rolling logs, poor footing, etc. could cause an accident.

This Safety Alert Symbol indicates important messages in this manual.

When you see this symbol, carefully read the message that follows and be

alert to the possibility of personal injury.

Read this manual completely. This machine can amputate hands, feet, and throw objects.

Failure to observe the following safety instructions could result in serious injury or death.

NEVER operate your splitter near a flame or spark. Hydraulic oil and gasoline are flammable and can

explode.

NEVER fill gas tank while the engine is hot or running. Allow the engine to cool before refueling.

This unit 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.

-NOTE-

In the state of California, the above is required by law (Section 442 of the California Public Resources Code).

Other states may have similar laws. Federal laws apply on federal lands. A spark arrester muffler (optional by

manufacturer) is available at your nearest engine dealer. Check legal requirements in your area.

ONLY use your hands to operate the control lever. NEVER use foot, knee, rope or any extension device.

Split ONLY one log at a time. NEVER attempt to split two logs on top of each other.

NEVER place hands or feet between log and splitting wedge or between log and buttplate during forward

or reverse stroke. ALWAYS keep fingers clear of splits that open in log during splitting operation.

DO NOT straddle or reach across the splitting area while operating the splitter.

DO NOT step over splitter when the engine is running. You may trip or accidentally activate the splitting

wedge. Walk around to get to the other side.

NEVER attempt to load splitter while splitting wedge is in motion. When loading log splitter, place hands

on the sides of the log, not the ends.

NEVER attempt to split woods across the grain. Wood may burst or fly out of your splitter and result in

serious injury.

NEVER leave your splitter unattended with the engine running. Shut off the engine if you are leaving

your splitter, even for a short period of time. Someone could accidentally activate the ram and be injured.

Both ends of the log should be cut as squarely as possible to prevent the log from sliding out of the splitter

during operation. Log length should be kept to 24” or less.

NEVER operate your splitter while it is attached to the tow vehicle.

BEFORE towing, be certain that the splitter is securely attached to the towing vehicle and that the support

leg, beam, 4-way wedge and cylinder are secured in there respective towing positions.

DO NOT loosen or remove any hydraulic fitting, line or reservoir cap while your splitter or engine is

running.

Fluid escaping from a very small hole can almost be invisible. DO NOT check for leaks with your hand.

See maintenance section for instructions. IF injured by escaping fluid, see a doctor at once. Serious

infection or reaction can develop if proper medical treatment is not administered immediately.

DO NOT operate your splitter in poor mechanical condition or when it is need of repair.

ALWAYS disconnect the spark plug wire and place the wire where it cannot contact the spark plug, to

prevent accidental starting the engine when setting up, transporting, adjusting or repairing.

TOWING SAFETY

Do not allow persons to ride on splitter. Do not carry any cargo or wood on your

splitter. It may fall off and endanger vehicles that are following you.

Be sure support leg is in the travel position and coupling secure. This must also be

retracted so as not to interfere while towing. Retract support leg by removing pin,

pivoting up, and replacing pin.

Never exceed 45 MPH while towing your splitter. Be extra cautious when traveling

over rough terrain, especially over railroad tracks.

Always be careful while backing your splitter. You could jackknife your log splitter

if not careful.

Before using splitter, disconnect it from tow vehicle. A log could easily be pushed

forward into the vehicle.

See proper inflation instructions on side of tires.

Be aware of the extra length of splitter while turning, parking, crossing intersections,

and in all driving situations.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

POSI-LOCK COUPLER

ADJUST COUPLER LOCKING PRESSURE ON BALL BEFORE USE. PLACE HANDLE IN LOCKED

NEVER EXCEED WEIGHT CAPACITY AND ALWAYS USE SAFETY CHAINS. ALWAYS USE

CORRECT BALL SIZE, MAKING SURE BALL IS COMPLETELY INSERTED INTO COUPLER. LOCK

COUPLER HANDLE SECURELY BEFORE TOWING. ALWAYS CHECK FOR DAMAGES AND

REPLACE IF DAMAGED. AVOID SHARP TURNS AND STEEP VERTICAL ANGLES WHEN TOWING.

