4.0 PRE-CHECKS BEFORE OPERATIONS
Before operating the log splitter, the Bleed Screw should be loosened by some rotations
until air can go in and out of the oil tank smoothly.
Air flow thru the Bleed Screw hole should be detectable during the log splitter
is under operations.
Before moving the log splitter, make sure the Bleed Screw is tightened to avoid
oil leaking from this point.
DO NOT ADJUST THE MAX PRESSURE LIMITING SCREW!
Max pressure was set before the log splitter ex work and the max pressure limiting screw is
sealed with glue to ensure the log splitter works under pressure no more than 8 tons.
The setting was done by qualified mechanic with professional instruments.
Unauthorized resetting will cause the hydraulic pump fail to output enough splitting pressure
or RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY AS WELL AS DAMAGE TO THE MACHINE.
FAILED TO LOOSEN THE BLEED SCREW WILL KEEP THE SEALED AIR IN HYDRAULIC
SYSTEM BEING COMPRESSED AFTER BEING DECOMPRESSED.
SUCH CONTINUOUS AIR COMPRESSION AND DECOMPRESSION WILL BLOW OUT THE
SEALS OF THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM AND CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE LOG
SPLITTER.
WARNING!
4.2. Select location
4.1. Electrical requirements
• Select an appropriate location for operating the log
splitter.
• Dry-level surface with good footing. Stay clear of areas
with mud, ice, tall grass, weeds, brush, or snow.
• 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.
Connect the main leads to a standard 230V+10% (50Hz+1Hz)
electrical supply which has protection devices of
under-voltage, over-voltage, over-current as well as a residual
current device (RCD) which maximum residual current rated at
0.03A.

6.0 STORAGE, USAGE & MAINTENANCE
6.4. Log splitter operation
The log splitter will not move forward if either hand is not
holding down the handle or green button. Only after both
hands are released from the controls, the log pusher starts to
return backward to the end on the machine
Never force the log splitter for more than 5 seconds by
keeping pressure on it to split excessively hard wood.
After this time interval, the oil under pressure will be overheated
and the machine could be damaged. For such extremely
hard log, rotate it by 90 deg to see whether it can be split in a
dierent direction. In any case, if you are not able to split the
log, this means that its hardness exceeds the capacity of this
machine and thus that log should be discarded to protect the
log splitter.
Always set logs firmly on the log splitting wedge. Make
sure logs will not twist, rock or slip while being split. Do
not force the blade by splitting the log on the upper part.
This will break the blade or damage the machine.
Break log in the direction of its growing grain. Do not place
log across the log splitter for splitting. It may be dangerous and
may seriously damage the machine.
Do not attempt to split 2 pieces of logs at the same time. One
of them may fly up and hit you.
6.3. Second Person
• If loading a heavy log a 2nd person may be required to
help load the log only 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 logs, the operator
must NEVER actuate the splotter Control Lever until the
assistant and all bystanders are at least 10 feet away
•EVER allow an assistant to hold the log in place while the
operator actuates the Split Control Lever
•Hand activate
• 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.
6.2. 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
burns.
6.1. Loading Log
• Load the log onto beam with a straight cut end against the
splitting wedge - positioned for a lengthwise cut
• The log splitter is designed only for cutting lengthwise
with the grain, NOT for cutting across the grain.
• Hold bark side. 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.

6.7. Sharpening the Wedge
After using the log splitters for some time, sharpen the wedge
of the log splitter using a fine-toothed file and smooth any
burrs or crushed area along the cutting edge.
If a part needs replacement only use genuine Yukon parts that meets the manufacturer’s
specifications.
Replacement parts that do not meet specifications may result in a safety hazard or poor
operation of the log splitter.
IMPORTANT
6.6. Replacing hydraulic oil
Replace the Hydraulic oil in the log splitter after every 150 hours
of use. Take following steps to replace it.
• Make sure all moving parts stops and the log splitter is
unplugged.
• Unscrew Oil Drain Bolt with Dipstick to remove it.
• Turn the log splitter on the Support Leg side over an 4
liters capacity container to drain the hydraulic oil o.
• Turn the log splitter on the motor side.
• Refill fresh hydraulic oil at the volume as per the hydraulic
oil capacity of a particular model indicated in above
specifications table.
• Clean the surface of Dipstick on the Oil Drain Bolt and put
it back into the oil tank while keep the log splitter vertically.
• Make sure the level of the refilled oil is just between 2
grooves around the Dipstick.
• Clean the Oil Drain Bolt before thread them back. Make
sure they are tightened to avoid leakage before place the
log splitter horizontally.
6.5. Freeing a jammed log
• Release both controls.
• After the log pusher moves back and completely stops
at its starting position, insert a wedge wood under the
jammed log.
• Start the log splitter to push the wedge wood to go
completely under the jammed one.
• Repeat above procedure with sharper slope wedge woods
until the log is completely freed.
Do not try to knock the jammed log o.
Knocking about will damages the machine or may
launch the log and cause accident.
Periodically check oil level to ensure it is between 2
grooves around the Dipstick. Upon Lower oil level,
oil refilling is required.
Following hydraulic oils or equivalent are recommended
for the log splitter’s hydraulic transmission system:
• SHELL Tellus 22
• MOBIL DTE 11
• ARAL Vitam GF 22
• BP Energol HLP-HM 22

7.0 SPECIFICATIONS
7.1. Log Specification & Guide
7.2. Log-Splitter Specification
Square log ends. Logs that are 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 into
single logs.
Max Log Size. The diameter of the log is
indicative-a small log can be dicult to split when
is has knots, tough fiber or green. On the other
hand, it may not be dicult to split logs with
regular fibers even if its diameter exceeds the Max
Log size.
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.
Warning. Splitting log that are not cut square or
has knots or tough fiber or green or not along the
grain will damage the log splitter which would not
be covered under the manufacture warranty
