ASSEMBLY
6. Start Engine. Extend and retract the cylinder to
purge air from the hydraulic system. Cylinder motion
should be smooth and continuous.
7. Check the hydraulic oil tank dipstick. Add additional
hydraulic oil if needed.
8. Check oil level daily and add as needed.
When the outdoor tempurature is below 32 ˚F, Dexron III
transmission fluid can be used.
NOTE
To check oil level, insert the dipstick into fill neck until it
stops. Remove and read level. Do not thread dipstick into
fill neck when checking oil.
NOTE
Add Hydraulic Oil
1. Make sure the log splitter is on a flat, level surface.
2. Remove the dipstick from the oil tank. (A)
3. Add 2 gal. (7.6 L) of hydraulic oil - 10W AW32, ASLE
H-150, or ISO 32.
4. Check the hydraulic oil level using dipstick. Oil level
should be between the two marks on the dipstick. (A)
5. Replace and tighten the dipstick.
DO NOT remove the dipstick when the engine is running
or hot. Hot oil can escape causing severe burns. Always
allow the log splitter to cool completely before removing
the hydraulic oil cap.
High fluid pressure and temperatures are created in the
hydraulic log splitters. Hydraulic fluid will escape through
a pin-size hole opening and can puncture skin and cause
severe blood poisoning.
Inspect hydraulic system regularly for possible leaks.
Never check for leaks with your hand while the system
is pressurized. Seek medical attention immediately if
injured by escaping fluid.
WARNING
Add Engine Fuel
1. Use clean, fresh, regular unleaded fuel with a
minimum octane rating of 85 and an ethanol
content of less than 10% by volume.
2. DO NOT mix oil with fuel.
3. Clean the area around the fuel cap.
4. Remove the fuel cap.
5. Slowly add fuel to the tank. DO NOT overfill. Allow
approximately ¼ inch of space for fuel expansion.
6. Screw on the fuel cap and wipe away any spilled fuel.
A
Use regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum
octane rating of 85.
Do not mix oil and gasoline.
Fill tank to approximately ¼” below the top of the
tank to allow for fuel expansion.
DO NOT pump gas directly into the generator at the
gas station. Use an approved container to transfer
the fuel to the generator.
DO NOT fill fuel tank indoors.
DO NOT fill fuel tank when the engine is running or hot.
DO NOT overfill the fuel tank.
DO NOT light cigarettes or smoke when filling the
fuel tank.
