25-TON LOG SPLITTER - OWNER'S MANUAL
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. Open the fuel shutoff valve.
4. Move the choke lever to the CLOSED 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 dif-
ficult to pull. Let the recoil return to the home position, 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.
Stop Engine
Return the cylinder to fully retracted position or home position. Move the Throttle
lever to SLOW ( ). Move the engine switch to OFF. Close the fuel shut-off valve ( ).
Sudden stopping at a high speed under a heavy load is not recommended.
Engine damage may result.
Split Control Handle
Forward position – Move the lever in this direction to extend the cylinder toward
the foot plate. Keep pressure on the lever until the log splits. The lever does not lock
in this position. Release as soon as the log is split or the cylinder is fully extended.
Never operate through the relief valve for more than 5 seconds.
The splitter wedge is designed to reach the full extension before contacting the foot plate.
