RESERVOIR￿FLUID￿ ￿

Check￿the￿hydraulic￿fluid￿level￿in￿the￿reservoir￿tank￿before￿each￿use.￿￿Operating￿without￿an￿adequate￿oil￿ supply￿will￿cause￿severe￿damage￿to￿the￿pump.￿￿Change￿the￿hydraulic￿fluid￿in￿the￿reservoir￿per￿ manufacturers￿recommendations.￿￿￿

￿

Be￿aware￿of￿the￿environment￿when￿disposing￿of￿used￿petroleum￿products.￿￿Please￿dispose￿of￿used￿ hydraulic￿fluid,￿engine￿oil￿and￿any￿by￿products￿from￿the￿maintenance￿of￿your￿log￿splitter￿at￿ approved￿recycling￿centers.￿

￿

Should￿it￿become￿necessary￿to￿loosen￿or￿remove￿any￿hydraulic￿fitting￿or￿line,￿be￿sure￿to￿remove￿all￿ pressure￿by￿shutting￿off￿the￿engine￿and￿moving￿the￿control￿handle￿back￿and￿forth￿several￿times.￿

￿

NEVER￿remove￿the￿cap￿from￿the￿hydraulic￿tank￿or￿reservoir￿while￿your￿unit￿is￿running.￿￿Hot￿oil￿ under￿pressure￿will￿cause￿injury.￿

￿

Always￿store￿gasoline￿in￿an￿approved,￿tightly￿sealed￿container.￿Store￿container￿in￿a￿dry,￿cool￿place.￿￿Keep fuel￿away￿from￿gas￿appliances￿where￿fumes￿could￿contact￿open￿flame,￿pilot￿lights￿or￿sparks.￿

￿

Do￿not￿operate￿your￿splitter￿in￿poor￿mechanical￿condition￿or￿when￿needing￿repair.￿￿Repair￿and￿replace￿ worn￿or￿broken￿parts￿immediately.￿

￿

Periodically￿tighten￿nuts,￿bolts,￿and￿hydraulic￿fittings.￿

￿

The￿hydraulic￿system￿of￿your￿log￿splitter￿requires￿careful￿inspection,￿along￿with￿the￿mechanical￿parts.￿￿Be sure￿to￿replace￿frayed,￿kinked,￿or￿otherwise￿damaged￿hydraulic￿components.￿

￿

The￿pressure￿relief￿valve￿on￿the￿splitter￿is￿preset￿at￿the￿factory.￿￿Do￿not￿adjust￿valve.￿￿Only￿a￿qualified￿ service￿technician￿should￿perform￿this￿adjustment.￿
