ALWAYS keep hands clear of the log and wedge while it is retracting. NOTE 2.
ENGLISH 100326 OPERATION Operation at High Altitude The density of air at high altitude is lower than at sea level. Engine power is reduced as the air mass and air-fuel ratio decrease. Engine power and output will be reduced approximately 3½% for every 1000 feet (305 m) of elevation above sea level. This is a natural trend and cannot be changed by adjusting the engine. At high altitudes increased exhaust emissions can also result due to the increased enrichment of the air fuel ratio.
100326 ENGLISH The owner/operator is responsible for all periodic maintenance. WARNING Never operate a damaged or defective log splitter. WARNING MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE Spark Plugs 1. Remove the spark plug cable from the spark plug. 2. Use a spark plug socket tool (not included) or a 13/16 in. or 21 mm socket (not included) to remove the plug. 3. Inspect the electrode on the plug. It must be clean and not worn to produce the spark required for ignition. 4. Make certain the spark plug gap is 0.7 - 0.
ENGLISH 100326 MANTENANCE AND STORAGE Cleaning Storage Clear the debris from the beam, wedge and end plate. Use a damp cloth to clean exterior surfaces of the engine and log splitter.