ASSEMBLY

Refer to the drawings and part lists should it become necessary to disassemble the unit for repair or replacement of

parts.

Inspect all components for damage. If you believe you have a damaged part please contact customer service

immediately at 1-800-222-8183.

WARNING: Exercise extreme caution, as parts are very heavy. Sufficient persons or mechanical handling

equipment should be used.

Refer to uncrating and assembly instructions for assembly procedures.

OPERATION

INTENDED USE: This log splitter is intended and designed to only split wood. NEVER use for any other

purposes. Doing so can cause injury or VOID THE WARRANTY.

IMPORTANT: This unit is shipped with oil but without gasoline in the engine. After assembly, see separate

Engine Manual for proper fuel and oil recommendations.

WARNING: DO NOT START OR RUN THE LOG SPLITTER WITHOUT OIL IN THE ENGINE AND

HYDRAULIC RESERVOIR.

FILLING THE HYDRAULIC RESERVOIR

Fill the hydraulic reservoir to the top mark on the dipstick or, depending on your Log Splitter model, to the lower fill

line of the reservoir with DexronIII / Merconautomatic transmission fluid, 10W AW hydraulic fluid or Pro-Mix

AW-32 Hydraulic oil. After the hydraulic reservoir and the engine crankcase are filled correctly with their respective

oils, set the throttle and turn on the fuel shut-off valve. The engine is now ready to start by following the starting

instructions listed below. With the engine running, move the hydraulic valve lever toward the wedge. 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 and wedge indicates that there is air in the system). Once the cylinder has

a smooth and constant speed indicating that all air has been expelled, shut the system off and refill the reservoir until

the fluid is in the safe operating range as specified by the marks on the dipstick.

START UP

WARNING: DO NOT START OR RUN THE LOG SPLITTER WITHOUT OIL IN THE ENGINE

AND HYDRAULIC RESERVOIR.

See separate Engine Manual for fuel and oil recommendations. Your log splitter has come equipped with a fuel shut-

off valve for towing purposes.

Before starting engine make sure crankcase is filled correctly with oil and the proper fuel has been used. The engine

will only start when the throttle lever and fuel shut-off valve are turned to their ON positions.

STARTING INSTRUCTIONS

Note: The engine may be equipped with an integrated automatic choking system.

1. Move throttle control to “FAST.”

2. Turn ignition key to the “ON” position to start engine.

3. If Engine is equipped with manual choke lever, pull choke lever out. (Depending on current conditions unit

may not need to be choked).

4. When engine starts, leave throttle control at “FAST.” The throttle must be set in the fast position for

maximum performance.

5. To stop engine, move throttle lever to “SLOW” for a few seconds then turn the ignition key to the “OFF”

position.

IMPORTANT: This engine is not equipped with a spark arrester muffler. It is a violation of California

Public Resource Code Section 4442 to use or operate the engine on any forest-covered, brush-

covered, or grass-covered land. Other states or federal areas may have similar laws.

4-WAY WEDGE OPERATION: See 18851 Owners Manual in parts bag.

SPLITTER OPERATION

1. Set up the log splitter in a clear, level area and block the wheels. The suction port on the tank should always

be on the lower side of the log splitter.

2. Place a log on the beam, against the foot plate. Make sure the log is securely on the foot plate and up against

the beam.

3. Depress the valve lever 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, reposition log and repeat process. NOTE: 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 ends that are not square.

NOTE: To extend the life of the hydraulic cylinder, avoid “BOTTOMING OUT” the cylinder.

4. When using the Log Splitter in the vertical position, make sure the beam latch is engaged as shown below.

Pull the bent pin outward then twist and release it to hold the I-beam in place.

