CAUTION: Engine damage
The log splitter has been shipped WITHOUT oil. Any attempt to start log splitter without oil may result
in engine damage and failure.
• Engine oil is a key factor in deciding the engine’s performance. DO NOT use engine oil with
additives or 2-stroke gasoline oil, as they lubricate properly, which may shorten the engine’s
service life.
• Check the engine oil level with the generator stopped on a level ground.
• Due to viscosity variances with regions and temperatures select the correct type of oil using the
chart below.
Engine oil recommended: SAE10W-30
Capacity: 0.63 US quarts (0.6L)
