25 TON GAS-POWERED LOG SPLITTER

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 the fuel system.
Loosen the fuel tank cap slowly to relieve any pressure in the tank.
Never overfill the fuel tank. Fill the tank to no more than 1/2” below the bottom of
the filler neck to provide space for expansion as the heat of the engine can cause
fuel to expand.
Replace all fuel tank and container caps securely and wipe up spilled fuel. Never
operate the unit without the fuel cap securely in place.
Avoid creating a source 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 vapours 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.
Store fuel in a cool, 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 building where fumes may
reach a spark, open flame, or any other source of ignition, such as a water heater,
furnace, or clothes dryer. Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM SAFETY
The hydraulic system of the machine requires careful inspection along with the
mechanical parts. Be sure to replace frayed, 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 doing any work on hydraulic parts.
Keep body and hands away from pin holes or nozzles that expel hydraulic fluid 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
in good condition before applying pressure to the system.
Do not remove the cap from the hydraulic tank 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 by escaping fluid, no matter how small the wound is, see a doctor at
once. A typical injection injury may be a small 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.
