Such informationmay be obtainedbycallingyour
state or localbureau of motorvehicles.Any
licensingor modificationsneededto complywith
federal, local or state vehicle requirements is the
sole responsibility of the purchaser.
Make sure you follow the wiring diagram color
codes when installing the light kit on the log
splitter. (e.g. ground to ground, left turn to ]eft
turn, etc.). Failure to wire unit correctly may
cause the tow vehicle wiring to overheat and/or
the log splitter lights to operate incorrectly.It may
be necessary to replace the turn signal flasher
unit in your tow vehicle if it is not capable of
operating the additional lights on the logsplitter.
Before towing the log splitter on a street, highway
or public road, verify that all lightsare functioning
properly and the yellow side reflectors are in
position. Replace bulbs if they are burnt out.
Before towing, always check to be certain the log
splitter is correctly and securely attached to the
tow vehicle, and safety chains are in place.
Leave slack in chains for turning allowance.
Use a class I or higher hitch with a 1-7/8" bail.
Keep ball socket and clamp face lubricated with
chassis grease.
Be sure the coupler is secured to the hitch ball
and the lock lever is down tight and locked.
Check vehicle hitch,ball and couplerfor signsof
wear or damage. Replace any parts that are worn
or dam-agedbefore towing.
The coupler must be secured to the log splitter
tongue tube with the original equipment bolts and
nuts. See your authorized service dealer for
replacement parts. Coupler nuts should be
tightened securely (20 foot pounds).
Make sure beam assembly is securely latched in

Check the fuel beforestartingthe engine.
Gasolineis an extremelyflammablefuel. Do not
fill the gasolinetank indoors,when the engineis
running,or whilethe engine is stillhot. Replace

Knowhow to stop the unit and disengagethe
controls.
Never place hands or feet between log and
splittingwedge or between log and end plate
duringforward or reverse stroke.To do so may
resultin crushedor amputatedfingers or toes, or
worse,you may lose an arm or foot.
Do not straddlethe splitterwhen usingit. A slip
in any positioncould resultin a seriousinjury.
Do not step over your logsplitterwhen the
engine is running.You may tripor accidentally
activatethe splittingwedge ifyou step over. If
you need to get to the otherside, walk around.
Never try to splittwo logson top of each other.
One may fly out and injureyou.
When loadingthe log splitter,place yourhands
on the side of the log, not at the ends.Never
attemptto load yoursplitterwhilethe splitting
wedge is in motion.You may get caughtby the
wedge and injured.
Only use yourhand to operatethe splitting
wedge or controllever.Never use yourfoot or a
ropeor any otherextensiondevice.This could
resultin your inability to stopyour splitterquickly
enoughto avoid injury.
Always keep fingers away from any cracksthat
openin the logduringsplittingoperation.They
can quickly close and pinchor amputateyour
fingers.
Never attempttosplitwoodsacrossthe grain.
Sometypesof woodmay burstor fly out of your
splitterand resultin injuryto you or a bystander.
For logsthat are notcut square,the longest
portionofthe logshouldbe rotateddownand
the mostsquareend placedagainstthe splitting
wedge.
Keep yourwork area clean. Immediately
remove splitwoodaround your splitterso that
you do not stumbleover it. Clean chipsand dirt
offend plate (woodplatform)aftereach logis
split,or whenevernecessaryto maintainflat
contactbetweenwood and end plate (platform).
Never movethe log splitterwhilethe engine is
running.
Never leave yourlogsplitterunattendedwith the
enginerunning.Shut off the engine ifyou are
leavingyoursplitter,even for a shortperiodof
time. Someonecouldaccidentally activatethe
splittingwedge and be injured.
Do not runengine in an enclosed area. Exhaust
gases containcarbon monoxide.This odorless
gas can be deadlywhen inhaled.
Be carefulnotto touchthe mufflerafterthe
engine has been running.It willbe HOT!
if the equipmentshouldstarttovibrate
abnormally, stopthe engine and check
immediatelyfor the cause. Vibrationis generally
a warningoftrouble.
When cleaning,repairingor inspecting,make

Responsibilities
Do not operateyoursplitterin poor mechanical
conditionor when in need of repair.
Periodicallycheckthat all nuts,bolts, screws,
hose clampsand hydraulicfittings are tightto be
sure equipmentis in safe workingcondition.
Where appropriate, check all safety guardsand
shieldstobe sure theyare in the properposition.
Never operateyoursplitterwith safetyguards,
shieldsor otherprotectivefeatures removed.
These safety devicesare for yourprotection.
Replace all damaged orworn partssuch as
hydraulichosesand fittingsimmediatelywith
manufacturerapprovedreplacementparts.
Do notchangethe engine governorsettingsor
overspeedthe engine.This increasesthe
hazard ofpersonalinjury.The maximumengine
speed ispreset bythe manufacturerand is
withinsafety limits.
Do not alteryour log splitter in any mannersuch
as attaching a rope or extensionto the control
lever or adding to the widthor height of the
•
wedge. Such alterationsmay cause your splitter
to be unsafe.
Perform all recommendedmaintenance
proceduresbefore you use your splitter.
Do not service or repair your logsplitterwithout
disconnectingthe spark plugwire and movingit
away from the spark plug.
Never storethe equipmentwith gasolinein the
tank insideof a buildingwhere ignitionsources
are present, such as hot waterand space
heaters, clothesdryers and the like. Allowthe
engine to cool beforestodng in any enclosure.
Always store gasolinein an approved,tightly
sealed container.Store the containerin a cool,
dry place. Do not store in a buildingwhere
ignitionsourcesare present.
To reducefire hazard, keep engine free ofgrass,
leaves, wood chips,and excessivegrease and
oil.
The hydraulicsystem ofyourlogsplitterrequires
careful inspection,along withthe mechanical
parts. Be sure to replace frayed, kinked,or
otherwise damaged hydrauliccomponents.
Fluid escaping from a very small holecan be
almost invisible. Do not check for leakswith your
hand. Escaping fluid under pressure can have
sufficient force to penetrate skin, causing
• serious personal injury. Leaks can be located by
passing a piece of cardboard or wood over the
suspected leak and looking for discoloration.
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.
Do not remove the cap from the hydraulic tank or
reservoir while your log splitteris running. Hot oil
under pressure could cause injury.
The pressure relief valve on your splitter is
preset at the factory. Do not adjust the valve.
Only a qualified service technician should
perform this adjustment.
Completely drain fuel tank prior to storage. This
guards against accumulation of fuel fumes
whichcould resultin a fire hazard.
Never store log splitter outside without a
waterproof cover. Rain will cause rust on the
inside of the cylinder.

the reservoir tank, and drain the fluid into a
suitable container.
Refill using only Dexron III automatic
transmission fluid or 10W non-foaming hydraulic
fluid. Also, make certain to change the hydraulic
filter.
NOTE: Drain the fluid and flush the reservoir tank and
hoses with kerosene whenever any repair work is
performed on the tank, hydraulic pump or valve.
Contaminants in the fluid will damage the hydraulic
components. Repairs to hydraulic components should
be performedby a Sears service center.

the oil's viscosity grade according to the
expected operating temperature. Refer to
page 10 of this manual for viscosity chart.
•
Stop engine and wait several minutes before
checking oil level. With engine on level ground,
the.oil must be to FULL mark on dipstick.
Change engine oil after the first five hours of
operation, and every 25 hours thereafter.
Change oil more frequently if the engine is
operated under heavy load, or in high ambient
temperatures.
Drain oil while engine is warm. Follow the instructions
given below.
Remove oil drain plug and dipstick. Catch oil in a
