Before Starting

Oil Fill-Up

Only use high quality detergent oil rated with APi service classification SF, SG or SH. Select

the oil'sviscosity grade according to the

expected operating temperature. Follow the chart below.

NOTE: Although multi-viscosity oils (514/30, 10W30, etc.) improve starting in cold weather, these mu/tiviscosity oils will result in increased oil

consumption when used above 40°1:. Check the oi/ level more frequently to avoid possible engine damage from running low on oil.

&WARNING: SAE 30 oil, if used below 40°F, will result in hard starting and possible

engine bore damage due to inadequate lubrication.

NOTE: If the unit was shipped with oil in the engine, check the oil level and refill ff necessary.

Fill engine with the appropriate oil as follows:

•Remove oil fill dipstick.

•With log splitter on level ground, use a funnel to fill engine oil to FULL mark on dipstick. Capacity is approximately 26 ounces. Be careful not to overfill.

•Replace the dipstick on to the engine and tighten. Then remove the dipstick again and wipe off the oilfrom the end of the dipstick with a clean cloth.

•Screw the dipstick firmly back to place. Remove to check the oil level.

Refill oil to FULL mark on dipstick if necessary. Replace dipstick and tighten.

Gasoline Fill-Up

Remove fuel cap. See Figure 6.

Make certain the gasoline container isclean and free from rust or foreign particles. Never use gasoline that may be stale from long periods of storage in the container.

Fill fuel tank with about one gallon of clean, fresh, lead-free grade automotive gasoline. DO

NOT use Ethyl or high octane gasoline. Replace fuel cap.

&WARNING: Do not fill closer than 1/2 inchof top of fuel tank to prevent spills and to allow

for fuel expansion. If gasoline is accidently spilled, move log splitter away from area of spill. Avoid creating any source of ignition until gasoline vapors have disappeared.

Reservoir Fill-Up

Remove reservoir vent plug. See Figure 8. Fill the reservoir tank to about 2" from the top with 7 gallons of Dexron III automatic transmission fluid, or 10W non-foaming hydraulicfluid. Replace vent plug securely.
