Operating Instructions Step 2: After the hydraulic reservoir and the engine crankcase are filled with oil, start the engine. The hydraulic pump is self-priming. With the engine running, move the hydraulic valve lever toward the foot plate. This will cause the cylinder to extend and expel air. When the cylinder is fully extended, retract it. Repeat this procedure several times. An erratic movement of the cylinder indicates that there is still air in the system. Add about 1.0 to 1.
Operating Instructions ! CAUTION CAUTION: Turn Fuel Shut Off Valve to the “Off ” position before towing to avoid flooding the engine. NOTE: The engine‘s maximum speed is factory preset at 3600 RPM as the no load speed. The throttle should be set at the maximum speed for wood splitting to reach the horsepower required for the pump. ! WARNING WARNING: Review safety information related to operation of the log splitter on pages 4-10 of this manual.
Operating Instructions NOTE: For operation in wooded areas, obtain a spark arrestor for the exhaust system. See the engine operating and maintenance manual and check with your authorized service center. See also Fire Prevention on page 9 of this manual. IMPORTANT: To extend the life of the hydraulic cylinder avoid bottoming out the wedge plate to the foot piece. To conform with industry safety recommendations the wedge stops 1/2 inches from the end of the stroke.
