Replacement Part List

4. Start the engine and use the control handle to engage the wedge to the farthest extended position and then retract

fully. Repeat this operation for 12 cycles to repel the air trapped in the hydraulic system. Much of the fluid will be

drawn into the cylinder and hoses. Stop the engine, and check the oil level as instructed below.

NOTE: Make sure the oil level is above the bottom line on the dipstick. If not, refill the reservoir to prevent damage

to the hydraulic pump. DO NOT overfill.

Some fluid may overflow from the ventilator as the system builds heat and

the fluid expands and seeks a balanced level. Place a container underneath the tank to collect the spilled oil.

5. However, you MUST check the fluid level before each operating. If not filled, proceed with above steps.

● W

ear safety gear such as goggles or safety glasses, steel toed shoes and tight fitting gloves (without loose cuffs or draw

strings), a protective hearing device and suitable work clothing.

NEVER wear loose clothing or jewelry that can be

caught by moving parts of the log splitter.

● Place the log splitter on flat, dry, solid ground

in an open area.

● Lubricate the beam area (where the splitting wedge will slide) with engine oil. Do not use grease. See FIGURE 1.

● Block both wheels to prevent your log splitter from moving during operation.

● Place the beam in either the horizontal or vertical position and lock into place.

1. To place the beam in the Vertical Position proceeds as

follows:

1) Pull the horizontal beam lock lever out and rotate it

downward, so it rests against the side of the lock and

remains unlocked. See FIGURE 13.

2) Use both your hands to lift up the beam, and flip it

over to the vertical position, then rotate the horizontal

lock lever back up the tongue to release the lock.
