Safety I 6

ENGINE SAFETY
This machine is equipped with an internal combustion engine.
Do
not use on or near any unimproved, forest covered, or brush
covered land unless the exhaust system
is equipped with aspark
arrestermeetingapplicable local, state,
or federal laws.
In
the state of California, a spark arrester is required by law.
Other states have similar laws. A spark arrester, if used, must be
maintained in effectiveworking
order bytheoperator.
Never
start or run the engine inside a closed area. The exhaust
fumes are dangerous, containing carbon monoxide,
an odorless
and
deadly gas. Operate this unit only in a well-ventilated
outdoorarea.
Do
not tamper with the engine to run it at excessive speeds. The
maximum engine speed is
preset by the manufacturer and is
within safetylimits. See engine manual.
Keep a Class Bfire extinguisher on hand when operating this log
splitterin
dry areas as aprecautionary measure.
FUEL SAFETY
Fuel is highly flammable, and its vapors can explode if ignited.
Take precautions
when using to reduce the chance of serious
personal injury.
When refilling or draining the fuel tank, use an approved fuel
storage container while in a clean, well-ventilated
outdoor area.
Do
not smoke, or allow sparks, open flames, or other sources of
ignition near the area while adding fuel or operating the unit.
Neverfill thefuel tankindoors.
Keep grounded
conductive objects, such as tools, away from
exposed, live electrical parts and connections to avoid sparking or
arcing. These eventscould ignitefumes or vapors.
Always stop
the engine and allow it to cool before filling the fuel
tank. Never remove
the cap of the fuel tank or add fuel while the
engine
is running or when the engine is hot. Do not operate the
machine with known leaks in thefuel system.
Loosen thefuel tank cap slowly to relieve anypressure in thetank.
Never overfill
the fuel tank. Fill the tank to no more than 1/2"
belowthe bottom of thefiller neck to providespace for expansion
as the heat of the engine can cause fuel to expand.
Replace all fuel tank and container caps securely and wipeupspilled
fuel. Neveroperatethe unit
without thefuel cap securelyin place.
7 I Safety
Avoid creatingasource of ignition for spilled fuel. If fuel is spilled,
do
not attempt to start the engine but move the machine away
from the area of spillage and avoid creating any source of ignition
until fuel vapors have dissipated.
When fuel
is spilled on yourself or your clothes, wash your skin
and change clothes immediately.
Store fuel in containers specifically designed and approved
for
this purpose.
Storefuel in acool, well-ventilated area, safely away from sparks,
open flames,
or other sources of ignition.
Never store fuel or a machine with fuel in the tank inside a
buildingwherefumes may reach aspark, open flame,
or any other
source of ignition, such as a water heater, furnace, or clothes
dryer.
Allow theengine to cool beforestoring in anyenclosure.
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM SAFETY
The hydraulic system of the machine requires careful inspection
along
with the mechanical parts. Be sure to replacefrayed, kinked,
cracked,
or otherwise damaged hydraulic hoses or hydraulic
components.
Hydraulic fluid
can result in severe burns. Fluid in the hydraulic
system can penetrate skin and result in serious
injury or death.
Be sure to stop the engine and relieve hydraulic pressure before
doingany
work on hydraulicparts.
Keep body and hands away
from pin holes or nozzles that expel
hydraulicfluid when under pressure.
Use paper or cardboard, not
hands, to search for leaks.
Ensure all hydraulic fluid connections are
tight and all hydraulic
hoses and lines are ingood condition before applying pressure
to
thesystem.
Do
not remove thecap from the hydraulictank or reservoir while
the machine is running. The tank could contain hot oil under
pressure, which could result in serious injury.
Do
not adjust the pressure setting on the hydraulic pump or
valve.
If injured byescapingfluid, no matter how small thewound is, see
a doctor at once. A typical injection injury may be a small wound
that does not lookserious. However, severe infection or reaction
can
result if proper medical treatment is not administered
immediatelyby adoctor who is familiar with injection injuries.
