Maximum length of log to be split is 24". • Move throttle control lever to SLOW position. • Move engine shut-off switch to OFF position. See figure 7.
WARNING: DO NOT FILL CLOSER THAN 1/2 INCH OF TOP OF FUEL TANK TO PREVENT SPILLS AND TO ALLOW FOR FUEL EXPANSION. IF GASOLINE IS ACClDENTLY SPILLED, MOVE LOG SPLII'rER AWAY FROM AREA OF SPILL. AVOID CREATING ANY SOURCE OF IGNITION UNTIL GASOLINE VAPORS HAVE DISAPPEARED. • Remove the quick release pin which secures the jack stand. Support the tongue, and pivot the jack stand up against the tongue. Secure with the quick release pin. • Attach the hitch to a towing vehicle, making certain to latch securely.
NOTE: Before initial use or first time use after storage, be certain to fill the reservoir as instructed in next section. IMPORTANT: Reservoir tank must be full as instructed.
