ADD HYDRAULIC OIL TO OIL TANK
1. Make sure the log splitter is on a flat, level surface.
2. Remove the oil dipstick from the oil tank.
Never remove the hydraulic oil dipstick when the engine is running or hot. Hot
oil can escape causing severe burns. Allow the log splitter to cool completely
before removing the hydraulic oil dipstick.
3. The recommended hydraulic oil type: AW22
10W AW32
ASLE H-150
ISO 32
Home Hardware Item: #8651-171 (AW-32)
4. Make sure the hydraulic oil level reaches the
upper line of the dipstick.
Completely install the dipstick when checking
oil level.
5. Start the engine and use the control valve handle to extend and retract the
wedge five times to remove air from the high pressure lines.
6.
Fill if necessary.
7. Cycle the cylinder again until it has a constant speed.
This indicates that all air has been expelled.
STARTING ENGINE
1. Make sure the control lever is in the neutral position.
2. Move the engine switch to the ON position.
3.
4. Move the choke lever to the CHOKE position.
If the engine is hot, closing the choke is not necessary.
5. Move the throttle lever slightly to the FAST speed.
6. Pull the recoil starter until engine compression has become
then pull quickly to start the engine. Repeat steps as needed.
Fully open the choke and set the throttle to the FAST
position, before operating the unit.
Rapid retraction of the starter cord (kickback) will pull your
hand and arm toward the engine faster than you can let go.
Broken bones, fractures, bruises, or sprains could result.
