OPERATION
19
 WARNING
ALWAYS use the log splitter for its intended use. The log
splitter should only be used to split wood logs, length wise
with the grain.
NEVER modify, alter or change the log splitter in anyway.
Modifications will void the warranty.
NEVER attach a rope, cable or other device to the control
lever on the log splitter.
DO NOT modify or change the engine and operating speeds
or pressure settings. These changes can cause safety
issues.
ONLY operate the log splitter in daylight.
NEVER operate, or let anyone else operate, the log splitter
while under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medication.
NEVER leave the log splitter unattended while the engine is
running.
DO NOT change the splitting position with the engine
running. Contact with the muffler can cause serious burns.
ALWAYS make sure the beam is in the locked position.
DO NOT let the beam drop as it could crush fingers or cause
damage to the log splitter.
OPERATION
Starting the Engine: Gasoline
1. Make certain the log splitter is on a flat, level surface.
2. Flip engine switch (A) to the “ON” position.
3. Rotate the fuel valve (B) to the “ON” position.
4. Move the throttle lever (C) to the “Fast” position.
5. Move the choke lever (D) to the “Choke” position.
6. Pull the starter cord slowly until resistance is felt and then
pull rapidly. SEE NOTE.
7. As engine warms up, move the choke lever (D) to the “Run”
position.

NOTICE
Keep choke lever in “Choke” position for 2 pulls of the recoil
starter. After second pull, move choke lever to the “Run”
position for up to the next 3 pulls of the recoil starter.
Too much choke leads to spark plug fouling/engine flooding
due to the lack of incoming air. This will cause the engine
not to start.


NOTICE
If the engine starts but does not run make certain that the
log splitter is on a flat, level surface. The engine is equipped
with a low oil sensor that will prevent the engine from
running when the oil level falls below a critical threshold.
Stopping the Engine
1. Turn the fuel valve (B) to the “OFF” position.
2. Let the engine run until fuel starvation has stopped the
engine. This usually takes a few minutes.
3. Turn the engine switch (A) to the “OFF” position.
Important: Always ensure that the fuel valve and the engine
switch are in the “OFF” position when the engine is not in use.

NOTICE
If the engine will not be used for a period of two (2) weeks
or longer, please see the Storage section for proper engine
and fuel storage.
Log Splitter Operation
1. ALWAYS wear ear and eye protection, protective clothing
and safety gear.
2. Block tires and ensure support leg is secure to prevent
unintended movement of the log splitter during operation.
3. Set log splitter in either the horizontal or vertical position.
