Do Not (Continued)
Do not load a log onto the log splitter by holding the log at both ends of the
log. Do not place your hands between the cutting wedge and the log or
between two pieces of wood and the frame. See operations manual for
proper loading instructions.
Do not service or repair the log splitter without removing the spark plug
wire.
Do not allow anyone except the operator within 10 feet of the log splitter
during operation.
Do not operate the log splitter with any hydraulic fluid leak. Check hydrau-
lic hoses before operating log splitter and repair or replace as necessary.
Do not use any chemical cleaners or high pressure wash systems or steam
cleaners to clean the log splitter. Use only a mild detergent and warm
water for cleaning. Any other method may void your warranty.
Log splitters are not shipped with hydraulic fluid. You will need to purchase this
for your splitter. We recommend that you purchase Dextron 3 Automatic Transi-
mission fluid. This allows you to operate the log splitter in colder weather. You
will need 3.5 Gallons for your 16 ton log splitter.
