1.The log splitter is equipped with high speed road tires, a Class II coupler (1-7/8” diameter ball required) and a safety chain. Before towing, the safety chain must be secured to the hitch or bumper of the vehicle and the kickstand rotated to the road position. Local regulations should be checked regarding licensing, lights, towing, etc. See also Towing Safety in the Safety information section of this manual.

WARNING: ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES DURING OPERATION!

WARNING: KEEP HANDS AND FEET CLEAR OF RAM, STRIPPER CHANNELS AND FOOT PLATE AT ALL TIMES.

WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE LOG SPLITTER WITH LESS THAN 1/2” OF HYDRAULIC OIL IN RESERVOIR.

1.Set up the log splitter in a clear, level area and block the wheels. Make sure that the suction port on the reservoir is always on the lower side of the log splitter.

2.Place a log on the beam against the foot plate. Make sure that the log is securely on the foot plate and up against the beam.

3.Depress the control valve handle so that the cylinder will drive the wedge 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.

IMPORTANT: 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 not square.

NOTE: For operation in wooded areas, obtain a spark arrestor for the exhaust system. See the Engine Operator’s Manual and check with your authorized Tecumseh or Briggs & Stratton service center. See also Fire Prevention in the Safety information section of this manual.

IMPORTANT: To extend the life of the hydraulic cylinder, avoid “bottoming out” wedge plate to the foot piece. To conform with industry safety recommendations, the wedge stops two inches from the end of the stroke.

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.
