Preparation
•

•

•
•

•
•
•

•

•
•

Never wear loose clothing or jewelry that can be
caught by moving parts of your log splitter and
pull you into it. Keep clothing away from all
moving pads of your log splitter.
Wear proper head gear to keep hair away from
moving parts. Always wear protective hearing
devices as needed.
Always wear safety shoes. A dropped log can
seriously injure your foot.
Always wear safety glasses or goggles while
operating your splitter. A piece of splitting log
could fly off and hit your eyes.
Wear leather work gloves. Be sure they are tight
fitting without loose cuffs or draw strings.
Use your log splitter in daylight, or under good
artificial light.
Never operate your splitter on slippery, wet,
muddy or icy surfaces. Safe footing is essential
in preventing accidents.
Never operate your splitter while attached to a
towing vehicle.
Only operate your splitter on level ground and
not on the side of a hill. Itcould tip, or rollinglogs
or poor footing could cause an accident.
Operating the splitter on level ground also
prevents the spillage of gasoline from the fuel
tank.
Never attempt to move the log splitter over hilly
or uneven terrain without a tow vehicle or
adequate help.
Always block the wheels to prevent movement
of log splitter while in operation.
Check the fuel before starting the engine.
Gasoline is an extremely flammable fuel. Do not
fill the gasoline tank indoors, when the engine is
running, or while the engine is still hot. Replace
gasoline cap securely and wipe off any spilled
gasoline before starting the engine as it may
cause a fire or explosion.
Bothends of each log must be cut as square as
possible to help prevent the log from ridingout of
the splitter during operation.

Operation
Vertical Operating Position: Stand in front of
the log splitter.

•

Know how to stop the unit and disengage the
controls.

•

Never place hands or feet between log and
splittingwedge or between log and end plate
dudng forward or reverse stroke.To do so may
resultin crushed or amputated fingers or toes, or
worse, you may lose an arm or foot.
Do not straddle the splitterwhen using it. A slip
in any positioncould resultin a serious injury.
Do not step over your log splitterwhen the
engine is running. You may trip or accidentally
activate the splittingwedge ifyou step over. If
you need to get to the other side, walk around.
Never try to splittwo logson top of each other.
One may fly out and injureyou.
When loading the log splitter,place your hands
on the side of the log, not at the ends. Never
attempt to load your splitterwhile the splitting
wedge is in motion. You may get caught by the
wedge and injured.
Only use your hand to operate the splitting
wedge or control lever. Never use your foot or a
rope or any other extension device. This could
resultin your inabilityto stop your splitter quickly
enough to avoid injury.
Always keep fingers away from any cracksthat
open in the log duringsplittingoperation. They
can quickly close and pinch or amputate your
fingers.
Never attempt to splitwoods across the grain.
Some types of wood may burstor fly out of your
splitter and result in injury to you or a bystander.

Perform all recommended maintenance
procedures before you use your splitter.
Do not service or repair your log splitter without "
disconnectingthe spark plug wire and moving it
away from the spark plug.
Never store the equipment with gasoline in the
tank inside of a buildingwhere ignitionsources
are present, such as hot water and space
heaters, clothesdryers and the like. Allow the
engine to cool before stodng in any enclosure.
Always store gasoline in an approved, tightly
sealed container. Store the container in a cool,
dry place. Do not store in a buildingwhere
ignitionsources are present.
To reduce fire hazard, keep engine free of grass,
leaves, wood chips, and excessive grease and
oil.

For logs that are not cut square, the longest
portion of the log should be rotated down and
the most square end placed against the splitting
wedge.
Keep your work area clean. Immediately
remove split wood around your splitter sothat
you do not stumble over it. Clean chips and dirt
off end plate (wood platform) after each log is
split, or whenever necessary to maintain flat
contact between wood and end plate (platform).
Never move the log splitter while the engine is
running.
Never leave your log splitter unattended withthe
engine running. Shut off the engine if you are
leaving your splitter, even for a short periodof
time. Someone could accidentally activatethe
splitting wedge and be injured.
Do not run engine In an enclosed area. Exhaust
gases contain carbon monoxide. This ododess
gas can be deadly when inhaled.
Be careful not to touch the muffler afterthe
engine has been running. It will be HOT!
If the equipment should start to vibrate
abnormally, stop the engine and check
immediately for the cause. Vibration is generally
a warning of trouble.
When cleaning, repairing or inspecting,make
certain all moving parts have stopped.
Disconnect the spark plug wire and keep the
wire away from the plug to prevent accidental
starting.

