GENERAL SAFETY Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury or death. EVER NEVER allow children or adults lacking proper instructions and understanding to operate this log splitter. KEEP all people and pets a minimum of 10 feet away from your work area when operating this log splitter. Only the operator is to be near the log splitter during use.
KNOW how to stop the log splitter and disengage the controls before operating it. NEVER place hands or feet between the log and splitting wedge during forward or reverse stroke. Serious injury or death could result. NEVER straddle or step over the log splitter during operation. NEVER reach or bend over the log splitter to pick up a log.
HYDRAULIC SAFETY The hydraulic system of your log splitter requires careful inspection along with the mechanical parts. Be sure to replace frayed, kinked, cracked or otherwise damaged hydraulic hose and components. NEVER check for leaks of hydraulic fluid with your hand. Fluid escaping from a small hole can be almost invisible. Escaping fluid under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate skin causing serious personal injury or even death.
IMPORTANT NOTE: This log splitter 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 ar- rester meeting applicable local or state laws (if any). If a spark arrester is used, it should be maintained in efffective working order by the operator.
EMBLY INSTRUCTIONS NOTE: The following instructions pertain to four SpeeCo log splitters, the 22 ton (LS401221N), 25 ton (LS401216N), 28 ton (LS401213N) and the 34 ton (LS401224N). The four models share most of the component parts. Any differences are noted in the parts list and assembly instructions.
STEP 2: The hydraulic reservoir should be filled with an SAE 20 hydraulic oil. If hydraulic oil is difficult to obtain, automatic transmission fluid can be substituted and should be used instead of hydraulic oil when temperatures are below 32 degrees F. Use only clean oil and take care to prevent dirt from entering the hydraulic reservoir.
STEP 3: The engine maximum governed speed is preset at the factory at 3600 RPM no load speed. When splitting wood, the throttle should be set at the maximum setting to develop the horsepower required for the pump. TOWING The 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.
