Gasoline
CAUTION
Operating the engine with E85 fuel, an oil/gasoline mixture, dirty
gasoline, or gasoline over 30 days old that has not been stabilized us-
ing a fuel additive, may result in damage to your engine's carburetor.
Subsequent damage would not be covered under the manufacturer's
warranty.
Use automotive gasoline (unleaded or low leaded to minimize combus-
tion chamber deposits) with a minimum of 87 octane. Gasoline with
up to 10% ethanol or 15% MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether) can be
used. Never use an oil/gasoline mixture or dirty gasoline. Avoid getting
dirt, dust, or water in the fuel tank. DO NOT use E85 gasoline.
WARNING
An adult should fuel this engine. NEVER allow children to refuel this
engine. Gasoline (fuel) vapors are highly flammable and can explode.
Fuel vapors can spread and be ignited by a spark or flame many feet
away from engine. To prevent injury or death from fuel fires, DO NOT
use leaded fuel, Fuel must be fresh and clean. NEVER use fuel left
over from last season or stored for long periods, NEVER mix oil with
fuel and DO NOT use fuel containing Methanol (Wood Alcohol).
1.
Before refueling, allow the engine to cool for two minutes.
2.
Be sure engine is outdoors and in a well-ventilated area.
3.
Clean area around the fuel fill cap and remove the fuel fill cap.
4.
Using an approved red GASOLINE container, add fuel slowly,
being careful to avoid spilling.
5.
Fill the tank until the fuel reaches the "fuel full" indicator mark.
See Figure 9.
6.
Replace the fuel cap and tighten securely. Wipe up spilled fuel be-
fore starting engine. If fuel is spilled DO NOT start engine. Move
machine away from area of spillage. Avoid creating any source of
ignition until fuel vapors are gone.
7.
Be sure fuel valve is open.

PREPARING THE LOG SPLITTER
1.
Lubricate the beam area (where the splitting wedge will slide) with
engine oil. Do not use grease.
2.
Remove the vented reservoir dipstick, which is located in front of
the engine on top of the reservoir tank. See Figure 10.
NOTE: The log splitter is filled to the proper operating level from the
manufacturer with Shell Tellus® S2 M 32 Hydraulic Fluid. However, you
MUST check the fluid level before operating. If not filled, proceed with the
following steps:
Much of the original fluid has been drawn into the cylinder and hoses.
If the reservoir is empty or low, make certain to refill it to prevent
damage to the hydraulic pump.
3.
Check the fluid level using the dipstick. See Figure 8. Do not
overfill.
4.
Replace the vented dipstick securely, tightening it until the top of
the threads are flush with top of the pipe.
5.
Disconnect the spark plug and prime the pump by pulling the
recoil starter as far as it will go. Repeat approximately 10 times.
6.
Reconnect the spark plug wire and start the engine following the
instructions in the Operation section.
7.
Use the control handle to engage the wedge to the farthest
extended position. Then retract the wedge.
8.
Refill the tank as specified on the dipstick.
NOTE: Failure to refill the tank will void the splitter's warranty.
9.
Extend and retract the wedge 12 complete cycles to remove any
air trapped in the system (the system is "self-bleeding").
10. Refill the reservoir within the range marked on the dipstick.
NOTE: Some fluid may overflow from the vent plug as the system
builds heat and the fluid expands and seeks a balanced level.
