2. Remove the oil cap from the hydraulic reservoir.
3. Add 4.49 gallons of hydraulic oil AW32, AW46 & universal hydraulic oil are all acceptable typesof
fluid. Automatic transmission fluid should be used when operating in temperatures
below 32 degrees (all units are tested and have excess oil in the ram).
4. Check the hydraulic oil level.
5. Start engine and use the control lever to extend and retract wedge several times to remove air
from the lines.
6. With the wedge retracted, check hydraulic oil level again and fill if necessary.
DANGER
Log splitter engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless, poison gas.
Breathing carbon monoxide will cause nausea, dizziness, fainting or death. If you start to feel dizzy
or weak, get to fresh air immediately.
Operate log splitter outdoors only in a well-ventilated area.
DO NOT operate the log splitter inside any building, enclosure, or compartment.
DO NOT allow exhaust fumes to enter a confined area through windows, doors, vents, or other
openings.
DANGER CARBON MONOXIDE, using a log splitter indoors CAN KILL YOU IN MINUTES.
CAUTION
Fuel and fuel vapors are highly flammable and extremely explosive. Fire or explosion can cause
severe burns or death.
Unintentional startup can result in entanglement, traumatic amputation, or laceration. Only use
regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum 85 octane rating.
DO NOT mix oil and gasoline together.
Fill tank approximately ¼” below the top of the tank to allow for fuel expansion.
DO NOT fill fuel tank indoors or when the engine is running or hot.
DO NOT light cigarettes or smoke when filling the fuel tank.
WARNING
DO NOT remove the hydraulic oil fill cap when the engine is running or hot. Hot oil can escape
causing severe burns. Always allow the log splitter to cool completely before removing the
hydraulic oil cap. High fluid pressure and temperatures are created in the hydraulic log splitters.
Hydraulic fluid will escape through a pin-size hole opening and can puncture skin and cause
severe blood poisoning. Inspect hydraulic system regularly for possible leaks. Never check for
leaks with your hand while the system is pressurized. Seek medical attention immediately
if injured by escaping fluid. Make sure all fittings are tight and secure before applying pressure.
Relieve system pressure before servicing. Make sure the hydraulic hoses do not touch any hot
surfaces or cutting areas. Hoses need to be positioned where they are clear from the engine and
cutting wedge. To avoid serious bodily injury always inspect the hoses before operating the log
splitter.

10
USING YOUR LOG SPLITTER
1. DO NOT at any time carry passengers, sit, or stand on the log splitter.
2. Check the hydraulic oil level and visually inspect all hoses and attachments for problems.
3. Inspect the engine and make sure the engine oil level is correct.
4. Before towing the log splitter, the tires need to be fully inflated.
5. Refer to the vehicle owner’s manual for proper safety and towing instructions.
WARNING
Before operating or using the log splitter, review the instructions below and all safety information.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in property damage or injury to the operator or
bystanders.
WARNING
ALWAYS use the log splitter for its intended use.
ONLY use the log splitter to split wood logs, length wise with the grain.
NEVER modify, alter, or change the log splitter in anyway, modifications will void the
warranty.
NEVER attach a rope, cable, or other device to the control lever on the log splitter.
ONLY operate the log splitter in daylight.
NEVER leave the log splitter unattended while the engine is running.
DO NOT change the splitting position with the engine running. Contact with the muffler
can causeserious burns.
ALWAYS make sure the beam is in the locked position.
DO NOT let the beam drop as it could crush fingers or cause damage to the log splitter.
NEVER operate or let anyone else operate, the log splitter while under the influence of
alcohol, drugs,or medication.
TIRE WARNING
DO NOT over inflate tires. Serious injury can result if tires explode.
DO NOT tow the log splitter if the tires are worn or will not hold air.
DO NOT exceed the maximum 45 MPH towing speed.
TOWING WARNING
Serious injury or death can occur if towing safety rules are not followed.
Always use safety chains, secure, and lock the log splitter to the vehicle hitch before moving. Drive
safely. Be aware of the added length of the log splitter.
Never exceed the maximum travel speed of 45 mph. Never ride or transport cargo on the log
splitter.
Turn off the vehicle before leaving the log splitter unattended. Block the log splitter wheels to
prevent unintended movement.
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

11
6. The log splitter must have at least seven feet of clearance from combustible material. It
needsto be on a dry and level surface with good footing. Do not work on mud, ice, brush, or
snow. When using the log splitter, the work zone must be always maintained.
NOTE: Serious accidents can happen when other people are allowed inside the work zone.Keep
everyone else outside the work zone while operating the control lever.
7. Always wear safety gear, eye protection, gloves and work boots when operating the log
splitter.
8. Start the engine and make sure the log splitter is on level ground before operating.
NOTE: The hydraulic oil needs to be above 10°F (-12C°) before starting the engine. Cold hydraulic
oil can damage the hydraulic pump. If outdoor air temperature is below 32°F (0C°)
allow the log splitter to warm up by extending and returning the wedge several times before
splitting wood.
9. Put the support leg in the down position to prevent the log splitter from moving
duringoperation and block both tires.
10. Set the log splitter in either the horizontal or vertical position.
NOTE: HORIZONAL position is used for lighter logs that can easily be loaded onto the beam. The
VERTICAL position is used for either light logs or heavy logs that are difficult to load ontothe beam.
Back injury can result from lifting logs onto the log splitter if proper lifting techniques are not used.
11. Load a log onto the beam against the endplate (Max Log Length-26”).

12
12. Make sure hands are clear from the wedge and crush hazard areas.
13. Push control lever FORWARD by one hand to split the log.
14. Push control lever BACKWARD by one hand to return wedge to its original position.
15. Always keep work zone clean and free of split wood and debris.
CRUSH WARNING
Wedge can cut through skin and break bones. Keep both hands away from wedge and beam slide.
Serious accidents can happen when other people are allowed inside the work zone. Keep
everyone else out of the work zone while operating control lever.
DO NOT wear loose clothing. It can get tangled in moving parts of log splitter. Only use the log
splitter in daylight so you can see what you are doing.
CAUTION
If a log gets stuck, embedded, or will not split completely, push the control lever in the reverse
direction and allow the splitter to strip the log from the wedge.
If the log remains stuck, embedded, or will not split, turn the machine off and use a
sledgehammer and crowbar to remove the log.
ALWAYS keep hands clear of the log and wedge while it is retracting.
