Improper adjustment will cause stalling when splitter is under load, hard starting and higher fuel consumption. Refer to the separate engine manual packed with your log splitter for carburetor adjustment information. NOTE: A dirty air cleaner will cause engine to run rough. Be certain air cleaner is clean and attached to the carburetor before adjusting carburetor. Do not make unnecessary adjustments. Factory settings are satisfactory for most applications and conditions. MAINTENANCE Hex Bolts Bolts ■Back-Plate FIGURE 14. Periodically remove and replace the “gibs" (spacers) between the wedge plate and the back plate as follows. NOTE: If desired, the gibs may be rotated and/or turned over for even wear. 1. Remove the center bolt on top of the wedge plate. Slide the gib plate out. See figure 16. 2. Remove and replace the gibs. Reassemble the gib plate, making certain flat washers are in place under the gib plate. 3. Readjust the bolts on the side of the wedge plate as instructed previously. A WARNING: Always stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug wire before performing any maintenance or repairs. RESERVOIR FLUID Check the hydraulic fluid level in the log splitter reservoir tank before each use. Fluid level should be 1-1/2" to 2" from the top of the tank. Change the hydraulic fluid in the reservoir every 100 hours of operation. Disconnect the suction hose from the bottom of the reservoir tank, and drain the fluid into a suitable container. Refill using only Dexron II automatic transmission fluid or 10W non-foaming hydraulic fluid, as instructed in the “Initial Preparation” section of this manual, page 8. Also, make certain to change the hydraulic filter. NOTE: Drain the fluid and flush the reservoir tank and hoses with kerosene whenever any repair work is performed on the tank, hydraulic pump or valve. Contaminants in the fluid will damage the hydraulic components. (Should be performed by an authorized service dealer.) A WARNING: Use extreme caution when working with kerosene, as it is an extremely flammable fluid. HYDRAULIC FILTER Change the hydraulic filter every 50 hours of operation. Use only a 10 micron hydraulic filter. Order part number 723-0405. 11 I BEAM AND SPLITTING WEDGE Lubricate both sides of the beam where it contacts the splitting wedge with engine oil before each jse to obtain years of service. However, normal wear will occur. The wedge plate on the log splitter is designed so the gibs on the side of the wedge plate ran be easily removed and rotated and/or turned o'er for even wear. Make certain to readjust the adjustment bolts so wedge moves freely, but no excess space exists between the wedge plate and beam. HOSE CLAMPS Check the hose clamps on the suction hose (at ached to bottom of the pump) for proper tightness before each use. Check the hose clamps on the retur 1 hose at least once a season. ENGINE Refer to the separate engine manual for all nngine maintenance instructions. Maintain engine oil as instructed in the separate engine manual packed with your unit. Read anc follow instructions carefully. Service air cleaner every 25 hours under normal conditions. Clean every few hours under extremely dusty conditions. Poor engine performance anc flooding usually indicates that the air cleaner should be serviced. To service the air cleaner refer to the separate engine manual packed with your unit. The spark plug should be cleaned and the gaj reset once a season. Spark plug replacement is ecom-mended at the start of each season; check engine manual for correct plug type and gap specificatiDn. Clean the engine regularly with a cloth or brush. Keep the cooling system (blower housing area) clsan to permit proper air circulation which is essential to engine performance and life. Be certain to rerr ove all dirt and combustible debris from muffler area. FLEXIBLE PUMP COUPLER The flexible pump coupler is a nylon “spider” insert, located between the pump and engine shaft. Over a period of time, the coupler will harden and dete iorate. Replacement is needed if you detect vibration c r noise coming from the area between the engine end the pump. If the coupler fails completely, you will experience a loss of power. IMPORTANT: Never hit the engine shaft in any manner, as a blow will cause permanent damage to the engine. When replacing the flexible pump coupling, proceed as follows. Follow the instructions carefully as the alignment is critical. 1. Disconnect the spark plug wire, and secure it away from the spark plug. 2. Drain gasoline from fuel tank or place a piece of plastic film underneath the gas cap to prevent gasoline from leaking. 3. Using a 1/2 inch socket with an extension, remove the three bolts securing the engine to the engine mounting bracket. The three bolts can be found under the engine mounting bracket. 4. Carefully lift engine off mounting bracket and set aside on a sturdy, level surface. 5. Remove the nylon “spider” insert from the pump cou...
