Refer to the drawings and part lists should it become necessary to disassemble the unit for repair or replacement of parts. If you believe you have a damaged part please contact customer service immediately at 1-800-222-8183. WARNING: Exercise extreme caution, as parts are very heavy. Refer to uncrating and assembly instructions for assembly procedures. OPERATION INTENDED USE: This log splitter is intended and designed to only split wood. Doing so can cause injury or VOID THE WARRANTY. IMPORTANT: This unit is shipped with oil but without gasoline in the engine. After assembly, see separate Engine Manual for proper fuel and oil recommendations. WARNING: DO NOT START OR RUN THE LOG SPLITTER WITHOUT OIL IN THE ENGINE AND HYDRAULIC RESERVOIR. To stop engine, move throttle lever to "SLOW" for a few seconds then to "STOP. " 6 COLD WEATHER START UP The Cold Weather Clutch enables the engine to be started without having to pull through cold, thickened hydraulic fluid. The suction port on the tank should always be on the lower side of the log splitter. Make sure the log is securely on the foot plate and up against the beam. Depress the valve lever so that the cylinder will drive the push block into the log. If the log has not completely split after the cylinder has reached the end of its extension, retract the cylinder. NOTE: Leaving the valve in the "actuate" position at the end of the stroke may damage the pump. Always use extra care when splitting logs with ends that are not square. NOTE: To extend the life of the hydraulic cylinder, avoid "BOTTOMING OUT" the cylinder.

Any licensing or modifications such as taillights, etc. , need to comply with existing federal, local, or state vehicle requirements is the sole responsibility of the purchaser. See also SAFETY PERCAUTIONS. Turn the fuel shut-off valve if applicable OFF to prevent flooding of the engine while traveling. TOWING AT NIGHT The requirements for taillights are based on States regulations. Some states allow towing at night as long as the towed equipment does not visibly impair the tow vehicle taillights. If a "Statement of Origin" is required in your state, see your local dealer to receive one.
