Preparing the Log Splitter for Operation

What happens here

After removing the plastic and wooden frame, the log splitter is still on the pallet. To prepare it for use, first locate the integrated jack on the front of the machine and lower it all the way to its lowest point. Next, remove the safety pin securing the removable stand (leveler) and insert the leveler into the appropriate slot to stabilize the machine on the ground. Check the hydraulic fluid level using the integrated gauge (it should read 'Full Cold' before starting). Finally, locate the engine and check the motor oil level using the dipstick, ensuring it is at the correct level, and turn the fuel valve to the 'on' position. This model features a Honda GX engine, which has both a pull-start and an optional key-start, as well as an hour meter.

Goal: Ensure the log splitter is stable and fluids are checked before starting
