EZ Split Quick Reference Guide

Congratulations on your purchase of a new Brave log splitter.
The Brave EZ Split log splitter is powerful, portable, easy to operate, and stores in a min-
imum of space. It is the perfect log splitter for homeowners with fireplaces and wood
stoves, and ideal for transporting to hunting, fishing, or camping sites in a van, SUV, or
pick-up truck.
Compared to a conventional sized log splitter, the EZ Split is one third the size, and at
138 pounds, it is one fourth the weight. But don't let the size fool you. The 3.5 HP Brig-
gs and Stratton engine and heavy-duty hydraulic system delivers 8 tons of splitting force,
plenty to split logs up to 18 inches in diameter and 18 inches long. An attractive powder
coat finish provides the finest protection against the elements, and Brave's rigid quality
control and component testing help ensure years of productive, reliable service.

The following is a list of safety rules you must follow in order to use your log split-
ter safely.
General
To avoid personal injury or death, carefully read and understand all instructions
pertaining to the Brave Products’ log splitter.
Do not attempt to operate or maintain our product without fully understanding all
our instructions and safety precautions. Do not operate the log splitter unless
you read and understand the instructions and warnings in this manual. If any
doubt or question arises about the correct or safe method of performing any-
thing found in this or other Brave Products’ manuals, contact your Brave Prod-
ucts’ dealer or call the Sales and Service representatives at our main head-
quarters. Proper care is your responsibility.
Accidents can often be avoided by being alert and recognizing potentially haz-
ardous situations. Any individuals operating, maintaining, or repairing products
manufactured by Brave Products should have the necessary training, skills, and
tools required to perform these functions properly and safely. The safety infor-
mation in this manual serves as a basic guide in an attempt to prevent injury or
death.
Brave Products cannot anticipate every possible circumstance that might
involve a potential hazard. The warnings in this manual and on the product
itself are, therefore, not all inclusive. If tools, procedures, work methods, or
operating techniques that are not specifically mentioned by Brave Products are
used, you must satisfy yourself that they are safe for you and for others. Make
sure the log splitter will not be damaged or made unsafe by any operation, lubri-
cation, maintenance, or repair procedures that you choose.

SafetySafety

✘Only use your hand to operate the control lever. NEVER use your foot, knee, a
rope, or any other extension device.
Log Splitting Safety
✔Always keep your fingers away from cracks that open in the log during the split-
ting operation.
✔ALWAYS make sure that both ends of the log you are splitting are cut as square
as possible. This will prevent the log from sliding out of position while under
pressure. Logs should be 18 inches or shorter in length.
✘Never pile logs to be split in a manner that will cause you to reach across the
log splitter.
Maintenance and Repair
✔Follow all safety rules because most accidents involving the operation, main-
tenance, or repair of products occur because the owner/operator failed to
observe basic safety rules or operating instructions.
✔ALWAYS inspect your log splitter before each use. Make sure all nuts, bolts,
screws, hydraulic fittings, hose clamps, etc. are securely tightened.
✔ALWAYS check the oil level in the hydraulic oil tank and engine reservoir.
✘NEVER operate your log splitter when it is in need of repair or is in poor
mechanical condition.
✘NEVER tamper with the engine to run it at excessive speeds. The maximum
engine speed is preset and is within safety limits.
✘NEVER make alterations to your log splitter in any manner. Such alterations
may cause the log splitter to become unsafe and WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.
✘NEVER attach a rope or extension to the control lever or add width or height to
the splitting wedge. SuchALTERATIONS may cause the log splitter to become
UNSAFE and WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.
✘ALWAYS clean the unit after each use. If possible, store the unit inside or cover
it completely if stored outside.
Operating Safety
✔ALLOW ONLY ONE (1) PERSON TO LOADAND OPERATE THE LOG SPLIT-
TER.
✔Allow only adults to operate the log splitter - no one under the age of 18.
✔Always keep bystanders, including children and pets, at least twenty-five (25)
feet away from the work area. Only the operator should stand near the equip-
ment and only within the safe operating area prescribed in this manual (see the
photos on safe and unsafe operating zones in the “Operation” section.)
✔When the ram of the log splitter is in the return mode, keep your hands off the
machine — the log splitter is designed to automatically stop when the cylinder
is fully retracted.
✔ALWAYS disconnect the spark plug wire when the log splitter is not in operation.
✘Do not allow any person to operate the log splitter until they have read and
understood the safe operating instructions contained in this manual.
✘Do not, under any circumstances, alter your log splitter. This equipment was
designed and engineered to be used in accordance with the operating instruc-
tions. Altering the equipment, or using the equipment in such a way as to cir-
cumvent its design capabilities and capacities, could result in serious or fatal
injury and WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.
✘Never operate, or allow anyone else to operate, this equipment while under the
influence of medication, drugs, or alcohol.
✘Never wear loose clothing or jewelry that may get caught or become entan-
gled in the log splitter.
✘NEVER place hands or feet between log and splitting wedge or between log
and ram during the forward or reverse stroke.
✘DO NOT STRADDLE OR REACH ACROSS THE SPLITTING AREA WHEN
OPERATING THE LOG SPLITTER.
✘Do not step over your log splitter when the engine is running because you may
trip or accidentally engage the ram.
✘NEVER attempt to load your log splitter while the ram is in motion.

