VERTICAL OPERATION

DANGER

Make sure the operator knows how to stop and disengage the controls
before operating. Do not place hands or feet between the log and splitting wedge during
forward or reverse stroke. Serious injury or death could result. DO NOT straddle or step over the log splitter during operation DO NOT reach or bend over the log splitter to pick up a log DO NOT attempt to split two logs on top of each other DO NOT attempt to cross split a log DO NOT attempt to load your log splitter when the ram or wedge is in motion Use your hand to operate the control lever on the valve DO NOT use your foot, a
rope or any extension device DO NOT move the log splitter while the engine is running Never leave the equipment unattended while the engine is running. Shut off
the engine even if you are leaving the log splitter for a short period of time Use your hand to operate the control lever on the valve DO NOT use your foot, a
rope or any extension device

Safety Information

REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE DO NOT operate the log splitter when it is in poor mechanical condition or in
need of repair. Frequently check that all nuts, bolts, screws, hydraulic fittings and hose clamps are tight DO NOT alter the log splitter in any manner Any alteration will void the warranty
and could cause the log splitter to be unsafe to operate Perform all recommended
maintenance procedures before using the log splitter Replace all damaged or
worn parts immediately DO NOT tamper with the engine to run it at excessive speeds The maximum
engine speed is preset by the manufacturer and is within safety limits See Honda
engine manual Remove the spark plug wire before performing any service or repair on the log
splitter Always check the level of hydraulic oil and engine oil before operation. Replacement parts must meet manufacturer's specifications.

WARNING

HYDRAULIC SAFETY
The hydraulic system of the log splitter requires careful inspection along
with the mechanical parts Be sure to replace frayed, kinked, cracked or
otherwise damaged hydraulic hoses or hydraulic components Check for hydraulic fluid leaks by passing a piece of paper or cardboard underneath or over the
area of the leak Do not check for leaks with your hand. Fluid escaping from the smallest hole,
under pressure, can have enough force to penetrate the skin causing serious injury or death. Seek professional medical attention immediately if injured by escaping hydraulic fluid.
Serious infection or reaction can develop if medical treatment is not administered immediately Relieve all pressure by shutting off the engine and moving the valve control handle back and forth
should it become necessary to loosen or remove any hydraulic fitting. DO NOT remove the cap from the hydraulic tank or reservoir while the log splitter is running The
tank could contain hot oil under pressure which could result in serious injury. DO NOT adjust the hydraulic valve The pressure relief valve on the log splitter is preset at the
factory Only a qualified service technician should perform this adjustment.

Safety Information

CAUTION

FIRE PREVENTION DO NOT operate the log splitter near an open flame or spark. Hydraulic oil and
fuel are flammable and can explode. DO NOT fill the fuel tank while the engine is hot or running. Allow the engine to
cool before refueling DO NOT smoke while operating or refueling the log splitter Petrol fumes can
easily explode Refuel the log splitter in a clear area with no fuel fumes or spilled fuel Use an
approved fuel container Replace the fuel cap securely If fuel has spilled, move
the log splitter away from the area of the spill and avoid creating any source of
ignition until the spilled fuel has evaporated Keep a Class B fire extinguisher on hand when operating this log splitter in dry
areas as a precautionary measure against possible flying sparks. Drain the fuel tank prior to storage to avoid the potential fire hazard. Store fuel in
an approved, tightly sealed container Store the container in a cool, dry place Turn the fuel shut off valve on the engine to the "OFF" position before towing the
log splitter. Failure to do so may result in flooding the engine.

CAUTION

IMPORTANT NOTE This log splitter 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
Never operate the log splitter indoors or in a contained are as there is a danger from exhaust fume.

CAUTION

TOWING SAFETY Check all local and state regulations regarding towing, licensing, and lights before
towing your log splitter Check before towing to make sure that the log splitter is correctly and securely
attached to the towing vehicle and that the safety chains are secured to the hitch

Operating Instructions

DANGER

CAUTION: Oil must be added to the hydraulic reservoir and the engine before starting or operation.

