TOWING

This log splitter is equipped with pneumatic tires, a Class I coupler (2 in. diameter ball required) and safety chains. Before towing, the safety chains
must be secured to the hitch or bumper of the vehicle. Local regulations should be checked regarding licensing, lights, towing, etc. Turn fuel shut off
valve on the engine to the "Off" position prior to towing. Failure to do so may result in flooding the engine. Do not exceed 45 mph when towing this
log splitter. See also Towing Safety on page 4 of this manual.

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 hydraulic oil filter after the first 25 hours of operation. Thereafter change the oil filter every 100 hours or seasonally, whichever comes
first.
4) To drain the hydraulic oil, loosen the clamp on the suction 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 1/2 in. diameter 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 be removed. 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.
7) EWZ pivot bushing should need no maintenance. For lower sliding force, bushing may be greased as required. Following operation instructions,
lock beam in the vertical position on a safe stable surface. Remove pivot screw and nut. Remove bushing and sleeve and apply light coating of
grease. Reinstall bushing and sleeve. Reinstall screw and nut.
8)See also Repair and Maintenance Safety on page 3-4 of this manual.
9) All replacement parts must meet manufacturer's specifications.