gasoline.
✔ALWAYS use an approved fuel container to carry gasoline.
✔ALWAYS replace the log splitter gas cap and the fuel container cap securely.
✔If gasoline is spilled, move the machine away from the area of the spill and
avoid creating any source of ignition until the spilled gasoline has completely
evaporated.
✔Take a class B fire extinguisher with you when operating the log splitter in dry
areas as a precautionary measure against possible flying sparks.
✔Always store gasoline in an approved, tightly-sealed container. Store the con-
tainer in a cool, dry place. Do not store the container in a house or near any
heating appliance.
✘Do not smoke or have open flames when refueling the engine. Do
not spill fuel. If fuel should spill, quickly wipe up the spill and allow
the excess to evaporate before continuing. Make sure
gasoline-soaked rags are properly disposed of.
✘DO NOT fill the gas tank while the engine is hot or running. Allow time for the
engine to cool down before refueling.
Preventing Fires
✘NEVER operate the log splitter near a flame or spark. Oil and gasoline are
flammable and can explode.
✘NEVER smoke while operating or refueling the log splitter. Gasoline, oil, and
even gas fumes can explode.
Important Notice
The log splitter is equipped with an internal combustion engine and should not
be used on or near any unimproved forest-covered, brush-covered, or grass-
covered land unless the engine’s exhaust system is equipped with a spark
arrester meeting local or state laws (if any). If a spark arrester is used, it
should be maintained in effective working order by the owner and/or operator.

