7. Fill the engine’s fuel tank to within about 1-1/2" of the
neck with fresh, clean, lead-free automotive gasoline
(Figure 27).
8. Attach the spark plug wire and make sure the fuel
shut-off valve is in the “ON” position.
9. Move the choke control lever to the “CHOKE”
position.
10. Move the throttle control lever to the “fast” position.
11. Grasp the recoil starter handle and slowly pull until
you feel resistance. Let the cord retract a little bit, then
pull the cord rapidly to start the engine. One or two
pulls usually starts the engine.
12. Move the choke control lever back to the “RUN”
position when the engine is running.
13. With the engine running, push the control valve
handle to the retract position and retract the cylinder
piston (Figure 28). The cylinder valve will automatically
stop the cylinder from retracting when it reaches the
end of its stroke. Cycle the wood splitter several times.
14. Move the throttle control lever
to the “SLOW” position and then to the “STOP” position to stop the engine.
15. Again, check the fluid level in the hydraulic tank and add fluid as needed. Replace and tighten the fill
cap.
16. Your DR 22-Ton Vertical/Horizontal Wood Splitter is now ready to use.

BE CAREFUL NOT TO SPILL FUEL WHEN FILLING THE ENGINE. IF FUEL SHOULD SPILL, QUICKLY WIPE
OFF AND ALLOW THE EXCESS FUEL TO EVAPORATE BEFORE CONTINUING. FUEL AND FUEL VAPORS
ARE HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND CAN CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY OR EVEN DEATH WHEN IGNITED.
DO NOT MIX OIL WITH THE GASOLINE. USING MIXED OIL/GASOLINE IN A FOUR CYCLE ENGINE CAN
CAUSE ENGINE DAMAGE.
DO NOT REMOVE THE CAP FROM THE HYDRAULIC TANK
OR RESERVOIR WHILE THE WOOD SPLITTER IS RUNNING.
HOT OIL, UNDER PRESSURE, COULD BE EXPELLED
RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY.
