What happens here
The creator attempts to start the Wolfe Ridge log splitter. He first turns on the fuel, engages the choke, and turns the key to the 'on' position. However, the electric start fails due to a dead battery. He then manually pulls the starter cord, successfully bringing the Honda GX engine to life. He adjusts the choke as the engine warms up. Before heading out, he checks the hydraulic fluid levels, ensuring they are at the correct 'full cold' mark, and confirms the engine oil is also at the proper level. He emphasizes the importance of these checks for optimal performance.
Goal: Start the log splitter and perform initial checks
