Operation - Ryobi RYAC490 Manual Del Operador

ASSEMBLING THE WHEELS
See Figure 3.
 Locate the axle and the hardware bag.
 Slide a washer onto the axle and insert the axle through
the wheel. Slide a second washer onto the axle.
 Lift the unit slightly and and insert the axle through the
hole in the frame.
WARNING:
Do not allow familiarity with tools to make you careless.
Remember that a careless fraction of a second is suf-
ficient to inflict serious injury.
WARNING:
Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to
comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do so could result in
objects being thrown into your eyes, resulting in possible
serious injury.
WARNING:
Do not use any attachments or accessories not recom-
mended by the manufacturer of this tool. The use of at-
tachments or accessories not recommended can result
in serious personal injury.
CAUTION:
The log splitter is heavy. Seek assistance from a second
person when lifting the log splitter to avoid possible injury.
NOTICE:
Before each use, inspect the entire product for damaged,
missing, or loose parts such as screws, nuts, bolts, caps,
etc. Tighten securely all fasteners and caps and do not
operate this product until all missing or damaged parts
are replaced. Please contact customer service or a quali-
fied service center for assistance.
ASSEMBLY
 Slide a washer onto the axle. Push the hitch pin into
the hole on the end of the axle to secure the wheel
assembly.
NOTE: The hitch pin should be pushed into the axle until
the center of the pin rests on top of the axle.
 Repeat with the second wheel assembly.

OPERATION

BEFORE USING THE LOG SPLITTER
See Figures 4 - 5.
WARNING:
Ensure all hydraulic fluid system components are secured
and in good condition before starting the log splitter. Keep
your body and hands away from pinholes, cracked, or
damaged bleed screw, oil drain bolt/dipstick, hydraulic
fluid tank/bolts, fittings, or other hydraulic fluid system
components. Leaks can be located by passing cardboard
or wood over the suspected area. Look for discoloration.
If injured by escaping fluid, see a doctor at once. Serious
injury, infection, and/or reaction can develop if proper
medical treatment is not administered immediately.
Never operate the log splitter until the bleed screw has been
slightly loosened (one to two full turns). Air flow through the
bleed screw should be detectable once the log splitter is
started. If no air flow is detected, loosen the screw until the
air flow can be felt.
Air must flow in and out of the oil tank during operation to
prevent the seals in the hydraulic system from rupturing.
Always check the oil level before you start the log splitter.
To check the oil level:
 Unplug the log splitter.
 Using the lift handle, stand the log splitter up on the end
with the wheels (see figure 12).
 Using an 8 mm hex key, remove the oil drain bolt and
wipe the dipstick clean.
 Reinsert it back into the oil tank.
 Remove the dipstick and check to see if the oil level is
between the first and second groove on the dipstick.
 If there is not enough oil in the oil tank, add oil until the
proper level is reached.
 If there is the proper amount of oil in the oil tank, wipe the
dipstick clean, then replace it in the oil tank and tighten
the oil drain bolt securely.
NOTE: See Replacing Hydraulic Oil in the Maintenance
section for recommended oil or equivalents.
