Choke Control
The choke control is used to choke the carburetor and assist in starting the engine. The
choke control slides between the CHOKE CLOSED

Throttle Control
when it is moved to the STOP position. The throttle control moves between
FAST
, SLOW , and STOP positions.
OPERATION
Many accidents occur when more than one person operates the log splitter. If
a helper is assisting in loading logs to be split, never operate the controls until
the helper is clear of the area.
Always check oil level before starting the engine and keep level full.
ADD OIL TO ENGINE
1. Make sure the log splitter is on a flat, level surface.
2. Remove the oil fill cap/dipstick to add oil.
3. Using a funnel, add oil up to the FULL mark on the dipstick.
(See engine manual for oil capacity, oil recommendation, and
location of fill cap.)
DO NOT OVERFILL. Check engine oil level daily and add as needed.
ADD GASOLINE TO ENGINE
Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive. You can be burned or seriously
injured when handling fuel. Use extreme care when handling gasoline.
Fill the fuel tank outdoors, never indoors. Gasoline vapours can ignite if they collect
inside an enclosure. Explosion can result.
1.
before adding fuel.
2. Remove the fuel filler cap and fill the tank. (See engine manual for fuel capacity,
fuel recommendation, and location of fuel cap.)
IMPORTANT: DO NOT OVERFILL!
This equipment and/or its engine may include evaporative emissions control
system components, required to meet EPA and/or CARB regulations, that will only
function properly when the fuel tank has been filled to the recommended level.
Overfilling may cause permanent damage to evaporative emissions control system
components. Filling to the recommended level ensures a vapour gap required to
allow for fuel expansion. Pay close attention while filling the fuel tank to ensure that
the recommended fuel level inside the tank is not exceeded. Use a portable gasoline
container with an appropriately sized dispensing spout when filling the tank. Do not
use a funnel or other device that obstructs the view of the tank filling process.
3. Reinstall the fuel cap and tighten. Always clean up spilled fuel.
The hydraulic reservoir should be filled with hydraulic fluid before
starting or operating.
