This splitter is conceived for splitter short and long logs for firewood
preparation only BEWARE; no cross. grain splitting is permitted .
Always split grain-wise.
When placing the log on the log splitter make sure that the chunk
rests entirely and safely on the riffle-plate table
Any other use or splitting method is considered by the manufacturer
as misuse. In case of misuse the manufacturer will not be held
entirely responsible.
Please make sure to comply with these set-up .operation and
maintenance/repair instructions in order to avoid happening
of any injury or dangerous condition .
BEWARE: this unit has a log capacity of min 70 mm and max 350 mm diameter.
Danger! Keep clear of moving parts!
2.2 APPLICATION CONDITIONS
This log splitter is designed for operating under ambient temperatures
between +5℃and 40℃and for installation at altitudes no more than
1000m above M.S.L. The surrounding humidity should less than
50%at 40℃.It can be stored or transported under ambient temperatures
between -25℃ and 55℃.
2.3
Never dismantle and reassemble the log splitter by yourself unless
you are a professional engineer. Otherwise, the self-assembling may
lead to some dangers as below:
(1)Oil leak (3)gasoline engine & pump damage
(2)No pressure (4)pressure is too big for cylinder endurance etc.
3. Operating instructions
3.1 Hand-
g
uards assembl
y
Uncrate and assemble the special hand-
g
uards on the hand control
levers before first use and installation.
The two hand control levers must be fixed to the two hand
g
uards ,
that means the hand levers and hand
g
uards must be assembled
as a whole with screws, then install them to
g
ethe
r
to the machine fo
r
operation. Make sure to ti
g
ht all screws after complete
g
uard assembl
y
.
3.2 H
y
draulic specs
The machine is equipped with own h
y
draulic oil tank located inside
the base-stand and is supplied b
y
the manufacture with a first oil fill.
BEWARE: a leanin

y
result into
oil leaka
g
e from the oil plu
g
.
A
t low ambient temperature the oil in the h
y
draulic circuit will thicken.
In this case, it is recommended to avoid sudden start-up
(
splittin
g
without warmin
g
the
g
asoline en
g
ine up
)
that could result into dama
g
es and
trouble of the h
y
draulic s

stem..
To assure trouble free operation of the h
y
draulic s
y
stem at
low ambient temperature, let the
g
asoline en
g
ine run idle and c
y
cle the

unit several times till the oil in the h
y
draulic loop warms up.
Settin
g
of the main control valve is done at manufacture
r
before
shippin
g
. The unit comes to
y
ou read
y
fo
r
service so
that no other ad
j
ustment/installation work is required othe
r
than
assembl
y
of the hand-
g
uards on the control levers.
3.3 Initial check
(
before operatin

splitte
r
is equipped with safet
y
two-hands
mechanical controls desi

the entire splittin
g
c
y
cle.
It is stron
g
l
y
recommended to check the operation of
the two-hands control ever
y
time before a new use.
To do so, en
g
a
g
e both hand levers and hold them down at the same
time until the ram slides all the wa
y
down. If
y
ou
r
s
y
stem is dul
y
set ,
the wed
g
e stops upon releasin
g
o
r
j
ust one of the two levers
while the ram stops completin
g
its up/down stroke at once.
On the othe
r
hand, the ram must recommence its upwards travel
to the initial start position
(
all the wa
y
up
)
as soon as the other levers
is also released.
Make sure that the ram does not travel down when operatin
g
onl
y
one sin
g
le lever.
Check that both leve
r
sprin
g
back into thei
r
normal position when
the hand pressure is released
3.4 Start-up
Before first use, make sure that the lo
g
splitte
r
is in
g
ood conditions
and that no visual dama
g
es are there.
Check all h
y
draulic hoses, fittin
g
s and couplin
g
and to detect and
repai
r
eventual oil leaks.
Make sure that all safeties and protections are dul
y
assembled on
the machine. Do not attempt to remove o
r
b
y
pass these safeties!
Make sure the that the lo
g
splitte
r
will not be dama
g
ed o
r
made
unsafe b
y
an
y
operation, lubrication, maintenance, o
r
repair
procedures that
y
ou choose .Should an
y
trouble o
r
unusual
behavio
r
be detected, do not start splittin
g
wood until these
have been fixed.
3.5 WARNING
1）The location
y
ou choose for
y
our machine should be flat, dr
y
,and
sold. Check around lo
g
splitte
r
fo
r
hazards. Make sure that the area
is free of slipper
y
surfaces and ob
j
ects to over. Slipper
y
and ic
y
floo
r
conditions must be dul
y
treated to assure solid standin
g
conditions.
A
lso there are two holes on the two sides of
g
round table of lo
g
splitter,
the
y
can be used for fixin
