Log splitter manuals (find yours by brand)

The fastest way to solve a setup, maintenance, or troubleshooting question is to pull the manual for your exact model. Use the steps below, then jump to your brand.

Quick brand links

• NorthStar (Northern Tool)
• Champion
• CountyLine (Tractor Supply)
• Generac
• Honda GX engines (engine manuals)
• Example PDF link (Generac K10)

Step 1: Find the model tag (dont skip this)

Before searching, write down whats on the data plate. The model name on the store listing is often not precise enough.

• Brand
• Model number (this is the key)
• Serial number (sometimes needed for the right revision)
• Engine model (Honda GX160/GX200/GX390, etc.)

Where to look for the model tag

• On the beam/frame near the tongue/hitch
• Near the hydraulic tank/reservoir
• On the engine shroud (engine model plate)

Step 2: Use the best manual source (in this order)

1. Manufacturer support page (best, most current PDFs)
2. Retailer support page (often mirrors manufacturer manuals)
3. Engine manufacturer manual (for tune-up/starting issues)
4. Parts diagram + exploded view (often more useful than the owners manual)
