1. Stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug and ground it against the engine before cleaning, or inspecting the
machine. NEVER perform any service or repair on your log splitter without first removing the spark plug wire.
2. Stop the engine and relieve hydraulic system pressure by cycling the valve control lever from forward to reverse
several times while engine is not running. Return it to neutral before repairing or adjusting fittings, hoses, tubing,
or other system components.
3. ALWAYS perform all recommended maintenance procedures before using your log splitter.
4. ALWAYS check the level of hydraulic oil and engine oil before operation.
5. ALWAYS periodically check that all nuts, bolts, screws, hydraulic fittings and hose clamps are tight to be sure
equipment is in safe working condition.
6. ALWAYS replace all damaged or worn parts immediately with original equipment manufacturer’s (O.E.M.) parts
only. Use of parts which do not meet the original equipment specifications may lead to improper performance
and compromise safety.
7. The hydraulic system of your log splitter requires careful inspection along with the mechanical parts. Be sure to
replace frayed, kinked, cracked or otherwise damaged hydraulic hoses or hydraulic components.
8. NEVER check for leaks of hydraulic fluid with your hand. Fluid escaping from a small hole can be almost
invisible. Escaping fluid under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate skin causing SERIOUS INJURY
or even DEATH. Leaks can be safely detected by passing a piece of cardboard over the suspected area and
looking for discoloration.
9. NEVER remove the cap from the hydraulic tank or reservoir while the log splitter is running. The tank could
contain hot oil under pressure which could result in serious injury.
10. NEVER adjust the hydraulic valve. The pressure relief valve on your log splitter is preset at the factory. Only a
qualified service technician should perform this adjustment.
11. ALWAYS seek professional medical attention immediately if injured by escaping hydraulic fluid. Serious
infection or reaction can develop if proper medical treatment is not administered immediately.
12. ALWAYS be sure to relieve all pressure by shutting off the engine and moving the valve control handle back
and forth should it become necessary to loosen or remove any hydraulic fitting.
NEVER alter your log splitter in any manner. Such alterations may cause
your log splitter to be unsafe and will void the warranty.
