NOTICE
Our engines work well with 10% or less ethanol blend
gasoline. When using ethanol-gasoline blends there are
some issues worth noting:
– Ethanol-gasoline blends can absorb more water than
gasoline alone.
– These blends can eventually separate, leaving water or a
watery goo in the tank, fuel valve and carburetor.
– With gravity-fed supplies, the compromised gasoline can
be drawn into the carburetor and cause damage to the
engine and/or potential hazards.
– There are only a few suppliers of fuel stabilizer that are
formulated to work with ethanol-gasoline blends.
– Any damages or hazards caused by using improper
gasoline, improperly stored gasoline, and/or
improperly formulated stabilizers, are not covered by
manufacturer’s warranty.
It is advisable to always shut off the gasoline supply, run the
engine to starvation and drain the tank when the equipment
is not in use for more than 30 days.
Before Each Use Inspect the Log Splitter
1. Check the hydraulic oil level and visually inspect all hoses,
attachments and cylinder for loose fittings, leaks, cracks,
fraying or other damage.
2. DO NOT operate the log splitter if there is any indication of
damage.
3. Inspect the engine and make sure the oil level is correct
before operating. If the engine is equipped with a spark
arrestor, clean and inspect it regularly (follow spark
arrestor maintenance schedule).
4. The tires need to be fully inflated and in good repair.
Reference the tire sidewall for recommended tire pressure.
! WARNING
DO NOT over inflate tires. Serious injury can result if tires
explode.
DO NOT tow the log splitter if the tires are worn or will not
hold air.
DO NOT exceed the maximum 45 MPH (72 KM/H) towing
speed.
Towing Log Splitter Safety
1. Always check local and state regulations regarding the
requirements for towing, licensing and lights.
2. Before towing make sure the log splitter is correctly and
securely attached to the vehicle and the safety chains
attached with enough slack to allow for turning.
3. Support leg must be pinned in the “UP” position for towing.
4. Never exceed the max. travel speed of 45 mph (72 km/h).
Towing the log splitter at speeds greater than 45 mph
(72 km/h) could result in serious injury or death. Always
adjust your towing speed according to the terrain and
conditions.
5. Always disconnect the log splitter from the towing vehicle
before operating.
Log Splitter Location
This log splitter must have at least seven feet of clearance from
combustible material. Leave at least three feet of clearance
on all sides of the log splitter to allow for adequate cooling,
maintenance and servicing. DO NOT place the log splitter near
vents or intakes where engine exhaust fumes could be drawn
into occupied or confined spaces. ONLY operate the log
splitter outdoors.
The log splitter needs to be on a dry level surface with good
footing. DO NOT work on mud, ice, tall grass, brush or snow.
Only operate log splitter from work zone shown below.
