIONS.. Turn the fuel shut-off valve if applicable OFF to prevent flooding of the engine while traveling.. Be careful when backing up. You can easily jack-knife your splitter.. TOWING AT NIGHT. The requirements for taillights are based on States regulations. Some states allow towing at night as. long as the towed equipment does not visibly impair the tow vehicle taillights. This is based on a state,. to state requirements. The customer is responsible for meeting the states requirements.. If a “Statement of Origin” is required in your state, see your local dealer to receive one.. HYDRAULIC SAFETY. The hydraulic system on your splitter requires careful inspection along with the mechanical parts. Be sure to. replace any frayed, kinked, cracked or otherwise damaged hydraulic components. Just because it isn’t leaking. today doesn’t mean that it will not fail tomorrow.. Fluid escaping from a very small hole can almost be invisible. Do not check for leaks with your hand. Escaping. fluid under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate skin causing serious personal injury or even death. . Leaks can be detected by passing a piece of cardboard or wood over the suspected leak and looking for. discoloration. IF injured by escaping fluid, see a doctor at once. Serious infection or reaction can develop if. proper medical treatment is not administered immediately.. Should it become necessary to loosen or remove any hydraulic fittings, lines or reservoir cap, be sure to r...
