the hydraulic log splitters. Hydraulic uid can escape
through a pin-size hole opening and can puncture
skin and cause severe blood poisoning. Inspect
hydraulic system regularly for possible leaks.
NEVER check for leaks WITH YOUR HAND while
the system is pressurized. Check for hydraulic uid
leaks by passing a piece of paper or cardboard
underneath or over the area of the leak. Seek
medical attention IMMEDIATELY if injured by
escaping uid.
Make sure all ttings are tight and secure before
applying pressure.
Relieve system pressure before servicing.
Make sure the hydraulic hoses do not touch any hot
surfaces or cutting areas.

Before operating or using the log splitter, review the instructions below and all safety information. Failure
to follow these instructions may result in property damage or injury to the operator or bystanders.
Use the log splitter only for its intended use of splitting wood.
When changing the splitter from vertical to horizontal operation, do not let the beam suddenly drop. Keep
hands and fingers clear of pinch or crush points at all times.
When operating in the vertical position, make sure the beam lock pin engages the beam to prevent
inadvertent movement.
Use the log splitter to split wood logs length wise with the grain.
Never modify, alter or change the log splitter in any way.
Never attach a rope, cable or other device to the control lever on the log splitter.
Operate the log splitter only in daylight with good light and visibility.
Do not leave the log splitter unattended while the engine is running.
Do not change the splitting position with the engine running. Contact with the muffler can cause
serious burns.
Never operate or let anyone else operate, the log splitter while under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or
medication.
Serious injury or death can occur if towing safety rules are not followed.
Before towing the log splitter, check tires for excessive wear, cuts or damage. Check for proper tire
inflation. Add air as required. Do not over inflate tires. Serious injury can result if tires explode.
Verify the correct ball size of 2 inches is on the towing vehicle.
Refer to the vehicle owner’s manual for proper safety and towing instructions.
Always use safety chains, secure and lock the log splitter to the vehicle hitch before moving. Drive safely.
Be aware of the added length of the log splitter.
Never exceed the maximum travel speed of 45 mph.
Never ride or transport cargo on the log splitter.
Turn off the vehicle before leaving the log splitter unattended. Block the log splitter wheels to prevent
unintended movement.
1. Make sure all safety guards are in place and all nuts and bolts are secure.
2. Always wear safety gear, eye protection, gloves and work boots when operating the log splitter.
3. Make sure the machine is on a dry and flat surface. Block the wheels to prevent movement. Do not operate
on slopes greater than 5 degrees. (See Slope Guide)
4. Lock the beam in the horizontal or vertical position.
5. Check oil level in engine crankcase and the hydraulic tank. See your Engine Owner’s manual for
procedure and specifications.
6. Visually inspect all hoses and attachments for leakage and security.
7. Inspect air cleaner for cleanliness. See your Engine Owner’s manual for procedure.
8. Check the fuel supply. Fill the fuel tank no closer than 1/2” (12.7 mm) from top of tank to provide space for
expansion. See your Engine Owner’s manual for fuel recommendations.
9. Be sure spark plug wire is attached and spark plug is tightened securely.
10. Look for signs of damage to machine and engine.
11. Remove excessive debris from engine guards and muffler area.
12. The log splitter must have at least seven feet of clearance from combustible material. It needs to be on a
dry and level surface with good footing. Do not work on mud, ice, brush or snow. When using the log splitter
the work zone must be maintained at all times.

The hydraulic oil needs to be above 10°F (-12C°)
before starting the engine. Cold hydraulic oil
can damage the hydraulic pump. If outdoor air
temperature is below 32°F (0C°) allow the log splitter
to warm up by extending and returning the wedge
several times before splitting wood.
1. Put the support leg in the down position and install
lock pin. Block both tires to prevent the log splitter
from moving during operation.
2. Set the log splitter in either the horizontal or
vertical position and lock with pin.
3. Load a log onto the beam against the endplate.
Grasp the log from the sides and not the ends.
(Max Log Length-26”). (See fig. 11)
4. Make sure hands are clear from the wedge and
crush hazard areas.
5. Using one hand, push control lever forward to split
the log.
6. Using one hand, pull control lever backward to
return wedge to its original position.
7. Always keep work zone clean and free of split wood
and debris.

NOTICE
CAUTION
NOTICE
The HORIZONTAL position is used for lighter logs that
can easily be loaded onto the beam. The VERTICAL
position is used for either light logs or heavy logs that
are difcult to load onto the beam.
Back injury can result from lifting logs onto the log
splitter if proper lifting techniques are not used.
Figure 11
WARNING
Wedge can cut through skin and break bones. Keep
both hands away from wedge and beam slide. Serious
accidents can happen when other people are allowed
inside the work zone. Keep everyone else out of the
work zone while operating control lever.
DO NOT wear loose clothing. It can get tangled in
moving parts of log splitter. Only use the log splitter in
daylight so you can see what you are doing.
WARNING
To avoid hand or nger injury, always keep hands clear
of the log and wedge while it is retracting. Always keep
ngers away from any cracks that open in the log while
splitting. They can quickly close and pinch or amputate
your ngers.
If a log gets stuck, embedded or will not split
completely, push the control lever in the reverse
direction and allow the splitter to strip the log
from the wedge.
