ASSEMBLY AND OPERATION
UNPACKING
When unpacking, make sure that the item is intact and undamaged. If any parts are missing or broken,
please call XtremePowerUS at 1-909.628.0880 to obtain a replacement part.
PLEASE NOTE: The Log Splitter is heavy; use care and proper lifting techniques when move the Log
Splitter.
ASSEMBLY
To assemble, insert one Jack Handle (3) into each of the sockets on the Ram (9). See Figure 1, above.
The Splitting Operation - Additional Safety Instructions:
1. Hold the bark side of logs when loading or positioning, never the ends. Never place your hands or any
body parts between a log and any part of the Log Splitter.
2. NEVER load or unload logs while the Ram (9) is moving.
3. DO NOT pile logs to be split in a place that will make you reach across the Log Splitter in order to load
4. Log ends that are not cut square can slide out while splitting and cause a safety hazard or cause
excessive force to Log Splitter components. Use a chainsaw (not included) to cut logs square on each end
before attempting to split them.
5. NEVER attempt to split more than one log at a time. A piece of log can unexpectedly be thrown from the
machine, causing severe personal injury.
6. DO NOT use the Log Splitter to split logs across the grain. Doing so will damage the Log Splitter and
could also cause pieces of log to be thrown, injuring the operator or bystanders.
NOTE: Note: Many accidents occur when there is more than one person involved in loading and operating
the Log Splitter. Only one person should operate at a time. If a second person is assisting in loading logs,
NEVER allow an assistant to hold the log in place while the operator pulls on the Jack Handles.

OPERATION
5
TO OPERATE:
1. Grip one Handle in each hand and pump the
Handles in a back-and-forth stroke motion. See
illustration.
2. This action will force the log against the Wedge
Base and split the log.
3. Remove the split pieces.
4. Turn Handle Wheel (36A) counter-clockwise
no more than one full turn to retrieve the Ram.
See Figure 2.
5. Turn Hand wheel clockwise until snug.
6. When nished, store the Log Splitter with the
Hand Wheel turned counter-clockwise one turn
to relieve the hydraulic pressure built up during
use.
TO REMOVE A STUCK LOG:
1. A log can be stuck on the Wedge Base if the Wedge becomes embedded in the log and the log doesn’t
completely split and separate. This can happen if the log is too stringy or tough to split completely. If this
happens, follow the directions below.
2. WARNING! Never attempt to remove a stuck log by doing the following: • Using the hydraulic force of
the Log Splitter. • Modifying the Log Splitter. • Adding attachments to the Log Splitter.
3. WARNING! Personal injury could result from log or metal pieces ying out at high speed toward the
operator or bystanders, or the Log Splitter could become damaged.
4. Fully retract the Ram the remove the stuck log from the wedge manually with a pry bar.
5. DO NOT attempt to re-split a stuck log once it has been removed from the Wedge. Manually split with a
maul, or cut with a chainsaw.
WARNING! Remove Split Logs: Move each split log away from the Log Splitter. Split logs left near the Log
Splitter are a tripping hazard.
TO BLEED THE LOG SPLITTER:
1. Extend Ram to its maximum length.
2. Remove the Oil Plug (6A) and top off oil.
3. Turn Hand-wheel counter-clockwise as fast as possible.
Piston Rod (18A) will retract into Ram and push air out of
Cylinder (23A) via Oil Plug hole. Top off oil as needed.
4. Replace the Oil Plug and repeat steps 1-3 as needed.
5. To add oil, remove the Oil Plug and add oil to just below
the Fill Plug. Then Replace Oil Plug.
