Test Run/Break-In
During this procedure do not leave the area.
To test run and break-in the log splitter:
1. Read and understand the Briggs & Stratton
engine manual that accompanied this log
splitter and follow all safety precautions.
2. Read and understand this entire manual and
follow all safety precautions.
3. Make sure the hydraulic tank and engine
have been filled to the required oil levels.
4. Start the engine and let it run at 75% throttle
for one hour to break in the motor.
5. Move the control lever to cycle the log
splitter ram back and forth periodically during
the break-in process to bleed the hydraulic
system and look for oil leaks. Do not operate
the log splitter at full load until after the engine
break-in has been completed.
6. After the first 5 to 10 hours of initial operation,
change the engine oil.
If any problem or oil leak is found, before you
troubleshoot or correct the problem:
1. Shut the engine down immediately and let it
cool for at least 15 minutes to prevent burn
injuries.
2. Disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark
plug to prevent the possibility of accidental
start-up.
3. If an oil leak is suspected or seen, DO NOT
touch the area to find the leak. Move the
control lever completely to the forward and
backward positions to relieve any hydraulic
pressure and prevent the possibility of any
hydraulic injection fluid injury during repair.
4. Refer to Troubleshooting on Page 22 for
solutions, or call Technical Support at (570)
