OPERATION￿

1.￿ Set￿up￿the￿log￿splitter￿in￿a￿clear,￿level￿area￿and￿block￿the￿wheels.￿￿The￿suction￿port￿on￿the￿tank￿ should￿always￿be￿on￿the￿lower￿side￿of￿the￿log￿splitter.￿

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

3.￿ Depress￿the￿valve￿lever￿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.￿￿NOTE:￿￿￿

Leaving￿the￿valve￿in￿the￿“actuate”￿position￿at￿the￿end￿of￿the￿stroke￿may￿damage￿the￿pump.￿

STANDARD￿HORIZONTAL￿TO￿VERTICAL￿

The￿Standard￿Splitter￿has￿2￿operating￿positions:￿￿Horizontal,￿Vertical.￿

Remove￿pin￿from￿below￿beam.￿￿Do￿not￿remove￿bolt￿and￿nut.￿￿Rotate￿beam￿into￿vertical￿position￿and￿pin￿ so￿beam￿cannot￿fall￿into￿horizontal￿position.￿

DO￿NOT￿TOW￿IN￿VERTICAL￿POSITION!￿

IMPORTANT:￿￿When￿operating￿splitter￿in￿wooded￿areas,￿obtain￿a￿spark￿arrestor￿for￿the￿exhaust￿system.￿ See￿your￿local￿engine￿dealer.￿

￿

When￿preparing￿logs,￿cut￿ends￿as￿square￿as￿possible.￿￿The￿maximum￿length￿of￿any￿logs￿should￿be￿only￿ 24”.￿

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.￿
