Instructions / Assembly

ADD OIL TO ENGINE
1. Make sure the log splitter is on a at, level surface.
3. Using a funnel, add oil up to the FULL mark on the dipstick.
(See engine manual for oil capacity, oil recommendation, and
location of ll cap.)
The engine is shipped without oil. Do not start the
engine before adding oil.
Gasoline is highly ammable and explosive. You can
be burned or seriously injured when handling fuel.
Use extreme care when handling gasoline.
Fill the fuel tank outdoors, never indoors. Gasoline
vapors can ignite if they collect inside an enclosure.
Explosion can result.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT OVERFILL!
This equipment and/or its engine may include
evaporative emissions control system components,
required to meet EPA and/or CARB regulations, that
will only function properly when the fuel tank has
been filled to the recommended level. Overfilling
may cause permanent damage to evaporative
emissions control system components. Filling to the
recommended level ensures a vapor gap required to
allow for fuel expansion. Pay close attention while
lling the fuel tank to ensure that the recommended
fuel level inside the tank is not exceeded. Use a
portable gasoline container with an appropriately
sized dispensing spout when lling the tank. Do not
use a funnel or other device that obstructs the view
of the tank lling process.
DO NOT OVERFILL. Check engine oil level daily and
add as needed.
1. The engine must be off and allowed to cool at least two minutes
before adding fuel.
2. Remove the fuel ller cap and ll the tank. (See engine manual
for fuel capacity, fuel recommendation, and location of fuel cap.)
3. Reinstall the fuel cap and tighten. Always clean up spilled fuel.

OPERATION
Many accidents occur when more than one person
operates the log splitter.
If a helper is assisting in loading logs to be split, never
operate the controls until the helper is clear of the
area.
2. Remove the oil ll cap/dipstick
to add oil.
CLOSEDOPEN
LOG SPINNER FOOT PLATE
The foot plate holds the log in place while the wedge
splits the log.
The foot plate allows the operator to easily spin a log
in prep for splitting and allows the log to rotate when
splitting instead of causing unnecessary stress on the
beam.
It is easy to replace when the grip teeth are damaged.
No repair welding is required.
2-POSITION LOG CRADLE
The log cradles are designed to catch the log after it is split.
2-position function – The first positon is to center
logs on the beam. The second position provides a at
surface and worktable on which to put logs.
SPLIT CONTROL HANDLE
The control handle is used to move the wedge up
and down to split logs. The control handle has three
positions: Forward, Neutral, and Reverse. See the
“operation”
section for instruction.
MANUAL TUBE
Keep manuals safely in the tube.
BEAM LOCK BRACKET
The beam lock bracket is used to secure the beam in
the horizontal position.
LIFTING HANDLE
The lifting handle is included for easy transition from
horizontal to vertical.
2” BALL HITCH COUPLER
The coupler hitch is at the end of the tow bar and
attaches to a tow ball for transportation purposes.
4-WAY WEDGE
The 4-way wedge is used to split the log into four
pieces at one time.
LOG STRIPPER
The log stripper is designed to remove any partially
split wood from the wedge. This may occur while
splitting large diameter wood or freshly cut wood.
BEAM ASSEMBLY
The U-beam structural design is signicantly stronger
than a typical I-beam design.
LOG TABLE (OPTIONAL)
A log table/platform can be mounted on the log cradle
directly.
ENGINE ON/OFF SWITCH
The engine switch has two positions. OFF - engine will
not start or run. ON - engine will start and run.
RECOIL STARTER HANDLE
The handle is used to start the engine.
FUEL SHUT-OFF VALVE
The fuel shut – off has two position.
CLOSED
(
)
- use this position to service, transport, or store the
unit.
OPEN
(
) - use this position to run the unit.
CHOKE CONTROL
The choke control is used to choke the carburetor and
assist in starting the engine. The choke control slides
between the
CHOKE CLOSED
and
CHOKE OPEN
positions.
THROTTLE CONTROL
The throttle control regulates the speed of the engine
and will shut off the engine when it is moved to the
STOP
position. The throttle control moves between
FAST
,
SLOW
, and
STOP
positions.
