SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING:

The engine exhaust from this product contains chemicals known to the state of California

to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.

DANGER:

Your log splitter was built to be operated according to the rules for safe operation in this

manual. As with any type of power equipment, carelessness or error on the part of the operator can result

in serious injury. If you violate any of these rules, you may cause serious injury to yourself or others.

• Read and understand the manual. Learn to operate this equipment in a safe manner. Familiarize

yourself with all of the controls in a safe environment before starting to work with this machine.

• DO NOT under any circumstances alter this log splitter. This equipment was designed and

engineered in accordance with operating instructions. Altering this equipment, or using this

equipment in such a way as to circumvent its design capabilities and capacities, could result in

serious injury or fatality and WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.

• Allow ONLY responsible adults who have read this manual to operate this machine. NEVER

allow children to operate this machine.

• NEVER operate or allow someone to operate this equipment while under the influence of

alcohol, drugs or medication. Being coherent is essential for safety.

• ALWAYS use outdoors with adequate ventilation. DON’T run the engine in an enclosed area.

Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide. This odorless gas can be deadly when inhaled.

• NEVER use splitter for any other purpose than splitting wood. Any other use can result in

injury. Your splitter is a precision piece of power equipment, not a toy. Therefore, exercise

extreme caution at all times.

• ONLY a single operator is to load and operate the log splitter. KEEP all others, including pets

and children, a minimum of 20 feet away from your work area. More accidents occur when

more than one person operates the log splitter than any other time.

• ALWAYS wear protective gear such as safety goggles, protective hearing device, steel-toed

shoes, and tight-fitting gloves without drawstrings or loose cuffs.

• NEVER wear loose clothing or jewelry that can be caught by moving parts of the splitter and

pull you into it. Keep hair away from moving parts.

• NEVER operate your splitter on wet, muddy, or icy surfaces. KEEP work area clean of split

wood. Safe footing is essential in preventing accidents.

•

ONLY operate splitter on level ground with wheels blocked, not on the side of a hill. It could

tip, or 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 ram 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 b

e cut as squarely as possible to prevent the log from sliding out of the splitter during

operation. Log length should be kept to 19” or less.

• NEVER allow persons to ride on splitter. DO NOT carry any cargo or wood on your splitter. It may fall off and

cause an accident.

• 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.

ASSEMBLY

This log splitter has been partially assembled at the factory. 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 with approximately 6 Quarts of general-purpose automatic transmission fluid or

general-purpose hydraulic fluid. After the hydraulic reservoir and the engine crankcase are filled correctly with

their respective oils, start the engine. Remember to set the throttle and turn on the fuel shut-off valve. The

hydraulic pump should prime itself. 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 indicates that there is air in the system). Once the

cylinder has a smooth and constant speed indicating that all air has been expelled, add another 2 quarts of oil.

Fluid level should be maintained approximately 3” below the fill hole and above the flat on the dipstick. This

model requires approx. 9-10 Quarts of hydraulic fluid.

NOTE:

If the tank is overfilled, it will tend to expel oil from the breather cap when the cylinder is retracted.

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. If applicable 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 if applicable are turned to their ON positions.

STARTING INSTRUCTIONS

Briggs & Stratton 4HP Engine

1. Move throttle control to “FAST.”

2. Push primer bulb three (3) times. NOTE: Do not use primer to restart a warm engine after a short

shutdown.

3. Grasp rope handle and pull out slowly until resistance it felt. Then pull rapidly with a full arm stroke.

NOTE: If engine fails to start after three (3) pulls, repeat steps 1 and 2.

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 to “STOP.”

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 push block 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. 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.

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.

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 of the engine and moving the control handle back and forth several times.

NEVER remove the ca

p 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.

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. Fluid level should be maintained approximately 3” below the fill hole and above

the flat on the dipstick.

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 to be thrown into the

eyes, resulting in severe eye damage. Always wear certified safety glasses or

wide-vision safety goggles over spectacles before starting 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.
