This Safety Alert Symbol indicates important messages in this

manual. When you see this symbol, carefully read the message that

follows and be alert to the possibility of personal injury.

Read this manual completely. This machine can amputate hands, feet, and throw

objects. Failure to observe the following safety instructions could result in serious

injury or death

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

•Read the manual. Learn to operate this equipment in a safe manner.

•Do not under any circumstances alter this log splitter. This equipment was designed

and engineered in accordance with operating instructions. Altering this equipment,

or using this equipment in such a way as to circumvent its design capabilities and

capacities, could result in serious injury or fatality and WILL VOID THE

WARRANTY.

•Allow only responsible adults who have read this manual to operate this machine.

Never allow children to operate this machine.

•Never use splitter for any other purpose than splitting wood. Any other use can

result in injury. Your splitter is a precision piece of power equipment, not a toy.

Therefore, exercise extreme caution at all times.

•Only a single operator is to load and operate the log splitter. Keep all others,

including pets and children, a minimum of 20 feet away from your work area. More

accidents occur when more than one person operates the log splitter than any other

time.

•Always wear protective gear such as safety goggles, protective hearing device, steel-

toed shoes, and tight-fitting gloves without drawstrings or loose cuffs.

•Never wear loose clothing or jewelry that can be caught by moving parts of the

splitter and pull you into it. Keep hair away from moving parts.

WARNING: The engine exhaust from products contains chemicals known to the state of

California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.

DANGER: Your log splitter was built to be operated according to the rules for safe operation in

this manual. As with any type of power equipment, carelessness or error on the part of the

operator can result in serious injury. If you violate any of these rules, you may cause serious

injury to yourself or others.

•Familiarize yourself with all of the controls in a safe environment before starting to work with this

machine.

•Fluid escaping from a very small hole can be almost invisible. Do not check for leaks with your

hand. Escaping fluid under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate skin, causing serious

personal injury. Leaks can be located by passing a piece of cardboard or wood over the suspected

leak and looking for discoloration. IF injured by escaping fluid, see a doctor at once. Serious

infection or reaction can develop if proper medical treatment is not administered

immediately.

•Split only one log at a time. Never attempt to split two logs on top of each other.

•Do not straddle or reach across the splitting area while operating the splitter.

•Do not step over splitter when the engine is running. You may trip or accidentally activate the

splitting wedge. Walk around to get to the other side.

•Never place hands or feet between log and splitting wedge or between log and ram during forward

or reverse stroke.

•Never attempt to load splitter while splitting wedge is in motion. When loading log splitter, place

hands on the sides of the log, not the ends.

•Only use your hands to operate the control lever. Never use foot, knee, rope or any extension

device.

•Always keep fingers clear of splits that open in log during splitter operation.

•When splitter is in the return mode, keep hands off the machine.

•Only operate splitter on level ground, not on the side of a hill. It could tip or rolling logs, poor

footing, etc. could cause an accident.

•Never operate or allow someone to operate this equipment while under the influence of alcohol or

drugs.

•Always block the wheels to prevent movement while using splitter.

•Never operate your splitter on wet, muddy, or icy surfaces. Safe footing is essential in preventing

accidents.

•

•Never make adjustments or repairs with the engine running.

•Never attempt to split woods across the grain. Some types of wood may burst or fly out of your

splitter and result in injury.

•Both ends of the log should be cut as squarely as possible to prevent the log from riding out of the

splitter during operation. Log length should be kept to 24” or less.

MOVING SAFETY

• Do not allow persons to ride on splitter. Do not carry any cargo or wood on your splitter.

•Be sure the Kick Stand is up and out of the way before transporting. Retract kickstand by

removing pin , rotating up, and replacing the pin

•Never exceed 5 MPH with your splitter. Be cautious when traveling over rough terrain.

•Be aware of the extra width of the splitter while turning, parking , and all driving situations.

Intended use: This log splitter is intended and designed to only split wood. NEVER use for any

other purposes. Doing so can cause injury or VOID THE WARRANTY.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

This log splitter has been assembled at the factory. Refer to the drawings and part lists should it

become necessary to disassemble the unit for repair or replacement of parts. Inspect all components

for damage.

IMPORTANT: This unit is shipped without hydraulic oil, after cycling the splitter wedge several

times to purge the air, check the oil reservoir and bring to a safe level.

WARNING: Exercise extreme caution, as parts are very heavy. Sufficient persons or mechanical

handling equipment should be used.

•General Assembly: Remove top, sides and ends of crate. Cut all retaining straps and remove the

lag bolt that secures the kickstand to the pallet. Attach splitter to skid steer and lift off of the

pallet.

•Check both the horizontal and vertical positions for any “kinks” in the hoses. Note: Always make

sure beam is locked securely into place.

See OPERATING POSITIONS for Horizontal to Vertical Splitting

START UP

OPERATION

•Set up the log splitter in a clear, level area.

•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.

•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.

OPERATING POSITIONS

Changing Splitting Positions

The Splitter has 2 operating positions: Horizontal to Vertical positioning. With ample height to

allow kickstand to clear ground, rotate the splitter assembly to position the pivot tube to a

horizontal position. Lift the pin from below the beam to disengage. Rotate beam into the vertical

position and engage the pin to lock the beam in place.

CAUTION When rotating the beam from Vertical to horizontal, be sure that the hydraulic hose

does not get pinched.

WARNING: THE LOG SPLITTER BEAM IS HEAVY AND CAN PINCH HANDS/FING

ERS IF

CARE IS NOT TAKEN.

Raise pin to disengage beam lock

Vertical Position

Horizontal Position

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

only 24”.

READ AND FOLLOW THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS IN THIS MANUAL.

MAINTENANCE & STORAGE

WARNING: Disconnect spark plug before performing any maintenance or making adjustments.

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

manufactures 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.

Do not operate your splitter in poor mechanical condition or when needing repair. Repair and replace

worn or broken parts immediately.

Periodically tighten nuts, bolts, and hydraulic fittings.

The hydraulic system of your log splitter requires careful inspection, along with the mechanical parts.

Be sure to replace frayed, kinked, or otherwise damaged hydraulic components.

The pressure relief valve on the splitter is preset at the factory. Do not adjust valve. Only a qualified

service technician should perform this adjustment.

If the wedge becomes dull or nicked, it can be removed and sharpened. The wedge is heavy and may

still have sharp edges, wear gloves while handling the wedge.
