1.Consult the operating and maintenance instructions of the Engine Operator’s Manual for engine care and maintenance.

2.Always check the oil level of the hydraulic reservoir before operation. Operating the log splitter without an adequate oil supply will cause severe damage to the hydraulic pump.

3.Change the oil filter after the first 25 hours of operation. Thereafter, change the oil filter every 100 hours or seasonally, whichever comes first.

4.If the wedge becomes dull or nicked, it can be removed and sharpened. While the log splitter is in the horizontal position, remove the 1/2” x 3-1/2” bolt (4362) that connects the wedge to the hydraulic cylinder. Carefully rotate the hydraulic cylinder, take special care not to damage the control valve. The wedge can now be removed and sharpened.

5.Refer to the Repair and Maintenance Safety section of this manual.

6.All replacement parts must meet manufacturer’s specifications.

7.Check air pressure of tires before each use. Maintain pressure between 20 psi and 30 psi.

1.Rotate the beam to the vertical position after the log splitter has been moved to its storage location. Ensure that the locking pin for the vertical position has been fully engaged.

2.While a second person balances the beam vertically, unbolt the tongue from the reservoir. Save the nuts and bolts. Rotate the tongue 90 degrees and stand it on the end that was previously bolted the reservoir. Re-install the two nuts and bolts that were removed in Step 1. Refer to Figure 9.

3.To return the unit to its functional state, follow the Steps in reverse order.

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.
