Before Each Use-Inspection / Maintenance

		should be heeded at all times when inspecting or servicing the hydraulic
		components of the log splitter:
		 Stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug, and move all control valve handles
		back and forth to relieve pressure before changing or adjusting hydraulic system
		components such as hoses, tubing, fittings or other components.
		 NEVER check for leaks with your hand. Leaks can be located by holding a
		piece of cardboard or wood (at least two feet long) with your hand at one end
		and passing the other end over the suspected area (wear eye protection). Look
		for discoloration of the cardboard or wood.
		 NEVER adjust the pressure setting of the pump or valve.
		 If injured by escaping fluid, no matter how small the wound is, see a doctor at
		once. A typical injection injury may be a small puncture wound that does not
		look serious. However, severe infection or reaction can result if proper medical
		treatment is not administered immediately by a doctor who is familiar with
		injection injuries.
6. Hydraulic oil		Make sure hydraulic oil level is 1” from top of hydraulic tank with cylinder
	level	retracted. Fill as needed.
		Note: The log splitter comes filled with LIGHT 150-ISO 32 hydraulic oil. If the log
		splitter will be run for long periods of time in outdoor temperatures above 70oF, we
		recommend changing the hydraulic oil to DEXTRON III.
		WARNING: NEVER remove the hydraulic oil fill cap when the engine is
		running or hot. Hot oil can escape causing severe burns. Allow log splitter to cool
		completely before removing hydraulic oil fill cap.
7. Engine		Inspect and perform engine maintenance as directed in the engine manual.
8.	Spark arrestor	If the engine is equipped with a spark arrestor muffler, clean and inspect it regularly
	muffler	(follow spark arrestor manufacturer’s service instructions).
		Replace if damaged.
9.	Tires	Make sure tires are fully inflated and in good repair if you will be towing the splitter.
		See tire sidewall for recommended tire pressure.
		WARNING:

Do not over-inflate tires. Serious injury can occur if tire explodes.

When seating a bead after repair, do not exceed 30 PSI. Pressures higher than 30 PSI can cause the tire and wheel to rupture and explode.

10.Shields / guards Replace all guards and shields after servicing the log splitter.
