Log Lifter: Accessory for a log splitter that lifts logs onto log
splitter. Fits model 11954 log splitter.
WARNING: HYDRAULIC INJECTION HAZARD. High fluid pressures and temperatures are
developed in hydraulic log splitters. To avoid hydraulic injection, shut off the engine, disconnect the
spark plug, and move all control valve handles back and forth to relieve system pressures before
beginning assembly. 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 puncture wound that does not look serious. However,
severe blood poisoning, infection, disability, gangrene, amputation, or death can result if proper
medical treatment is not administered immediately by a doctor who is familiar with injection injuries.
WARNING: HEAVY LIFTING The assembly of this product requires lifting heavy parts. Two or
more people are required during some steps. Serious back injury can occur.
