&WARNINGS
Escaping pressurized fluid from hydraulic system leaks can have enough force to
penetrate skin and cause serious injury or death.
Hydraulic fluid can remain highly pressurized while splitter motor is off.
Never use your hand or any part of your body to check for hydraulic system leaks
while the system is pressurized.
Get professional medical help at once if hydraulic oil penetrates anyone's skin.
Always release residual energy from pressurized hydraulic fluid before doing any
maintenance or repair work on the log splitter.