CAUTION

Step 1 Please add approximately 15/20 litres of hydraulic fluid. The remaining hydraulic fluid will be added after the cylinder is cycled AW46 hydraulic oil is recommended Use only clean oil and take care to prevent dirt from entering the hydraulic reservoir
ENGINE OIL RECOMMENDATIONS Use 4 stroke automotive detergent oil SAE 10W30 is recommended for general use Refer to the SAE Viscosity Grades chart in your engine owner's manual for average temperature ranges. The engine oil capacity is 600ml for the Honda GX200 (30 ton), 1.1lts for the Honda GX270 (35 ton) and 1.1lts for the Honda GX390 (40 ton). Always check oil level before starting the engine and keep level full

Step 2 After the hydraulic reservoir and the engine crankcase are filled with oil, start the engine. The hydraulic pump is self-priming With the engine running, move the hydraulic valve lever toward the foot plate This will cause the cylinder to extend and expel air When the cylinder is fully extended, retract it Repeat this procedure several times An erratic movement of the cylinder indicates that there is still air in the system. Add about 3 to 6 litres of hydraulic fluid. Approximately 19 litres will register just above the top fill line on the dip stick. The total capacity of the entire hydraulic system is 30 litres, with 19 litres of hydraulic fluid minimum to operate.
NOTE: If the tank is overfilled it will expel oil from the breather cap when the cylinder is retracted. Cycle the cylinder again until it has a constant speed which indicates that all air has been expelled.

Operating Instructions

STARTING INSTRUCTIONS NOTE: Refer to the engine owner's manual for complete information on starting, maintenance and troubleshooting 1 Move the fuel valve lever to the ON position 2 To start a cold engine, move the choke lever to the CLOSE position To restart a warm engine,
leave the choke lever in the OPEN position 3 Move the throttle lever away from the SLOW position, about 1/3 of the way toward the FAST
position 4 Turn the engine switch to the ON position 5 Pull the starter grip until you feel resistance, then pull briskly Return the starter grip gently 6 If the choke lever has been moved to the CLOSE position to start the engine, gradually move it to
the OPEN position as the engine warms up 7 To stop the engine in an emergency, simply turn the engine switch to the OFF position Under
normal conditions, move the throttle lever to the SLOW position and then turn the engine switch to the OFF position Then turn the fuel valve lever to the OFF position
For further information on starting and stopping the engine, refer to your engine owner's manual.

CAUTION

CAUTION: Turn fuel shut off valve to the OFF position before towing to avoid flooding the engine.
NOTE: The engines maximum speed is factory preset at 3600 RPM as the no load speed The throttle should be set at the maximum speed for wood splitting to reach the horsepower required for the pump

WARNING

WARNING: Review safety information related to operation of the log splitter on pages 3-6 of this manual. Make sure that you have the recommended personal protective equipment described on page 3.

Store manuals in the manual cannister attached to the tongue of the log splitter or file in a safe place for future reference.
NOTE: For operation in wooded areas, obtain a spark arrestor for the exhaust system See the engine operating and maintenance manual and check with your authorised service centre See also FIRE PREVENTION on page 8 of this manual
IMPORTANT: To extend the life of the hydraulic cylinder avoid bottoming out the wedge plate to the foot piece. To conform with industry safety recommendations the wedge stops 1/2" from the end of the stroke.

Operating Instructions

1 Set up the log splitter in a clear, level area and block the wheels Make sure that the suction port on the tank is always on the lower side of the log splitter
2 For horizontal operation place a log on the beam against the foot plate Make sure the log is securely on the foot plate and against the beam To split wood in the vertical position, release the pin on the beam latch located on the front end of the beam Carefully tilt the beam up until the foot plate is sitting squarely on the ground and the log splitter is stable Place the log on the foot plate against the beam When the beam is returned to the horizontal position make sure the beam latch is securely locked down
3 With the engine running, depress the valve handle so that the cylinder will drive the wedge into the log Extend the cylinder until the log splits or to the end of its stroke If the log has not completely split after the cylinder has reached the end of its extension, retract the cylinder
IMPORTANT: 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 unsquare ends

MAINTENANCE 1 Consult the operating and maintenance instructions of the engine manufacturer for engine care
and maintenance 2 Always check the oil level of the hydraulic reservoir before operation Operating the log splitter
without an adequate oil supply will cause severe damage to the pump 3. Change the oil filter after the first 25 hours of operation. There after change the oil filter every 100
hours or seasonally, whichever comes first. 4. To drain the hydraulic oil, loosen the clamp on the hose coming from the fitting on the bottom of the
tank. It is located just to the right of the oil filter. 5 If the wedge becomes dull or nicked, it can be removed and sharpened Remove the bolt that
connects the wedge to the cylinder The hose from the valve may need to be removed Carefully lift the cylinder to allow the wedge to slide forward The wedge can now be lifted off and sharpened 6 Clean the breather cap after 25 hours of operation Clean it more often when operated in dusty conditions. To clean, remove the breather cap from the tank and flush with kerosene or liquid detergent to remove the dirt 7 See REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE on page 7 of this manual 8. All replacement parts must meet manufacturer's specifications.
