Check fluid level before each use. A. Block up front of log splitter so the beam is level. B. Remove the fluid check plug from the back of the log splitter. See figure 9. If fluid starts to come out of the hole, fluid level is correct. If it does not, replace the check plug loosely, ^ pull the cap off the breather tube, and add Dexron II automatic transmission fluid until fluid starts out of the hole when the plug is removed. C. Replace fluid check plug securely. Replace cap on the breather tube. Remove block from under front of beam. FLUID CHECK PLUG FIGURE 9 2. 3. NOTE DO NOT operate log splitter without proper amount of transmission fluid in reservoir tank (beam). Service engine with oil as instructed in the separate engine manual packed with your unit. Fill fuel tank, using clean, fresh, regular grade automotive gasoline. Fill tank completely. (Refer to engine manual packed with log splitter for complete instructions for the care and maintena ice of engine. READ DIRECTIONS CAREFULLY . Bleed the air from the hydraulic system as folic ws. a. Remove the breather cap. Start the engine. Slowly work the engagement handle forward and backward until the ram moves smoolhly in both directions. Stop the engine. Remove the fluid check p ug, and check fluid level as specified in step c ne. Add fluid as necessary and bleed air from the hydraulic system until oil level is correct jnd the ram operates smoothly. Replace breather cap securely. b. c. d. e. NOTE Be certain to bleed the air from the hydraulic system as instructed above after any repair work is done on the pump, valve or cylinder, if a hose is removed for any reason or when adding fluid to the reservoir. A Do not operate unit with the breather cap removed. TO START ENGINE 1. Place throttle control lever (on engine) in CHCKE position, towards the front of splitter. See ficure 10. NOTE A warm engine may not require choking. Simply place lever in RUN position. 2. Grasp starter handle, place one foot on wheel and pull starter handle with a quick, full arm stroke. Return rope slowly to the engine. 3. After engine starts, move throttle control lever to RUN position. TO STOP ENGINE 1. Move throttle control lever to STOP.position. 2. Disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug to prevent accidental starting while equipment is unattended. USING YOUR LOG SPLITTER Your log splitter is designed for safe, efficient operation. BE CAREFUL TO KEEP HANDS AND FEET AWAY FROM MOVING PARTS. Engagement handle has three positions: (See figure 11) Forward - ram moves toward wedge. Neutral - ram stops in place. Reverse - ram returns. ENGAGEMENT HANDLE IN NEUTRAL POSITION. ENGAGEMENT HANDLE HELD IN FORWARD POSITION. ENGAGEMENT HANDLE LOCKED IN REVERSE POSITION. FIGURE 11 Maximum length that can be split is 20". TO OPERATE LOG SPLITTER: 1. Set throttle at maximum speed. Place log on beam and hold in place with right hand. Slowly move engagement handle forward until ram rests against log. Release engagement handle (Neutral). Remove your hand from the log and step behind the ram. Move engagement handle forward until log is split. Move the engagement handle to the rear to return ram. The ram should take approximately 22 seconds to make a complete cycle. This speed may vary depending on throttle setting and temperature of hydraulic fluid. 2. 4. 5. 6. NOTE If you lock the engagement handle in the reverse slot, the ram will return until it hits the engagement bracket, which will throw the engagement handle into neutral automatically. 8 A Never attempt to cut a log in half with the log splitter. Never stand next to the ram when operating. Always stand behind the ram. MAINTENANCE { WARNING I Always stop engine and disconnect spark plug wire before performing any maintenance or adjustments. ENGINE OIL Change oil first two (2) hours of operation. Check oil level every five (5) operating hours or each time equipment is used. Change oil every twenty-five (25) operating hours or sooner if equipment is operated in extremely dusty or dirty conditions. Refer to engine manual for quantity and type of oil. s- LOG SPLITTER RESERVOIR FLUID “Check fluid level in log splitter reservoir before every k Refer to "Before Starting" under OPERATION section. Change the hydraulic fluid in the reservoir every 100 hours of operation. Remove the six hex bolts, lock washers and hex nuts which hold the end plate to the beam. Remove the plate and drain the fluid. Be prepared to catch the fluid in a suitable container. END PLATE NOTE Drain the hydraulic fluid and flush the reservoir tank assembly and hoses each time repair work is performed in the tank, hydraulic pump or valve. Contaminants in the fluid will damage the hydraulic components.