The hydraulic system of your log splitter requires
careful inspection,along with the mechanical
parts. Be sure to replace frayed, kinked, or
otherwise damaged hydraulic components.
Fluid escaping from a vary small hole can be
almost invisible. Do not check for leaks with 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 hydraulicfitting or line, be sure to
relieve all pressure by shuttingoff the engine
and moving the controlhandle back and forth
several times.
Do not remove the cap from the hydraulic tank or
reservoirwhile your log splitter is running. Hot oil
under pressure could cause injury.
The pressure relief valve on your splitter is
preset at the factory. Do not adjust the valve.
Only a qualified sentice technician should
perform this adjustment.
Completely drain fuel tank priorto storage. This
guards against accumulation of fuel fumes
which could result in a fire hazard.
Never store log splitteroutside without a
waterproof cover. Rain will cause rust on the
inside of the cylinder.

Responsibilities

Do not operate your splitter in poor mechanical
condition or when in need of repair.
Periodically check that all nuts, bolts, screws,
hose clamps and hydraulic fittings are tight to be
sure equipment is in safe working condition.
Where appropriate, check all safety guards and
shields to be sure they are in the proper position.
Never operate your splitter with safety guards,
shields or other protective features removed.
These safety devices era for your protection.
Replace all damaged or worn parts such as
hydraulic hoses and fittings immediately with
manufacturer approved replacement parts.
Do not change the engine governor settings or
over_peed the engine. This increases the
hazard of personal injury. The maximum engine
speed is preset by the manufacturer and is
within safety limits.
Do not alter your log splitter in any manner such
as attaching a rope or extension to the control
lever or adding to the width or height of the
wedge. Such alterations may cause your splitter
to be unsafe.

Change the hydraulicfluid in the reservoir every
100 hours of operation. Disconnectthe suction
hose from the bottomof the reservoirtank, and
drain the fluid into a suitable container. Refill
usingonly Dexmn III automatic transmissionfluid
or 10W non-foaminghydraulicfluid. Also, make
sure 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, hydraulicpump or valve.
Contaminants in the fluid will damage the hydraulic
components. Any repair to the hydraulic components
should be performed by Sears service center.

available at any authorizedTecumseh service outlet.

Engine Speed
The engine speed on your logsplitter has been set at
the factory. Do not attempt to increase engine speed
or it may result in personalinjury. Ifyou believe the
engine is runningtoo fast or too slow,take the
equipment to the nearest Sears service center for
repair and adjustment.

Tires
See sidewall of tire for recommended pressure.
Maximum tire pressure under any
cimumstances is 30 p.s.i. Equal tire pressure
should be maintained on all tires.
WARNING: Excessive pressure (over 30
p.s.i.) when seating beads may cause tire/
rim assembly to burst with force sufficientto
cause serious injury.

Important: Changing of engine governed speed will
void engine warranty.

Flexible Pump Coupling
The flexible pump couplinghas a "spider" which is a
nylon insert located between the pump and engine
shaft. Over a period oftime, this insertwill harden and
deteriorate. Replace the spider insertand/or the
coupling halves if you detectvibrationor noisecoming
from the area between the engine and the pump. If the

NOTE: Fuel stabilizar is an acceptable alternative in
minimizing the formation of fuel gum deposits during
storage.

WARNING: Never store machine with fuel
in the fuel tank inside of buildingwhere
fumes may reach an openflame or spark, or
where ignitionsources are present such as
hot water and space heaters, furnaces,
clothes dryers, stoves, electric motors, etc.

ENGINE

•

IMPORTANT: It is importantto prevent gum deposits
from forming in essential fuel system parts such as
carburetor, fuel filter, fuel hose, or tank during
storage. Also, experience indicatesthat alcohol
blended fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or
methanol) can attract moisture which leads to
separation and formation of acids during storage.
Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine
while in storage.

•

Add stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or storage
container.
Always follow the mix ratio found on stabilizer
container.
Run engine at least 10 minutes after adding
stabilizerto allow the stabilizer to reach the
carburetor.
Do not drain the gas tank and carburetor if using
fuel stabilizer. Drain all the oil from the
crankcase (thisshould be done after the engine
has been operated and is stillwarm) and refill
the crankcase with fresh oil.
If you have drained the fuel tank, protectthe
inside ofthe engine as follows.
Remove spark plug, pour approximately 112
ounce (approximatelyone tablespoon) of engine
oil into cylinderand crank slowly to distribute oil.
Replace spark plug.

OTHER
•

Drain the fuel tank.
Start the engine and let it run untilthe fuel lines
and carburetor are empty.
Drain carburetor by pressingupward on bowl
drain which is located below the carburetor.

Do not store gasoline from one season to
another.
Replace your gasoline can if it starts to rust.
Rust and/or dirt in the gasoline will cause
problems. Store unit in a clean, dry area. Do not
store nextto corrosive materials, such as
fertilizer.

NOTE: ff storingin an unventilated or metal storage
shed, be certainto rustproofthe equipment by coating
with a light oil or silicone.
