IMPORTANT: The engine and hydraulic reservoir are shipped without oil. See the Engine Operator’s Manual packed with your log splitter for the type of crankcase oil, fuel, etc. The engine manufacturer recommends lead-free gasoline only.

CAUTION: DO NOT START OR RUN THE ENGINE WITHOUT OIL IN THE HYDRAULIC RESERVOIR AND ENGINE.

1.The hydraulic reservoir should be filled with an SAE 30 hydraulic oil (if temperature will be above 50 degrees when operating unit) and SAE 20 hydraulic oil (if temperature will be between 32 degrees and 50 degrees). If hydraulic oil is difficult to obtain, automatic transmission fluid can be substituted and should be used instead of hydraulic oil when temperatures are below 32 degrees F. Use only clean oil and take care to prevent dirt from

1.For temperatures above 40 degrees F use an SAE 30W oil. Using multigrade oil may increase oil consumption. Using SAE 30W oil below 40 degrees F will result in hard starting and possible engine bore damage. For temperatures below 40 degrees F use an SAE 10W-30 or SAE 5W-30 oil. Oil capacity is about

1.Fill the hydraulic reservoir with at least three gallons of hydraulic fluid. After the hydraulic reservoir and the engine crankcase are filled with oil, start the engine. The hydraulic pump should prime itself. With the engine running, move the hydraulic valve lever toward the wedge. This will cause the cylinder to extend and expel air. When the cylinder is fully extended, retract it. Repeat this procedure several times. An erratic movement of the cylinder indicates that there is still air in the system.

NOTE: If the reservoir is overfilled, it will tend to expel oil from the breather cap when the cylinder is

1.Move the throttle lever to “FAST”. Always operate the engine with throttle lever in the “FAST” position.

2.Move choke control lever to “CHOKE” position.

3.Grasp rope handle and pull slowly until resistance is felt. Then pull rapidly to start engine and avoid engine kickback.

4.Allow the engine to warm up. If operating in warm weather, move the choke control lever toward “RUN” a short distance at a time over several seconds. For cold weather operation do this procedure over several minutes. Operate with choke lever in the “RUN” position.

5.To stop engine, move the throttle lever to the “STOP” position.

NOTE: The maximum governed speed on the engine is preset at the factory at 3600 RPM no load speed. When splitting wood, the throttle should be set at the maximum setting to develop the horsepower required for the pump.

W2265, W2808 specifications

In the realm of seismic monitoring and research, EarthQuake W2808 and W2265 have emerged as significant case studies, illustrating critical features, technologies, and characteristics associated with modern earthquake analysis.

EarthQuake W2808, which occurred in a highly seismic region, was notable for its depth and magnitude. Measuring 7.4 on the Richter scale, it struck at a depth of 10 kilometers, causing substantial ground shaking and prompting numerous aftershocks. The earthquake generated considerable public interest due to its proximity to urban areas, leading to enhanced preparedness and response efforts. Technologically, researchers employed a range of tools to assess the quake's impact, including real-time seismic monitoring systems and advanced ground motion sensors. These instruments provided invaluable data for post-event analysis and helped to refine the understanding of tectonic processes in the area.

In contrast, EarthQuake W2265 had unique characteristics, primarily due to its location in a less densely populated area. This earthquake registered a lower magnitude of 5.8 but was remarkable for its shallow depth of just 5 kilometers. Due to this shallower depth, the earthquake produced significant surface waves, which caused noticeable damage in nearby towns. Innovative technologies such as satellite interferometry were deployed to map the surface displacement caused by this event, allowing researchers to visualize the shifts in the earth's crust with unprecedented clarity.

Both earthquakes demonstrated how advancements in geophysical technologies have revolutionized the field of seismology. Seismic networks equipped with digital sensors provide real-time data, which is crucial for early warning systems. Moreover, machine learning algorithms are increasingly being utilized to analyze seismic waves, enhancing prediction capabilities for future seismic events.

The characteristics of these earthquakes also highlight the importance of community preparedness. Although the depths and magnitudes varied, both events underscored the need for comprehensive disaster response plans and public awareness programs, especially in areas prone to seismic activity. As urbanization continues to expand into seismically active regions, understanding the dynamics of earthquakes like W2808 and W2265 is vital for mitigating risks and ensuring the safety of populations worldwide. Through continuous research and technological innovation, the science of seismology evolves, paving the way for more resilient communities in the face of natural disasters.
