Replacement Part List

Gasoline is a highly flammable liquid
and the vapors are explosive. To avoid personal injury or property damage, use
extreme care in handling gasoline. Always follow these precautions below, and refer to the Engine Manual for more safety
instructions.
1. ALWAYS take a Class B fire extinguisher with you when operating this log splitter in dry areas.
2. NEVER operate your log splitter near a flame or spark or smoke during operation. Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars,
pipes, and other sources of ignition. Hydraulic oil and gasoline are flammable and can explode.
3. When gasoline is spilled on yourself or your clothes, wash your skin and change clothes immediately.
4. NEVER refuel the gas tank while the engine is hot or running. Allow the engine to cool before refueling.
5. ONLY refuel your log splitter in an open clear area with no gas fumes or spilled gas.
Never fuel the machine indoors.
6. Never overfill the fuel tank. Fill tank to no more than1/2 inch below bottom of filler neck to provide space for fuel
expansion.
7. If gasoline is spilled out, wipe it off the engine and equipment, and move machine to another area. Wait five (5)
minutes before starting the engine.
8. ALWAYS replace the gas cap securely.
Never remove gas cap while the engine is hot or running.
9. To prevent fires, clean debris and chaff from the engine and muffler areas.
10. Allow machine to cool at least ten (10) minutes before storing.
11. Never store the machine or fuel container inside where there is an open flame, spark or pilot light as on a water
heater, space heater, furnace, clothes dryer or other gas appliances.
12. If the engine is equipped with a spark arrestor muffler, clean and inspect it regularly according to manufacturer’s
instructions. Replace if damaged.
WARNING! This log splitter is equipped with an internal combustion engine and should not be used
on or near any unimproved forest-covered, brush-covered or grass-covered land unless the engine’s
exhaust system is equipped with a spark arrestor meeting applicable local or state laws (if any). If a
spark arrester is used, it should be maintained in effective working order by the operator. In the state of
California, a spark arrestor is required by law. Other states may have similar restrictions. Always follow Federal
laws that apply on federal lands. A spark arrester muffler is optional and available as an accessory at your
nearest engine dealer. Always check the legal requirements in your area.
1.
The hydraulic system of your log splitter requires careful inspection along with the mechanical parts. Be sure to replace
frayed, kinked, cracked or otherwise damaged hydraulic hoses or hydraulic components.
2. Hydraulic log splitters develop high fluid pressures during operation. Fluid escaping through a pin hole can penetrate your
skin and cause blood poisoning, gangrene, or death. ALWAYS seek professional medical attention immediately if injured
by escaping hydraulic fluid.
3. DO NOT check for leaks with your hand. Leaks can be detected by passing a piece of cardboard over the suspected leak
and looking for discoloration.
4. ALWAYS be sure to relieve all pressure by shutting off the engine and moving the control handle back to stop position.
5. NEVER remove the ventilator cap from the hydraulic tank or reservoir while the log splitter is running. The tank could
contain hot oil under pressure which could result in serious injury.
6. NEVER adjust the hydraulic valve. The pressure relief valve on your log splitter is preset at the factory. Only a qualified
service technician should perform this adjustment.
