to be unsafe.
• Perform all recommendedmaintenance
proceduresbefore youuse your splitter.
•Do notserviceorrepairyour logsplitterwithout
disconnectingthe spark plugwireand movingit
away from the sparkplug.
•Never storethe equipmentwithgasolineinthe
tank insideof a buildingwhere ignitionsources
are present,suchas hotwaterand space
heaters, clothesdryers and the like. Allowthe
engine to cool beforestodnginany enclosure.
• Always storegasolinein an approved,tightly
sealed container.Storethe containerinacool,
dry place. Do notstorein a buildingwhere
ignitionsourcesare present.
• To reducefire hazard, keep engine free ofgrass,
leaves, wood chips,and excessivegreaseand
oil.
•The hydraulicsystemofyourlogsplitterrequires
careful inspection,along withthe mechanical
parts. Be sure to replace frayed, kinked,or
otherwisedamaged hydrauliccomponents.
Fluid escapingfrom a very smallholecan be
almost invisible. Do not check for leakswith your
hand. Escaping fluid under pressure can have
sufficient force to penetrate skin, causing
• serious personal injury. Leaks can be located by
passing a piece of cardboard or wood over the
suspected leak and looking for discoloration.
Should it become necessary to loosen or
remove any hydraulic fitting or line, be sure to
relieve all pressureby shutting off the engine
and moving the control handle back and forth
several times.
Do not remove the cap from the hydraulic tank or
reservoir while your log splitteris running. Hot oil
under pressure couldcause injury.
The pressure relief valve on your splitter is
preset at the factory. Do not adjust the valve.
Only a qualified service technician should
perform this adjustment.
• Completely drain fuel tank prior to storage. This
guards against accumulation of fuel fumes
whichcouldresultin a fire hazard.
Never store log splitter outside without a
waterproof cover. Rain will cause rust on the
inside of the cylinder.
Important Information
Always:
Use clean fluid and check fluid level regularly.
Use Dexron III Automatic Transmission Fluid or
10W non-foaming hydraulic fluid.
Use a filter (clean or replace regulady).
Use a breather cap on fluid reservoir.

sectionof this manual should be checked at least
once each season.
Follow the maintenance schedule given above.
Periodically check all fasteners and make sure
these are tight.
WARNING: Always stopthe engine and
disconnect sparkplug wirebefore
performinganymaintenanceoradjustments.
Splitter Mechanism
Hydraulic Fluid
Check the hydraulic fluidlevel in the logsplitter
reservoirtank beforeeach use.Fluidlevelshould
be 1.5" to 2" from the top of the tank ( four gallons
approximately).
Change the hydraulic fluid in the reservoir every
100 hours of operation.
Disconnect the suction hose from the bottom of
the reservoir tank, and drain the fluid into a
suitable container.
Refill using only Dexron III automatic
transmission fluid or 10W non-foaming hydraulic
fluid. Also, make certain to change the hydraulic
filter.
NOTE: Drain the fluid and flush the reservoir tank and
hoses with kerosene whenever any repair work is
performed on the tank, hydraulic pump or valve.
Contaminants in the fluid willdamage the hydraulic
components. Repairs to hydraulic components should
be performedby aSears service center.
Hydraulic Filter
Change the hydraulicfilter every 50 hours of
operation.Use onlya 10 micron hydraulic filter.
Hose Clamps
Check the hose clamps on the suction hose
(attached to the sideof the pump) for proper
tightness before each use.
