Splitter

WARNING

Do not at any time make any adjustments without first stopping engine, disconnecting spark plug wire, and grounding it against the engine. Always wear safety glasses during operation or while performing any adjustments or repairs.

Higher pressure could cause the hoses to burst, cylinder to rup- ture, and intense fluid to be released, which could result in serious personal injury.

Figure 5-1

WARNING: Before cleaning, lubricating, repairing, or inspecting, disengage the control lever and stop engine. Disconnect the spark plug

wire and ground it against the engine to prevent unintended starting. Always wear safety glasses during operation or while performing any adjust- ments or repairs.

Conditions that Will Void Warranty

1.Failure to maintain proper fluid level in reservoir

2.Changing the relief valve setting or pressure adjust- ment of control valve without proper knowledge and instruction from the factory

WARNING: Higher pressure could cause the hoses to burst, cylinder to rupture, and intense fluid to be

released, which could result in serious personal injury.

3.Disassembling the pump

4.Use of incorrect hydraulic fluid

5.Lack of lubrication or improper lubrication of the beam or unit

6.Excessive heating of the hydraulic system

7.Attempting to start unit in temperatures under 20°F without pre-heating fluid in reservoir

8.Unattended leaks in hydraulic system

Hydraulic Fluid

•Check the hydraulic fluid level in the log splitter reservoir tank before each use. Maintain fluid level to just below the oil plug.

•Have the hydraulic fluid in the reservoir changed every 100 hours of operation. See your authorized service dealer to have the hydraulic fluid changed.

Beam and Splitting Wedge

•Lubricate top and bottom of the beam (where it comes into contact with the cylinder), before each use, with engine oil.

Hose Clamps (If Equipped)

•Check, before each use, if hose clamps on the suction hose (attached to the side of the pump) are tight. Check the hose clamps on the return hose at least once a season.

Engine

Refer to the Engine maintenance section for all mainte- nance instructions.

Changing the Belt

WARNING: Be sure to shut the engine off, disconnect the spark plug wire(s) and ground against the engine to prevent unintended starting before removing the belt.

The belt on your log splitter is subject to wear and should be replaced if any signs of wear are present.

IMPORTANT: The V-belt found on your log splitter is a non-clutching, constant tension belt. A substitute (non- OEM) V-belt can be dangerous. For a proper working machine, use factory approved belts.

To change or replace the belt on your log splitter, proceed as follows:

NOTE: This procedure requires the assistance of a second person.

1.Place the unit in the transport position on level ground as shown in Figure 5-1.

2.Disconnect the spark plug wire and ground it against the engine.

3.Drain gasoline or place a piece of plastic beneath the gas cap to prevent gasoline leakage.

4.Remove the belt cover by removing the six self-tap- ping screws that fasten it to the frame. See Figure 5-1.
