
NOTICE
We consider the first 5 hours of run time to be the break-
in 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. After the 5 hour
break-in period, change the oil. Using synthetic lubricants does
not decrease the recommended oil change interval.

NOTICE
Weather will affect engine oil and engine performance. Change
the type of engine oil used based on weather conditions to suit
the engine needs.

NOTICE
Synthetic oil may be used after the 5 hour initial break-in
period. Using synthetic oil does not decrease the recommended
oil change interval. Full synthetic 5W-30 oil will aid in starting
in cold ambient < 41º F (5º C)

octane rating of 87 and an ethanol content of less than 10%
by volume. ybc
2. DO NOT mix oil with gasoline.
3. Remove the gasoline cap.
4. Slowly add gasoline to the tank. DO NOT OVERFILL. Gasoline
can expand after filling. A minimum of ¼ in. (6.4 mm) of
space left in the tank is required for gasoline expansion,
although more than ¼ in. (6.4 mm) is recommended. Gasoline
can be forced out of the tank as a result of expansion if
overfilled, and can affect the stable running condition of the
log splitter.

of the fuel tank.
6. Screw on the gasoline cap and wipe away any spilled fuel.

Fill tank to approximately ¼ in. (6.4 mm) below the top of the
tank to allow for gasoline expansion.
DO NOT pump gasoline directly into the log splitter at the
pump. Use an approved container to transfer the gasoline to
the log splitter.
