60ton Petrol & Diesel Log Splitter Assembly, Installation, Care, Maintenance useage Instruction Manual
1.0 DISCLAIMER
Congratulation on purchasing your new 60 ton Yukon log
splitter
This log splitter is designed to split wood logs using a
hydraulically powered moving wedge. The log splitter’s petrol
or diesel powered engine is used to pressurize the hydraulic
system.
This log splitter is designed to split logs only. (Lengthwise with
the grain) and not for any other purposes.
Your splitter can be used in either a vertical or horizontal
splitting position:
HORIZONTAL SPLITTING POSITION
• When the splitter is setup to operate in the Horizontal
splitting position, a log is placed on the horizontal beam
and the wedge moves horizontally into the end of the log
to split it.
VERTICAL SPLITTING POSITION
• When the splitter is setup to operate in the Vertical
splitting position, the log is placed on the endplate,
upright on its end, and the wedge moves down into the
top of the log to split it.
The horizontal splitting position is used for lighter logs that
can be easily loaded onto the beam. The vertical splitting
position is used for heavier logs that are dicult to load onto
the beam.
The technical specifications for your log splitter are provided in
the Specifications section (Page 37) of this manual.
All persons to whom you rent, loan or use this the log
splitter must have access to and read this manual.

2.0 SAFETY & INSPECTION CHECK
• Always inspect your log splitter before each use, and repair
as needed, to keep it in a safe working condition.
• Always make sure the engine is o before cleaning,
repairing or adjusting the splitter, except as recommended
by the manufacturer.
• Debris on a hot engine can be a fire hazard. With the
engine o, clean debris and cha from engine cylinder
head, cylinder head fins, blower housing rotating screen,
and muer areas.
• Avoid contact with hot muer.
• Debris on moving parts can cause excess wear. With the
splitter engine o, clear debris from moving parts.
• Before each use, check fuel tank and fuel lines for any
leaks. Any fuel leak is a fire hazard. Fix any fuel leaks before
starting engine.
• Check to be sure that all nuts and bolts are tight to make
sure the log splitter is in safe working condition.
• Check the hydraulic system (hoses, tubing, clamps fittings,
pump, and cylinder) carefully before each use. Do not
operate the log splitter with frayed, kinked, cracked or
damaged hydraulic hoses, fittings, tubing or if oily residue
is observed on any of the components.
• High fluid pressures and temperatures are developed in
the log splitter.
• Hydraulic fluid escaping through a pinhole sized opening
can bum or puncture skin, resulting in wounds that could
cause blood poisoning, infection, disability, gangrene,
amputation, or death.
• Do not remove the hydraulic oil dipstick when the engine
is running. Hot oil can escape causing severe bums.
• Allow log splitter to cool completely before removing
hydraulic oil dipstick.
• Do not adjust the pressure setting of the pump or valve.
• Do not check for leaks with your hand. Leaks can be
located by holding a piece of cardboard or wood (at least
50cm) with your hand at one end and passing the other
end over the suspected area (wear eye protection). Look
for discoloration of the cardboard or wood.
• Stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug, and move
all control valve handles back and forth to relieve
pressure before changing or adjusting hydraulic system
components such as hoses, tubing, fittings or other
components.
• If injured by escaping fluid, no matter how small the
wound is, see a doctor at once. A typical injection injury
may be a small puncture wound that does not look
serious* However, severe infection or reaction can result if
proper medical treatment is not administered immediately
by a doctor who is familiar with injection injuries.
• If the engine is equipped with a spark arrestor muer,
clean and inspect it regularly (follow manufacturer’s
service instructions). Replace if damaged.
• Be sure tires are fully inflated and in good repair before
towing the splitter. When adding air to tires, do not over-
inflate — serious injury could occur if tire explodes.
• Make sure all guards and shields are replaced after
servicing the log splitter.
• If a part needs replacement, only use genuine yukon
replacement parts. Replacement parts that do not meet
specifications may result in a safety hazard or poor
operation of the log splitter.

