THROTTLE CONTROL SELF TAPPING SCREW (G) FIGURE 14 OPERATION 1. Service engine with gas and oil. See engine manual packed with log splitter for complete instruction' for the care and maintenance of engine. RE/ DIRECTIONS CAREFULLY. 2. Fill fuel tank with one gallon of regular grade gasoline. See figure 15. 3. Engine will require 2-3/4 pints of SAE 30 or 10W30 oil. Remove fill plug. See figure 15. 4. Open fuel shut-off valve. See figure 15. FUEL TANK C; FUEL SHUT-OFF VALVE FIGURE 15 A CAUTION You must not operate log splitter without proper amount of oil in reservoir tank. 5. Remove the breather plug from breather tube. See figure 16. Pour 2-1/2 gallons of 10W30 H.D. 8 oil ONLY into breather tube. FIGURE 16 BEFORE STARTING ENGINE: During initial break-in period, oil level should be watched closely. See ENGINE MAINTENANCE. Use MS classification oil. Do not use oils marked only MM or ML or unmarked. Above 32° use SAE 30; below 32° use SAE 10W. These recommendations must be followed for best performance and long life.
