COLD WEATHER START UP
The Cold Weather Clutch enables the engine to be started without having to pull through cold,
thickened hydraulic fluid. Simply pull the handle out into locked position. Start engine, let it warm up,
and release Cold Weather Clutch. After starting, assure that the lever has reengaged.
SPLITTER OPERATION
1.
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.
2.
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.
3.
Depress the valve lever so that the cylinder will drive the push block into the log. Extend the cylinder
until the log splits or to the end of its stroke. If the log has not completely split after the cylinder has
reached the end of its extension, retract the cylinder. NOTE: Leaving the valve in the "actuate" position
at the end of the stroke may damage the pump. Always use extra care when splitting logs with ends that
are not square.
NOTE:
To extend the life of the hydraulic cylinder, avoid "BOTTOMING OUT" the cylinder.
TOWING SAFETY
This unit should not be towed on any street, highway, or public road without checking the existing federal, local,
and state laws. Any licensing or modifications such as taillights, etc., need to comply with existing federal, local,
or state vehicle requirements is the sole responsibility of the purchaser. Obey all regulations when towing on
public roads and highways. See also
Turn the fuel shut-off valve if applicable OFF to prevent flooding of the engine while traveling.
Be careful when backing up. You can easily jack-knife your splitter.
TOWING AT NIGHT
The requirements for taillights are based on States regulations. Some states allow towing at night as
long as the towed equipment does not visibly impair the tow vehicle taillights. This is based on a state,
to state requirements. The customer is responsible for meeting the states requirements.
If a "Statement of Origin" is required in your state, see your local dealer to receive one.
HYDRAULIC SAFETY
The hydraulic system on your splitter requires careful inspection along with the mechanical parts. Be sure to
replace any frayed, kinked, cracked or otherwise damaged hydraulic components. Just because it isn't leaking
today doesn't mean that it will not fail tomorrow.
Fluid escaping from a very small hole can almost be invisible. Do not check for leaks with your hand. Escaping
fluid under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate skin causing serious personal injury or even death.
Leaks can be detected by passing a piece of cardboard or wood over the suspected leak and looking for
discoloration. IF injured by escaping fluid, see a doctor a t once. Serious infection or reaction can develop if
proper medical treatment is not administered immediately.
Should it become necessary to loosen or remove any hydraulic fittings, lines or reservoir cap, be sure to relieve all
pressure by shutting of the engine and moving the control handle back and forth several times.
NEVER remove the cap from the hydraulic tank or reservoir while the unit is running. Hot oil under pressure
could result in serious injury. See also
The pressure relief valve on your splitter is preset at the factory. DO NOT adjust the valve. Only a qualified
technician should perform this adjustment.