60ton Petrol & Diesel Log Splitter Assembly, Installation, Care, Maintenance useage Instruction Manual
• Fuel is highly flammable and explosive. You can be burned
or seriously injured when handling fuel. Use extreme care
when handling fuel.
• Fill the fuel tank outdoors - never indoors. Fuel vapors can
ignite if they collect inside an enclosure. Explosion can
result.
• Use approved portable plastic or metal fuel container.
Never pump fuel directly into engine at Petrol station.
Static charge can build and ignite fuel. Use an approved
plastic or metal fuel container to transfer fuel to the
engine as per the Australian standards.
• A running engine is hot enough to ignite fuel. Never add
fuel or remove fuel cap if engine is running or still hot.
Stop the engine and allow to cool at least two minutes
before adding fuel.
• Spark arrestor. If your splitter will be used near any
unimproved forest, brush, or grassy covered land, then
engine should be equipped with a spark arrestor. See the
“Specifications” section of this manual to determine if your
splitter already has a spark arrestor. Make sure you comply
with applicable local, state and federal codes.
• Hot exhaust fumes from engine can cause fire. Position
muer at least 7’ from combustible objects during
operation.
• Have a Class B fire extinguisher available as a
precautionary measure when operating the log splitter in
dry areas.
• To prevent accidental falls and equipment tip over, make
sure the splitter is situated on a dry, level surface with
good footing. Slay clear of areas with mud, ice, tall grass,
weeds, brush, or snow.
• Stay away from sources of heat, flame, or sparks while
adding fuel.
• DO NOT overfill the gas tank. Allow at least 1/2” of empty
space below the fill neck to allow for fuel expansion.
• Replace fuel cap securely before starting engine.
• Clean up fuel spills immediately. Move log splitter away
from spilled fuel on the ground. Wipe fuel o engine and
wait 5 minutes for excess fuel to evaporate before starting
engine. Fuel soaked rags should be disposed of properly.
• If fuel is spilled on your skin or clothes, change clothes
and wash skin immediately.
• Store Fuel in a cool, dry place in an approved plastic or
metal fuel container
• Block wheels. Always block the wheels to prevent
unintended movement of the log splitter.
• The running engine gives o carbon monoxide, a
poisonous gas that can kill you. You CANNOT smell it, see
it, or taste it. ONLY run log splitter OUTDOORS and away
from air intakes.
• NEVER run log splitter inside homes, garages, sheds,
or other semi-enclosed spaces. These spaces can trap
poisonous gases, EVEN if you run a fan or open windows.
If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak while using the log
splitter, shut o the engine and get to fresh air RIGHT
AWAY. See a doctor. You may have carbon monoxide
poisoning.

2.4. Safety - During Use General Safety during Use
Before starting this log splitter, review the following rules
for safe operation. Failure to follow these rules may result in
serious injury to the operator or bystanders.
WARNING!
• Square log ends. Logs that arc not cut square can
slide out while splitting and become a safety hazard
or cause excessive force to log splitter components.
Use a chainsaw to cut logs square on each end before
attempting to split them.
• Single log. Never attempt to split more than one log at a
time. Pieces of log can unexpectedly be thrown from the
machine causing serious injury.
• Split along grain. 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.
• Keep hands clear. ALWAYS keep hands and feet away
from the endplate, wedge, and partially split logs while
loading, operating and unloading the log splitter.
• Operator position. ALWAYS operate the log splitter from
the manufacturer’s indicated OPERATOR POSITION.
Other positions are unsafe because they can increase
the risk of injury from crushing, cutting, flying objects, or
bums.
• Straddling / reaching across. Never straddle, reach
across, or step over the beam while the engine is running
and the log splitter is in the horizontal position. You could
trip, actuate the controls, and get seriously injured.
• Second person. Many accidents occur when there is
more than one person involved in loading and operating
the log splitter. Only one person should operate the
controls. If a second person is assisting in loading togs, the
operator must NEVER actuate the Split Control Lever until
the assistant and all bystanders are at least 10 feet away.
• NEVER allow an assistant to hold the log in place while
the operator actuates the Split Control Lever.
2.5. Safety in Loading, Operating, and Unloading
Yukon

