ALWAYS CHECK FOR DAMAGES AND. REPLACE IF DAMAGED. AVOID SHARP TURNS AND STEEP VERTICAL ANGLES WHEN TOWING.. 5 OPERATION. Intended use: This log splitter is intended and designed to only split wood. NEVER use. for any other purposes. Doing so can cause injury or VOID THE WARRANTY.. ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS. This log splitter has been partially assembled at the factory. Refer to the drawings and part. lists should it become necessary to disassemble the unit for repair or replacement of parts. . Inspect all components for damage.. WARNING: Exercise extreme caution, as parts are very heavy. Sufficient persons or. mechanical handling equipment should be used.. IMPORTANT: This unit is shipped with oil but without gasoline in the engine. After. assembly, see separate Engine Manual for proper fuel and oil recommendations.. FILLING THE HYDRAULIC RESERVOIR. Fill the hydraulic reservoir with at least 12 Quarts of Dextron III Automatic Transmission. fluid or 10W AW hydraulic fluid. 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 indicates that there is air. in the system). Once the cylinder has a smooth and constant speed indicating that all air. has been expelled, add another 4 quarts of oil, this should then bring the fluid level up to. approximately 3” below the fill hole. These models require approx. 16-17 Quarts of. hydraulic fluid. . NOTE: If the tank is overfilled, it will tend to expel oil from the breather cap when the. cylinder is retracted. . 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. 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 are. turned to their ON positions. . 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.. 6 OPERATION. TOWING.
