the

moving

parts.

2.

Do

not

operate

equipment

when

barefoot

or

wearing

open

sandals.

Always

wear

safety

shoes

or

heavy

boots.

A

dropped

log

seriously

injure

your

foot.

3.

Check

the

and

hit

your

eyes.

7.

Both

ends

of

each

log

must

be

cut

square.

This

the

equipment

should

start

to

vibrate

abnor¬

mally,

cleaning,

repairing

or

inspecting,

make

certain

all

moving

parts

have

stopped.

Disconnect

the

spark

plug

wire,

and

keep

the

wire

away

from

the

plug

to

prevent

accidental

starting.

5.

Handle

gasoline

with

care.

It

is

highly

flammable.

A.

approved

gasoline

container.

B.

Never

remove

cap

or

add

gasoline

to

a

running

or

hot

engine

or

fill

fuel

tank

indoors.

Wipe

up

spilled

gasoline.

C.

Don't

run

engine

in

an

enclosed

area.

Ex¬

haust

gases

contain

carbon

and

STORAGE

1.

Don't

operate

your

splitter

in

poor

mechanical

condition

or

when

in

need

of

repair.

2.

Keep

all

nuts,

bolts,

screws,

hose

clamp;

and

hydraulic

fittings

tight

to

be

sure

equipmant

is

in

safe

working

condition.

3.

Replace

all

damaged

or

worn

parts

such

«s

hy¬

draulic

hoses

and

fittings

immediately

with

manu¬

facturer

approved

replacement

parts.

4.

Never

store

the

equipment

with

gasoline

in

the

tank

inside

of

a

building

where

fumes

may

reach

an

open

flame

or

spark.

Allow

the

engine

to

cool

before

storing

in

any

enclosure.

_

5.

To

reduce

fire

hazard

keep

engine

free

of

grai

leaves,

wood

chips,

excessive

grease

and

oil.

6.

The

hydraulic

system

of

your

log

splitter

re¬

quires

the

careful

inspection

along

with

the

mechanical

parts.

Be

sure

to

replace

frayed,

kinked,

cracked

or

otherwise

damaged

hydraulic

components.

7.

Fluid

escaping

from

a

very

small

hole

can

almost

be

invisible.

Do

not

check

for

leaks

with

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.

8.

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.

9.

Don't

remove

the

cap

from

the

hydraulic

tank

or

reservoir

while

your

log

splitter

is

running.

Hot

oil

under

pressure

could

cause

injury.

10.

Never

store

outside

without

a

waterproof

cover

-

Rain

will

cause

rust

on

the

inside

of

the

cylindei