Assembly Instructions Assembly Instructions

4. Fill the engine’s fuel tank with fresh, clean, lead-free automotive gasoline. Fill to
approximately 1-1/2” below top of neck to allow for expansion. This Briggs & Stratton
engine is a 4-cycle engine. DO NOT mix oil with gasoline. Using a gasoline/oil mix-
ture in a 4-cycle engine can cause engine damage.
5. Now start the engine according to the engine manufacturer’s instruction. (See engine
manual.)
- Move the throttle to FAST and the control lever to CHOKE.
- Pull the starter cord and start the engine.
- Allow the engine to warm up, then adjust the choke towards the RUN position
until the engine runs smoothly.
Keep all body parts away from the slide area when cycling the cylinder.
6. Push the valve control handle, with one hand, to the forward (extend) position
(towards the front of the cylinder). When the push plate is fully extended, push the
valve control handle to the retract position and retract the cylinder piston. The cylin-
der valve will automatically stop the cylinder from retracting when it reaches the end
of its stroke. Fully cycle the cylinder 2 to 3 times.
NOTE: Extending and retracting the cylinder piston draws the hydraulic fluid through the
system and expels any trapped air in the system.
7. Turn off the engine.
8. Slowly add the remaining two quarts of oil and/or fill the hydraulic tank until oil is vis-
ible in the bottom of the oil fill elbow. Do not overfill the hydraulic tank. Screw on
and tighten the oil fill cap.
9. Check all fittings and hoses for leaks and tighten as needed. Your log splitter is now
ready to use.
WARNING
Important Notice
Follow all the instructions listed below before starting or operating your log splitter. Fail-
ure to do so may result in engine and hydraulic pump damage. Also read the Briggs &
Stratton Operating & Maintenance Instructions. If you do not have this manual, contact
Briggs & Stratton at 800-233-3723 to obtain another one or download a copy from their
web site at www.briggsandstratton.com.
1. Remove the cap from the hydraulic tank.
Using a long-neck funnel, slowly pour one
gallon (or 4 quarts) of SAE 10W tractor
hydraulic oil or automatic transmission
fluid, such as Dextron III, into the hydraulic
tank. Pour the oil slowly, allowing air to
escape as you fill the tank. Screw on the
cap and hand tighten.
NOTE: The total hydraulic system oil capaci-
ty for this unit is 1.5 gallons (6 quarts).
2. Lubricate the underside of the rail with
grease. This will help to prevent wear
between the slide plates and the rail.
3. Fill the engine’s crankcase with 20 ounces,
or approximately 2/3 of a quart, of the
engine manufacturer’s recommended oil.
Pour slowly and fill to the point of overflow-
ing. You may want to use a long-neck fun-
nel to help reach the fill opening.
10W 30 is a general purpose motor oil,
however refer to the Oil Chart in the engine
manual for different viscosities and types to
use for different Starting temperatures.
Be careful not to spill fuel when filling the engine. If fuel should spill,
quickly wipe off and allow the excess fuel to evaporate before continu-
ing. Fuel and fuel vapors are highly flammable and can cause personal
injury or even death when ignited.

Start-up Procedure Start-up Procedure

3. Use the following photos for the correct
and incorrect methods of splitting logs.
Never split a log using an incorrect or
unsafe method.
a. Place the log on the log splitter. Grasp
the log on the sides near the middle of
the block. Center the log, side-to-side,
on the rail of the log splitter, making
sure that the sawed end is against the
splitting wedge.
Do not place your hands on the
ends of the log when loading the
log splitter. This is a very
UNSAFE method and could result in injury
to your hands.
Do not reach or step across the
rail while the log splitter is run-
ning. This is a very UNSAFE
method which could cause personal injury
or even death.
WARNING
WARNING
Do not attempt to operate the log splitter without fully understanding
all our instructions, safety precautions, and warnings. If any doubt or
question arises about the correct or safe method of performing any-
thing found in this or other Brave Products’ manuals, contact your
Brave Products’ dealer or call the Sales and Service representatives at our main
headquarters. Proper care is your responsibility.
Before loading and operating the log splitter, put on
the proper protective gear, such as safety goggles,
face shield, hearing protection (ear muffs or ear
plugs), tight-fitting gloves (without drawstrings or
loose cuffs), and steel-toed shoes.
When operating the log splitter, make sure you are in the safe operating zone, as shown
in these pictures. You must stay in the safe operating zone at all times when the push-
er plate is in motion (whether extending or retracting). Never place any part of your body
into a position which would cause an unsafe operating condition.
1. Set your log splitter on flat, dry ground.
Make sure you read all the recommenda-
tions from the “Safety” section, before
using the log splitter.
2. Start the engine using the instructions from
the engine manual. If the log splitter has
not been running (cold engine), warm up
the engine and hydraulic system by run-
ning the engine at half throttle for 3 to 4
minutes, then advance the engine throttle
control to maximum speed.
Make sure you stay clear from the
engine’s exhaust. Hot exhaust is
intense and can cause serious injury.

