Assembly 100330-1 - 37 Ton Full Beam Log Splitter 5. The approximate fuel level is shown on the fuel gauge on top of the fuel tank. NOTICE We consider the first 5 hours of run time to be the breakin period for the engine. During the break in period we recommend using standard automotive non-synthetic blended oils. After the break in period synthetic lubricant can be used but is not required. Avoid bogging or lugging the engine down and avoid prolonged running at constant RPM.
Assembly 100330-1 - 37 Ton Full Beam Log Splitter If your log splitter was delivered unassembled, follow these instructions: NOTICE Our engines work well with 10% or less ethanol blend gasoline. When using ethanol-gasoline blends there are some issues worth noting: 1. Make sure the log splitter is on a flat, level surface. – Ethanol-gasoline blends can absorb more water than gasoline alone. 3. Add 5 gal. (18.9 L) of hydraulic oil - see specification section for types of acceptable oil.
Assembly 100330-1 - 37 Ton Full Beam Log Splitter NOTICE 54 When the outdoor temperature is below 32˚F, Dexron III transmission fluid can be used. Do not mix hydraulic oil and transmission fluid. Drain all oil or fluid before adding the other one. 56 See hydraulic oil system specifications section for more details 3. Insert pin and “R” clip in the rear locking hole (at base of tow beam). NOTICE To check oil level, use the oil sight glass on the tank.
Operation 100330-1 - 37 Ton Full Beam Log Splitter Log Splitter Location WARNING 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.
Operation 100330-1 - 37 Ton Full Beam Log Splitter 3. Move the fuel valve to the “ON” position. 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 In an emergency, turn the engine switch to the “OFF” position. 4. Pull the starter cord until resistance is felt and then pull rapidly.
Operation 100330-1 - 37 Ton Full Beam Log Splitter Log Splitter Operation NOTICE 1. ALWAYS wear ear and eye protection, protective clothing and safety gear. The cylinder stroke is designed so the wedge stops approximately 1.5 in. (3.8 cm) from the end plate. 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.
Maintenance 100330-1 - 37 Ton Full Beam Log Splitter MAINTENANCE Changing the Engine Oil Make certain that the log splitter is kept clean and stored properly. Only operate the unit on a flat, level surface in a clean, dry operating environment. DO NOT expose the unit to extreme conditions, excessive dust, dirt, moisture or corrosive vapors. Inspect all air vents and cooling slots to ensure that they are clean and unobstructed. Change oil when the engine is warm.
Maintenance 100330-1 - 37 Ton Full Beam Log Splitter Cleaning the Air Filter 1. Begin with the cylinder retracted and the engine fuel valve in the “OFF” position. 1. Using your finger, pry the outer tab up slightly and lift the air filter cover above the tab lock position. 2. Release any stored pressure by moving the valve lever forward and backward several times. 3. Place a container under the hydraulic tank. Make sure it is large enough to hold the contents of the tank.
Maintenance 100330-1 - 37 Ton Full Beam Log Splitter Maintenance Schedule – Using a large wrench, unscrew the fitting from the tank to expose the internal tank filter.
