WARNING

READ and UNDERSTAND this manual completely before using log splitter.

All operators of this equipment must read and completely understand all safety information, operating instructions, maintenance

and storage instructions. Failure to properly operate and maintain the log splitter could result in serious injury to the operator and

bystanders from moving parts that can crush or cut, flying objects, burns, fire or explosion, escaping high pressure hydraulic fluid,

or carbon monoxide poisoning in particular, be aware of the following hazards.

Crush and Cut Hazards

Moving parts can crush and cut hands and fingers. Keep hands clear of endplate, wedge, logs, and log strippers while

splitting.

High Pressure Hydraulic Fluid Hazards

High fluid pressures and temperatures are developed in hydraulic log splitters. Hydraulic fluid escaping through even a pin-

size hole opening 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.

Fire Hazards

•If your log splitter is intended for use near an ignitable forest, brush, or grassy covered land, the engine exhaust should be

equipped with a spark arrestor. See the "Specifications" section of this manual to determine if your splitter already has a spark

arrestor. If not equipped, call NorthStar Product Support for ordering information.

•Keep a fire extinguisher rated “ABC” nearby. Keep it properly charged and be familiar with its use.

About Your Log Splitter

Thank you for purchasing your NorthStar log splitter!

About Your Log Splitter:

This log splitter is a machine designed to split wood logs using a hydraulically powered moving wedge.

The log splitter's gasoline engine is used to pressurize the hydraulic system.

This log splitter is designed to split logs lengthwise with the grain only.

This log splitter model is capable of splitting logs up to 25 long and 16 in diameter.

Your splitter can be used in either a vertical or horizontal splitting position:

•When the splitter is set up to operate in the horizontal splitting position, a log is placed on the

horizontal beam and the wedge moves horizontally into the end of the log to split it.

•When the splitter is set up to operate in the vertical splitting position, the log is placed on the

endplate, upright on its end, and the wedge moves down into the top of the log to split it.

The horizontal splitting position is used for lighter logs that can be easily loaded onto the beam. The

vertical splitting position is used for heavier logs that are difficult to load onto the beam.

The technical specifications for your log splitter are provided in the Specifications section of this

manual.

WARNING

This log splitter uses a high-pressure hydraulic system to generate a very strong splitting

force.

Read the manual completely before using the machine to understand how to safely operate

and maintain it.

Follow all safety precautions presented throughout this manual. A summary of important safety

information can be found at the end of this manual.

Contact NorthStar Product Support at 1-800-270-0810 for any questions about the appropriate

use of this log splitter and/or optional accessories.

IMPORTANT!

Engine is shipped without oil. DO NOT start the engine before adding oil.

See Assembly Instructions section of this manual to assemble the log splitter before setup.

Step One:

Inspect Log

Splitter

Components.

Closely inspect all log splitter components.

(See Machine Components section of this manual for diagram of components.)

•If you have missing or damaged components, please contact Product Support at

1-800-270-0810.

Step Two:

Add Oil to Engine

Add oil to the engine. Using a funnel, add SAE 10W-30 oil up to the FULL mark

on the dipstick. (See engine Owner's Manual for oil capacity and location of fill cap.)

Step Three:

Add Hydraulic Oil

to Reservoir

WARNING: High fluid pressures and temperatures are developed in hydraulic log

splitters. Hydraulic fluid escaping through a pin hole sized opening can burn or puncture

skin, resulting in wounds that could cause blood poisoning, infection, disability,

gangrene, amputation, or death. Therefore, the following instructions should be heeded at

all times when inspecting or servicing the hydraulic components of the log splitter.

•NEVER check for leaks with your hand. Leaks can be located by holding a piece of

cardboard or wood (at least two feet long) with your hand at one end and passing the

other end over the suspected area (wear eye protection). Look for discoloration of the

cardboard or wood.

•NEVER adjust the pressure of the pump or valve.

•If injured by escaping fluid, no matter how small the wound is, see a doctor at once.

A typical injection injury may be a small wound that does not look serious.

However, severe infection or reaction can result if proper medical treatment is not

administered immediately by a doctor who is familiar with injection injuries.

1. Remove hydraulic oil dipstick.

2. Refer to the Specifications section for approximate hydraulic oil capacity.

3. Fill reservoir with 10 wt. AW32, ASLE H-150, or ISO 32 oil. Use a funnel

4. Replace hydraulic oil dipstick and check that oil level reads full. Note: Do not

thread in dipstick when checking oil level.

5. Disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug.

6. Pull on the starter grip recoil at least 20 times so that hydraulic fluid has cycled

through the pump.

7. Reconnect the spark plug wire to the spark plug

8. Start engine and use control valve handle to extend and retract wedge 5 (five) times

to remove air from the high pressure lines.

9. With wedge retracted, check oil level again.

10. Replace hydraulic oil fill/vent cap.

11. Start engine and use control valve handle to extend and retract wedge five (5) times

to remove air from the high-pressure lines.

12. With wedge retracted, check oil level again. Fill if necessary.

WARNING: NEVER remove the hydraulic oil fill cap when the engine is

running or hot. Hot oil can escape causing severe burns. Allow log splitter to cool

completely before removing hydraulic oil fill cap.

Note: If the log splitter will be run for long periods of time in outdoor temperatures

above 70°F, we recommend changing the hydraulic oil to DEXTRON III.

Step Four:

Lubricate Keepers

Pump grease into grease zerks found under each keeper. This will help prevent

wear between the keepers and beam.