TOWING SAFETY

This unit should not be towed on any street, highway, or public road without checking the existing federal, local, and

state laws. Any licensing or modifications such as taillights, etc., need to comply with existing federal, local, or state

vehicle requirements is the sole responsibility of the purchaser. Obey all regulations when towing on public roads and

highways. See also SAFETY PRECAUTIONS.

*Turn the fuel shut-off valve OFF to prevent flooding of the engine while traveling.

*Ensure that 4-way wedge is placed securely in the towing position, fastened to the motorbase or in

the towing vehicle.

*Be careful when backing up. You can easily jack-knife your splitter.

TOWING AT NIGHT

The requirements for taillights are based on States regulations. Some states allow towing at night as long

as the towed equipment does not visibly impair the tow vehicle taillights. This is based on a state, to state

requirements. The customer is responsible for meeting the states requirements.

If a “Statement of Origin” is required in your state, see your local dealer to receive one.

HYDRAULIC SAFETY

The hydraulic system on your splitter requires careful inspection along with the mechanical parts. Be sure to replace

any frayed, kinked, cracked or otherwise damaged hydraulic components. Just because it isn’t leaking today doesn’t

mean that it will not fail tomorrow.

MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

WARNING: DISCONNECT THE SPARK PLUG BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE.

Consult the operating and maintenance instructions of the engine manufacturer for engine care.

Always check the oil level of the hydraulic reservoir before operation. Operating without an adequate oil

supply will cause severe damage to the pump. Change the hydraulic fluid in the reservoir after every 100 hours of

operation. Change the hydraulic filter after every 50 hours of operation (use only a 10 micron hydraulic filter).

Periodically check that all nuts, bolts, screws, clamps and fittings are tight and secure.

To keep your splitter in top working condition perform all recommended maintenance procedures before you use

your splitter.

If the wedge becomes dull or nicked a grinder or sharpening tool can be used to sharpen it.

Completely drain the fuel tank prior to storage. Always store gasoline in an approved, tightly sealed container. Store

container in a dry, cool place with adequate ventilation. Keep fuel away from areas where fumes could contact open

flame, pilot light or sparks.

Be aware of the environment when disposing of used petroleum products. Please dispose of used hydraulic

fluid, engine oil and any by products from the maintenance of your splitter at approved recycling centers.

Should it become necessary to disassemble the unit for repair or replacement of parts, refer to the drawings and parts

list on the following pages. Exercise extreme caution, as some parts are very heavy and will require sufficient

persons or mechanical handling equipment.

Your Swisher Log Splitter has been produced with components designed specifically to this machine. Although

standard springs, hardware and ect may look similar to parts used on other machinery, they may in some cases

be made of a different construction and/or materials. All replacement parts must meet manufacturer’s

specifications.

The operation of any splitter can produce foreign objects which can be thrown

into the eyes, resulting in severe eye damage. Always wear certified safety

glasses or wide-vision safety goggles over spectacles before staring any

splitting machine and while operating such a machine.

The operation of any splitter produces sound waves that are damaging to the

human ear. Ear protection is recommended.

*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 or even death.

Leaks can be detected by passing a piece of cardboard or wood over the suspected leak and looking for

discoloration. IF injured by escaping fluid, see a doctor at once. Serious infection or reaction can develop if

proper medical treatment is not administered immediately.

*Should it become necessary to loosen or remove any hydraulic fittings, lines or reservoir cap, be sure to relieve

all pressure by shutting off the engine and moving the control handle back and forth several times.

*NEVER remove the cap from the hydraulic tank or reservoir while the unit is running. Hot oil under pressure

could result in serious injury. See also SAFETY PRECAUTIONS.

The pressure relief valve on your splitter is preset at the factory. DO NOT adjust the valve. Only a

qualified technician should perform this adjustment.

*NEVER run the log splitter for extended periods of time without cycling the cylinder. Running the unit

without cycling hydraulic fluid throughout the entire system will cause excessive heat build up in all

components.
