6 . Start Engine . Extend and retract the wedge to purge
air from the hydraulic system . When the wedge
motion is smooth, the system is properly purged .
7 . Check the hydraulic oil tank sight glass . Add
approximately 1 to 1 .5 gallons of hydraulic oil to
bring the level back up to the sight glass .
Our engines work well with 10% or less ethanol blend
fuels . When using blended fuels there are some issues
worth noting:
– Ethanol-gasoline blends can absorb more water than
gasoline alone .
– These blends can eventually separate, leaving water
or a watery goo in the tank, fuel valve and carburetor .
– With gravity-fed fuel supplies, this compromised fuel
can be drawn into the carburetor and cause damage
to the engine and/or potential hazards .
– There are only a few suppliers of fuel stabilizer that
are formulated to work with ethanol blend fuels .
– Any damages or hazards caused by using improper
fuel, improperly stored fuel, and/or improperly
formulated stabilizers, are not covered by
manufacture’s warranty .
It is advisable to always shut off the fuel supply, run the
engine to fuel starvation and drain the tank when the
equipment is not in use for more than 30 days .
NOTE
DO NOT remove the hydraulic oil fill cap when the
engine is running or hot . Hot oil can escape causing
severe burns . Always allow the log splitter to cool
completely before removing the hydraulic oil cap .
High fluid pressure and temperatures are created
in the hydraulic log splitters . Hydraulic fluid will
escape through a pin-size hole opening and can
puncture skin and cause severe blood poisoning .
Inspect hydraulic system regularly for possible
leaks . Never check for leaks with your hand while
the system is pressurized . Seek medical attention
immediately if injured by escaping fluid .
WARNING
Add Hydraulic Oil
1 . Make sure the log splitter is on a flat, level surface .
2 . Remove the oil plug from the oil tank . (A)
3 . Add 15 .1 L (4 gal .) of hydraulic oil - 10W AW32, ASLE
H-150, or ISO 32 are all acceptable types of fluid .
4 . Check the hydraulic oil level using the oil sight glass .
Oil level should be centered on the glass sight . (B)
5 . Replace and tighten the oil plug and orient the vent
hole away from the operator zone .

Add Engine Fuel
1 . Use clean, fresh, regular unleaded fuel with a
minimum octane rating of 85 and an ethanol content
of less than 10% by volume .
2 . DO NOT mix oil with fuel .
3 . Clean the area around the fuel cap .
4 . Remove the fuel cap .
5 . Slowly add fuel to the tank . DO NOT OVERFILL . Fuel
can expand after filling . A minimum of 6 .4 mm (¼ in .)
of space left in the tank is required for fuel expansion,
more than 6 .4 mm (¼ in .) is recommended . Fuel can
be forced out of the tank as a result of expansion if it is
overfilled, and can affect the stable running condition of
the product . When filling the tank, it is recommended
to leave enough space for the fuel to expand .
6 . Screw on the fuel cap and wipe away any spilled fuel .
Use regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum
octane rating of 85 .
Do not mix oil and gasoline .
Fill tank to approximately 6 .4 mm (¼ in .) below the
top of the tank to allow for fuel expansion .
DO NOT pump gas directly into the engine at the
gas station . Use an approved container to transfer
the fuel to the generator .
DO NOT fill fuel tank indoors .
DO NOT fill fuel tank when the engine is running or hot .
DO NOT overfill the fuel tank .
DO NOT light cigarettes or smoke when filling the
fuel tank .
CAUTION
Pouring fuel too fast through the fuel screen may
result in blow back of fuel at the operator while filling .
