use of the splitter.

•

DO NOT allow children to operate your splitter.

•

Always inspect your splitter for loose, damaged, or
worn parts before use. DO NOT use if any of these
conditions exist.

•

ONLY one person should load logs and operate the
splitter. If a helper is assisting in log loading, never
activate the controls unless all persons are in the
“operation zone” or clear of the area, a minimum of 10
feet away.

•

DO NOT operate your splitter under the influence of
alcohol, drugs, or other medication.

•

DO NOT operate if you feel tired, ill, dizzy, or
unsteady in any way.

•

DO NOT use your splitter for any other purpose than
splitting wood.

•

DO NOT attempt to move the splitter over hilly or
uneven terrain without a tow vehicle or other help.

•

DO NOT operate the splitter without wearing the
safety goggles provided with the splitter or equivalent
eye protection. Flying wood could cause serious injury
to your eyes.

•

DO NOT operate without wearing safety shoes.
Dropped logs may cause serious injury to feet.

•

DO NOT operate without wearing protective hearing
devices.

•

NEVER wear loose clothing, jewelry or gloves that
could be caught by moving parts. Keep clothing away
from all moving parts of splitter. Wear proper head
gear to keep loose hair away from moving parts.

Ensure the following general safety precautions are observed
during the operation of the splitter.

•

DO NOT attempt to operate the splitter from outside
of the operation zone.

•

DO NOT use the wood splitter with the I-beam in any
position other than vertical. The splitter was designed
to split wood only in the vertical position. Using it in
any other position could cause serious injury to the
user or damage to the splitter.

•

DO NOT operate splitter on slopes, hills, or uneven
terrain. Operate only on level ground. The splitter
could tip over causing serious injury.

•

DO NOT operate splitter on slippery, muddy, or icy
surfaces.

•

ALWAYS block splitter wheels to prevent movement
while in use.

•

ALWAYS keep operation zone and adjacent area clear
for safe and secure footing. Remove split wood
immediately so that you do not stumble over it and
fall.

•

ALWAYS use both hands to operate the Function
Interrupt Valve and Wedge Controls. DO NOT use
any other means to operate the controls.

•

ALWAYS operate your splitter with all safety
equipment in place and all controls properly adjusted.
DO NOT modify or attempt to override or defeat the
safety devices.

•

NEVER place hand, foot, or other body part between
log and wedge or log and stripper. When loading
splitter, place hands on the sides of the log.

•

DO NOT attempt to split logs across the grain. Logs
split in this manner may snap away from the wedge
with enough force to cause injury.

•

NEVER attempt to split more than one log at a time.
One may fly out and cause injury.

•

NEVER attempt to load splitter while wedge is in
motion.

•

DO NOT step across the splitter while engine is
running. ALWAYS walk around.

•

NEVER straddle the splitter while in use. Any kind of
slip could cause serious injury.

•

ALWAYS split logs with ends cut square. A log that is

prevent fires during the operation of the splitter.
•

The splitter is equipped with an internal combustion
engine and should not be used in or near any
unimproved forest, brush or grass covered areas unless
the exhaust system is equipped with a spark arrester. If
a spark arrester is used, it must be maintained in
effective working order. Check federal, state, and local
code for spark arrester requirements.

•

ALWAYS have a fire extinguisher available during
splitter operation as a precaution against flying sparks.

•

NEVER operate the splitter near flames or sparks.
Gasoline is extremely flammable.

•

DO NOT smoke while operating or refueling the
splitter. Gas fumes are explosive and extremely

parts purchased from the manufacturer can be
guaranteed to comply with these specifications.

HYDRAULIC SAFETY
Ensure the following safety precautions are observed when any
hydraulic system maintenance is being performed on the
splitter.

WARNING
Hydraulic system under high pressure. Escaping fluid
can have enough force to penetrate skin causing serious
personal injury, even death.

•

NEVER check for hydraulic system leaks with hands.
Leaks can be detected by passing cardboard or wood
over the suspected area and checking for discoloration
or fluid on the material used.

•

If injured by escaping fluid, consult a physician
immediately. Serious infection or reaction can develop
if proper medical treatment is not administered
immediately.

•

The hydraulic system of the splitter requires careful
inspection. Be sure to replace frayed, kinked, cracked,
or otherwise damaged hydraulic components to avert
total hydraulic system failure.

•

Before loosening or removing any hydraulic fitting or
line, relieve all pressure by shutting off the engine and
moving the control handle back and forth several
times.

•

NEVER remove the hydraulic reservoir while the
splitter is running. Hot oil under pressure could result
in serious injury.

•

NEVER adjust the pressure relief valve. The pressure
relief valve on the splitter is preset at the factory. Only
a qualified service technician should perform this
adjustment.

Introduction

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Lumber-Jax 20 Ton Vertical Log Splitter, model AU5V20H manufactured by bil-jax, is designed and built to split
square cut logs up to 24 inches long and up to 8 inches in
diameter.
The splitter is powered by an 8 horsepower Honda GX240
engine. The gas engine drives a 2-stage hydraulic pump that
delivers up to 2500 psi to the hydraulic ram cylinder. During
operation, a steel wedge attached to the cylinder moves
downward splitting the cut log. Cylinder movement is
controlled by two hand controls on the splitter control panel.
The Lumber-Jax is designed to be towed by a standard tow
vehicle and is equipped with a standard 2-inch ball hitch rated
at 3500 pounds. The Lumber-Jax can be towed up to 35 mph
over normal road conditions.
Safety of operation is assured by proper inspection and
maintenance procedures as set forth in this manual. Carefully
read all the safety instructions contained in the Safety section