Operation Operation

5. Hold the control lever, extending the push-
er plate, until the log is split or the cylinder
rod stops at its maximum travel position.
Stop the log splitter (forward movement),
at any point in the splitting process, if you
feel an unsafe log splitting condition is
occurring. As the log is being split, DO
NOT reach forward and attempt to catch
the split wood — let it fall to the ground.
6. Once the pusher plate reaches its full for-
ward travel, pull back on the control lever
to the full retract position. The ram of the
cylinder will automatically retract into the
cylinder.
It is not necessary to hold the control lever
as the cylinder retracts. Stop the pusher
plate if the log sticks (see caution below).
When the cylinder is fully retracted, the
control valve will automatically shift to a
neutral position.
Depending on the type of wood being split, a log may not always split
into two pieces and fall to the ground. If a log sticks to the wedge or
pusher plate, place the valve handle in the neutral position (stop the
pusher plate from retracting), stop the engine, and carefully remove the log from
the wedge or pusher plate. Allowing the log to remain attached to the pusher
plate when it is fully retracted could lead to possible injury and/or damage to the
log splitter.
CAUTION
b. Make sure both ends of the log you
are splitting are cut as square as pos-
sible. This will prevent the log from
sliding out of position while under
pressure. All logs should be 18 inches
long or shorter.
Never attempt to split wood across the
grain. The log splitter was not designed
for cross-grain splitting. Doing so will
damage the log splitter and may cause
personal injury.
4. Using only your hand, push the control
lever forward (towards the log). If the log
moves, before it is contacted by the push-
er plate, release the control lever and then
reposition the log. Operate the log splitter
only when in the safe operating area, as
shown in the picture.
If you find you must hold the log
until the pusher plate touches it
and holds it in place, be very
careful not to put your hand between the
log and the pusher plate or the log and the
splitting wedge. If you must, hold the log
on top and in the middle. Remove your
hand immediately when the pusher plate
engages the log. Never use your knee or
any extension device to operate the valve
control handle.

Operation Operation

General Maintenance Check (before operating)
The hydraulic system (hoses, cylinder, and pump) should be carefully inspected before
each use. Also, inspect the mechanical parts at the same time. Make sure all clamps,
nuts, bolts, fittings, etc. are properly installed and tightened.
Do not check for leaks with your hand. Leaks can be located by pass-
ing a piece of cardboard or wood around the suspected leak and look-
ing for discoloration. High-pressure fluid escaping from a very small
hole can be almost invisible. Escaping fluid under pressure can have
sufficient force to penetrate skin, causing serious injury or even death.
If fluid is injected into your skin, it must be treated immediately by a doc-
tor familiar with this type of injury.
Always replace frayed, kinked, or cracked hoses and/or other damaged hydraulic com-
ponents with Brave Products’ authorized parts and components specified in the “Parts”
section of this manual. Replacement parts from secondary suppliers (not original Brave
replacement parts) can lead to product damage and/or personal injury, and WILL VOID
THE WARRANTY.
Do not remove the cap from the hydraulic tank or reservoir while the log
splitter is running. Hot oil, under pressure, could be expelled resulting
in serious injury.
Should it become necessary to loosen or remove any hydraulic fitting or line, be sure to
relieve all hydraulic pressure by shutting off the engine, removing spark plug wire, and
moving the valve control handle back and forth several times until no cylinder movement
is visible.
Engine Service
Refer to the engine manufacturers manual for engine maintenance and repair.
Storage
Refer to the engine manufacturers manual for engine storage. No special procedures
are required for the hydraulic system to store the log splitter.
CAUTION
WARNING
7. DO NOT load another log or remove split
pieces until the pusher plate has com-
pletely stopped and the control handle
automatically returns to the neutral posi-
tion.
Splitting Large Logs
When splitting a large log, or one in which the
wood is extremely tough or stringy (such as
elm), the first pass through the splitter may
not split the log into two sections. If this hap-
pens, turn the log and split off small sections.
Repeat this process as necessary to split the
entire log.

