INSPECT
√Closely inspect all components and ensure all exterior bolts are
tightened.
√Contact the freight company that delivered the unit to report delivery
damage.
INSPECT
√Choose a level surface to operate the firewood processor.
√Block the firewood processor wheels to prevent unintended
movement.
√Position muffler at least 7 feet from combustible objects.
ADD FLUIDS
√Engine is shipped without oil.
√Before starting engine, fill with SAE 10/30 motor oil.
√See engine manual for engine oil capacity.
√Hydraulic reservoir is shipped without oil.
√When adding oil, use the dipstick to gauge amount.
√Approximately 5 gallons of AW Type Hydraulic Oil only.

OPERATION
√You must be 16 or older to operate this machine.
√Never tow or operate this processor while under the influence of
alcohol, drugs or medication.
√Wear safety glasses and hearing protection, tight-fitting safety gloves
and steel-toe boots.
√Keep untrained people out of work zone.
√Only operate the firewood processor in daylight.
√Never leave the log processor unattended, while the engine is running.
√Never wear loose clothing when operating the firewood processor.
√Serious accidents can happen when other people are allowed inside
the work zone.
√Keep everyone else out of the work zone while operating the
firewood processor.
TOWING
√Be aware of the added length
of the firewood processor.
√Never ride or transport cargo
on the firewood processor.
Wood processor collapsed storage.
√Drive the vehicle with the wood
NOTE:For towing, wheel wood be raised
Processor securely attached
and leg would be reinserted from top

High-pressure hydraulic fluid can inject under skin
resulting in serious injury, including amputation.
Ensure all fittings are tight before apply pressure.
Relieve system pressure before servicing.
Do not check for leaks with hand.
Seek immediate medical help if skin if punctured.
RISK OF FIRE & EXPLOSION
√Hot exhaust fumes from engine can cause fire.
√Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive.
√You can be burned or seriously injured when handling fuel.
√Before adding fuel, stop the engine and keep heat,sprks,
and flame away. Do not add fuel when engine is running or still hot.
√Do not smoke near the engine while fueling.
√Do not pump fuel directly into engine at gas station. Static charge can
build and ignite fuel.
√Use a safety approved fuel container to transfer gas to the engine.
√Wipe up fuel spills immediately.
√Only store and handle fuel outdoors. Gasoline vapors can ignite if
they collect inside and enclosure. Explosion may result.
√Do not change or add to exhaust system. Fire may result.
√Do not touch the muffler as you may get burned.
√Poisonous fumes from engine can kill you. Do not operate indoors.

IDENTIFICATION
Key components of your Wood Processor
1. Safety Screen: Stops hydraulic operations when screen is raised.
2. Log Deck: The log deck is angled to help keep the log against the
deck wall without operator assistance.
3. Coupler: Attaches the firewood processor to your vehicle.
4. Front Wheel: Used for moving on even, stable ground.
5. Saw Bar Handle: Use the saw bar handle to draw the chain saw down,
run the chain, and to move the splitter block forward.
6. Tires: See Specifications for size, max. speed by model.
7. Engine: Air-cooled, powers hydraulic pump.
8. Gear Pump: Moves hydraulic oil through system.
9. Leg: Helps support the firewood processor while operating. Should be
pulled out of the sleeve and reinserted from top down while towing.

OPERATION
1. Preset the cut-off length using the measuring bar. Loosen the 2 wing
nuts and slide the bar to the correct position. Re-tighten the wing nuts.
2. Load a log onto the log cradle and slide into processor until the end of
the log touches the measuring bar.
3. Open the ball valve to start the flow of bar oil.
4. Pull the Saw Bar Handle down to engage the chain.
5. Gently pull the Saw Bar Handle downwards with the chain running
and cut through the wood.
6. The cut piece will drop into the splitter area, raise Saw Bar Handle
and ram will engage.
Note: If the log drops in a wrong direction, use Ram Stop to stop the
cylinder operation and fix log.
7. Once the log has been pushed through the splitter,
The ram will automatically retract.
8. Repeat Steps above to split more logs.
Stub Piece
When a stub piece needs to be
cut, make sure to cut the short
piece off, so that the longer
piece is on log deck. This
keeps hands away from
moving chain.

INSPECTION
Check the following components EACH TIME the Processor is
used.
What How
HOSES Inspect for exposed wire mesh and leaks.
Replace all worn or damaged hoses before
starting engine.
HYDRAULIC FITTINGS Inspect for cracks and leaks. Replace all
damaged fittings before starting engine.
NUTS&BOLTS Visually Check for loose bolts.
MOVING PARTS Clear debris.
RAM VALLEY Clean Sawdust from slider area after every
use to prevent possible jamming Grease Ram
slider & saw chain engagement roller/pad
every use.
CHAIN Check saw chain for sharpness and correct
tension.
BAR OIL Ensure Bar Oil tank is full.
CONVEYOR If Conveyor Belt is not centered on pulleys,
use adjusting bolts to correct position of belt.
MAINTENANCE
Before maintenance, the Processor must be placed in maintenance mode:
√Turn off engine.
√Move the saw bar handle down and up multiple times to relieve hydraulic pressure
After performing maintenance, make sure all guards, shields, and safety features are put back in
place. Failure to follow this warning can result in serious injury. Refer to the engine owner’s
manual for engine maintenance.

9
Every 10Hours of Operation
√Nuts & Bolts: Tighten all bolts, including motor mounts & large nut
on hydraulic ram.
√Grease: Grease 3 conveyor bearings as well as wheel hubs and log
rollers.
√Engine Oil: Check level and cleanliness use 10/30 oil.
√Hydraulic Oil: Check level and cleanliness use AW Series Hydraulic
Oil only.
√Air Filter: Check & clean engine air filter if necessary.
Failure to do regular maintenance will void warranty. Only use AW Series
Hydraulic Oil. Use of any other oil will Void All Warranties.
TROUBLESHOOTING