60ton Petrol & Diesel Log Splitter Assembly, Installation, Care, Maintenance useage Instruction Manual
• If a log does not split completely and becomes stuck on
the wedge, follow the instructions below to remove
the log.
• Do not change splitting positions (horizontal/vertical)
with the engine running. You may contact the muer and
receive serious burns. Be careful to avoid contact with hot
muer even after the engine is turned o.
• Never refuel the engine until it has cooled at least two
minutes.
• Do not pile logs to be split in a place that will make you
reach across the log splitter in order to load them.
• Hold the bark side of logs when loading or positioning,
never the ends. Never place your hands or any part of your
body between a log and any part of the log splitter.
• VERTICAL POSITION LOADING; Place the log on the
endplate and turn it until it leans against the beam and is
stable. If the log is too big or oddly shaped, stabilize the
log with wooden shims between the log and endplate or
ground.
• DO NOT use your leg or knee to stabilize the log.
• NEVER stabilize the log by placing your hand on top of
the log.
• NEVER load or unload logs while the wedge is moving.
• Cracks in logs can close quickly and pinch fingers. Keep
fingers away from any cracks that open in partially split
logs.
• Move each log away from log splitter after it is split. Split
logs left near the log splitter are a trip hazard.
• Remove both hands from log before activating Split
Control Lever.
• Use only your hand to operate the Split Control Lever.
Never use any other body part, or a rope, cable, or other
remote device to actuate the control.
• Once the control valve is actuated in the return direction,
the wedge is designed to keep returning by itself
completely and then stop automatically. Stay clear while
the wedge is returning. It is still powerful enough on the
return stroke to cause serious injury.
2.6. Loading / Unloading
• A log can become stuck to the wedge if the wedge
becomes embedded in the log and the log doesn’t
split and separate.
• This can happen if the log is too stringy or tough to
split completely.
• A stuck log will move back with the wedge on the
initial attempt to retract the wedge.
• If this happens, retract the wedge completely to allow
the splitter to strip the log from the wedge.
• Keep hands clear of log and wedge while wedge is
retracting.
• NEVER attempt to remove a stuck log by Modifying
the splitter.Adding attachments to the splitter.

be trained and supervised by a trained adult.
• Intended use. Log splitters should only be used for split-
ting wood logs, lengthwise with the grain. Do not use for
other purposes as unforeseen hazards may result.
• Modifications. Never modify or alter the log splitter in
any way. Modifications can create serious safety hazards
and will void the warranty:
• Attachments. Never add attachments to the splitter, ex-
cept for authorized accessories supplied by the manufac-
turer with instructions for safe installation and use.
• Engine speed. The maximum engine speed is preset at
a safe limit. Never attempt to modify the engine speed
setting to am at a higher speed.
• Fuel / exhaust system. NEVER modify or add to the
exhaust system, fuel tanks, or fuel lines. Fire can result.
• Remote control. NEVER attach a rope, cable, or other
remote device to the splitting control.
• Splitting wedge. NEVER attempt to change the height or
speed of the splitting wedge.
• Pressure setting. NEVER increase the pressure setting of
the pump or control valve.
• Safety equipment / controls. Always operate the log
splitter with all safety equipment in place and in good
working order, and all controls properly adjusted for safe
operation.
• Know how to stop. Be thoroughly familiar with all con-
trols and with the proper use of the equipment. Know how
to stop the log splitter and relieve system pressures quickly
if needed.
• Operating speed. Always operate the log splitter at the
manufacturer’s recommended speed. The maximum
speed of the engine pump and wedge are preset within
safe limits.
• Daylight only. Only use the log splitter in daylight so you
can see what you are doing.
• Smoking / sparks. Never smoke while operating the
log splitter, and never operate near sources of sparks or
flames,

operate, the log splitter while under the influence of alco-
hol, drugs, or medication.
• Unattended. Never leave the machine unattended while
the engine is running.
• Refueling. Never refuel the engine until it has cooled at
least two minutes.
• Adjusting / repairing. Always make sure the engine
is o before cleaning, repairing or adjusting the splitter,
except as recommended by the manufacturer. In addition,
disconnect the spark plug and move all control handles
back and forth to relieve system pressure before changing
or adjusting hydraulic system components such as hoses,
tubing, fittings or other components.
• Replace labels. Always make sure safety labels are in
place and in good condition. If a safety label is missing or
not legible, order new labels because unsafe operation
can result.
• Do not pile logs to be split in a place that will make you
reach across the log splitter in order to load them.
• Do not change splitting positions (horizontal/vertical)
with the engine running. You may contact the muer and
receive serious bums. Be careful to avoid contact with hot
muer even after the engine is turned o.
