OPERATION

Work Site

Set up log splitter in an area that provides:

• a dry level surface.

• good footing that is free of debris or

other tripping hazards.

• sufficient clearance for engine exhaust

to not blow directly on combustible

material.

Disconnect the log splitter from the tow

vehicle before operating. If splitting logs in the

horizontal position, move rear stabilizer to

work position (see Rear Stabilizer on

page 14). Chock the wheels to prevent

movement during operation.

Warm Up Unit

When using the unit in temperatures of 68°

F (20° C) or lower, the hydraulic system

should be cycled before splitting logs. This

allows the cool hydraulic oil in the cylinder to

be circulated before placing a load on the

hydraulic system.

1. Start the engine and allow it warm up

(see Start Engine on page 14).

2. Cycle the cylinder through three or four

full extension/retraction cycles.

3. Proceed with splitting logs.

IMPORTANT: Always split logs with engine

set at Fast position.

CAUTION: Unit can cause

serious injury if it rolls out of

control or tips over. Chock wheels

when unit is not attached to a tow

vehicle.

CAUTION: Avoid damage or

injury! Use maximum caution

when towing log splitter:

• DO NOT exceed 45 mph

(72.4 kph).

• Obey all applicable local,

state and federal laws

regarding towing.

• DO NOT carry passengers,

cargo or logs on the towed

unit.

• Allow for the extra length of

the unit when turning,

parking, crossing

intersections and in all driving

situations.

• Ensure that stabilizers are

locked in the transport

position and that the beam is

locked before moving unit.

• Drive slowly and take extra

caution over rough terrain.
