ASSEMBLY This log splitter has been mostly assembled at the factory. Refer to uncrating and assembly instructions to complete the final assembly step. Refer to the drawings and part lists should it become necessary to disassemble the unit for repair or replacement of parts. Inspect all components for damage. If you believe you have a damaged part please contact customer service immediately at 1-800-222-8183. WARNING: Exercise extreme caution, as parts are very heavy.
OPERATION SPLITTER OPERATION 1. 2. 3. Set up the log splitter in a clear, level area and block the wheels. The suction port on the tank should always be on the lower side of the log splitter. Place a log on the beam, against the foot plate. Make sure the log is securely on the foot plate and up against the beam. Depress the valve lever so that the cylinder will drive the wedge into the log. Extend the cylinder until the log splits or to the end of its stroke.
MAINTENANCE & STORAGE WARNING: DISCONNECT THE SPARK PLUG BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE. Consult the operating and maintenance instructions of the engine manufacturer for engine care. Always check the oil level of the hydraulic reservoir before operation. Operating without an adequate oil supply will cause severe damage to the pump. Change the hydraulic fluid in the reservoir after every 100 hours of operation. Periodically check that all nuts, bolts, screws, clamps and fittings are tight and secure.
SAFETY DECALS Replace decals immediately if damaged.

SWISHER HISTORY Back before electricity came to rural Missouri Max Swisher was producing lawn mowers from his mother’s chicken house. Max never liked to mow grass. He installed a gearbox on his family’s lawn mower creating a self-propelled unit. By tying one end of a rope to the mower and the other end to a tree in the center of the yard the mower circled the tree, shortening the rope and guiding the mower in concentric circles. Max enjoyed relaxing under a shade tree while his invention did all the work.