DO NOT mix tractor hydraulic oil with transmission fluid. Use one or the other.
3. Refill the hydraulic tank.
a. Remove the hydraulic tank fill cap and
fill the tank with the recommended
type and quantity of oil.
b. Replace the cap.
4. Drain and fill the piston end of the
cylinder.
a. Hold the valve handle in the retract
position and pull the engine pull start
cord until the rod is fully retracted.
This step removes the old oil from the
piston end of the cylinder.
b. Reconnect the return hose to the oil
tank.
c. Extend the cylinder by holding the
valve handle forward and pulling on
the engine’s pull start cord until the
cylinder is completely extended. This
step refills the piston end of the cylin-
der.
5. Start the engine and cycle the cylinder.
a. Replace the spark plug and spark plug
wire.
b. Start the engine and cycle the
cylinder several times.
c. Retract the cylinder and shut off the
engine.
d. Recheck the hydraulic tank to make
sure oil is visible in the bottom of the
oil fill elbow.
Hydraulic Oil Change
Brave Products recommends an oil change every 100 hours of operation. Refer to the
“Specifications” section in this manual for the type and quantity of oil.
Important Notice
Never run the log splitter unless the hydraulic oil tank is full.
1. Drain the hydraulic tank.
a. Place a waste oil container under the
inlet hose.
b. Remove the inlet hose from the tank.
c. Completely drain the tank.
d. Reconnect the inlet hose to the tank.
2. Drain the head end of the cylinder.
a. Remove the spark plug wire and spark
plug to help reduce the back pressure
on the engine and to prevent it from
starting.
b. Disconnect the return hose (low-pres-
sure hose with hose clamp) from the
hydraulic tank and place it in a waste
oil container (Please properly dispose
of the waste oil per local regulations).
c. Extend the cylinder by holding the
valve handle forward and pulling on
the engine’s pull start cord until oil
from the return line stops flowing.
This step drains the head end of the
cylinder.
d. Do not reattach the low pressure hose
at this time.

Inspection and Maintenance Inspection and Maintenance

The following section details procedures for checking your log splitter, should you
encounter a malfunction. Brave Products, Inc. recommends that you do not attempt to
make repairs to the log splitter. In the long run, it is better to take your log splitter to a
servicing lawn and garden dealer for repairs.
Problem: When the control handle is pushed forward (extend), the pusher plate does
not move.
1. Check the hydraulic tank to make sure the oil level is visible in the bottom
of the fill elbow.
2. Remove the pump from the engine flange. Check the coupler, making
sure the drive keys are in place and there is no damage to the urethane
spider.
3. Disconnect the pusher plate from the cylinder. Grasp the hydraulic cylin-
der shaft and try to pull it out. If the rod comes out easily, you will need to
rebuild or replace the cylinder.
4. Once you have determined that the engine-to-pump coupler is intact and
the cylinder is in good condition, you will need to replace the pump.
Problem: The engine stalls when the pusher plate engages the wood.
1. The engine may not be properly adjusted. Take the engine to a service
center for repair and/or adjustment.
2. If all engine settings are correct, replace the pump.
Problem: The pusher plate moves slowly, but will split wood.
1. Check the oil level in the hydraulic tank and fill if necessary.
2. Check the high-pressure hose, fittings, and valve openings for dirt and
debris that may have obstructed the openings.
3. If the ram speed is still slow, replace the pump.
Problem: The ram will not automatically retract.
1. Check the slide rail or pusher plate for damage.
2. Push the valve handle to the retract position. If the handle will not stay in
this position, contact the factory.
Problem: Oil squirts from the fill plug during operation.
1. The oil tank may be over-filled. Drain oil to the bottom of the fill elbow.
2. The log splitter is not level. Make sure the log splitter is on level ground.

Cortadora EZ Split: Guía de referencia rápida

Felicitaciones por la compra de una nueva cortadora de troncos Brave.
La cortadora EZ Split de Brave es poderosa, portátil, fácil de manejar y se puede guardar
en un espacio reducido. Es la cortadora de troncos perfecta para las casas de familia que
poseen hogares y cocinas a leña, resulta ideal para llevar en una van, una camioneta pick-
up o un vehículo utilitario deportivo cuando uno sale de caza, de pesca o va a acampar.
En comparación con una cortadora de troncos de tamaño convencional, la EZ Split tiene
un tercio del tamaño y pesa sólo 63k (138 libras), es decir, un cuarto del peso habitual.
Pero no se deje engañar por el tamaño de esta máquina. El motor Briggs and Stratton
de 3,5 hp y el sistema hidráulico de alto rendimiento proporcionan una fuerza de corte
de 8 toneladas, suficiente para cortar troncos de hasta 45,72cm de diámetro y 42,75cm
(18 pulg.) de largo. Una terminación atractiva, de pintura en polvo, le proporciona la
mejor protección disponible, y el estricto procedimiento que utiliza Brave para poner a
prueba sus componentes y verificar su calidad ayuda a garantizar años de servicio con-
fiable y productivo.
