ALLOW for added length of your log splitter when turning, parking, crossing intersection and in all driving situations.
BE careful when backing up. You can easily jack-knife your log splitter.
ADJUST towing speed for terrain and conditions. Do not exceed 45 mph. Be extra cautious and reduce speed when towing over bumpy or rough
terrain including railroad crossings.
J. PREVENT FIRE
NEVER operate your log splitter near a flame or spark. Hydraulic oil and gasoline are flammable and can explode.
DON’T fill the gas tank while the engine is hot or running. Allow the engine to cool before refueling.
NEVER smoke while operating or refueling your log splitter. Gas fumes can easily explode.
ONLY refuel your log splitter outdoors in a clear area void of gas fumes or spilled gas. Always use an approved fuel container. Always replace the
gas cap securely.
IF gasoline is spilled, move machine away from the area of the spill and avoid creating any source of ignition until the spilled gas has evaporated.
TAKE a Class B fire extinguisher with you when operating your log splitter in dry areas as a precautionary measure against possible flying sparks.
COMPLETELY drain the fuel tank prior to storage. This guards against the accumulation of fuel fumes, which could result in a fire hazard.
ALWAYS store gasoline in an approved, tightly sealed container. Store the container in a cool, dry place. Do not store in the house or near a
heating appliance.
-NOTE-
This unit is equipped with an internal combustion engine and should not be used on or near any unimproved forest-covered, brush-covered or
grass-covered land unless the engine’s exhaust system is equipped with a spark arrester meeting applicable local or state laws (if any). If a spark
arrester is used, it should be maintained in effective working order by the operator.
In the state of California, the above is required by law (Section 442 of the California Public Resources Code).Other states may have similar laws.
Federal laws apply on federal lands A spark arrester muffler (optional by manufacturer) is available as an accessory at your nearest engine dealer.
Check legal requirements in your area.
L. HYDRAULIC SAFETY
THE hydraulic system of your log splitter requires careful inspection along with the mechanical parts. Be sure to replace frayed, kinked, cracked or
otherwise damaged hydraulic components. Just because it isn’t leaking today doesn’t mean that it will not fail tomorrow.
FLUID escaping from a very small hole can almost be invisible. Do not check for leaks with your hand. Escaping fluid under pressure can have
sufficient force to penetrate skin causing serious personal injury or even death. Leaks can be detected by passing a piece of cardboard or wood
over the suspected leak and looking for discoloration.
IF injured by escaping fluid, see a doctor at once. Serious infection or reaction can develop if proper medical treatment is not administered
immediately.
SHOULD it become necessary to loosen or remove any hydraulic fitting or line, be sure to relieve all pressure by shutting off the engine and moving
the control handle back and forth several times.
DON’T remove the cap from the hydraulic tank or reservoir while your log splitter is running. Hot oil under pressure could result in serious injury.
THE pressure relief valve on your log splitter is preset at the factory. Do not adjust the valve. Only a qualified service technician should perform this
adjustment.
