NEVER EXCEED WEIGHT CAPACITY AND ALWAYS USE SAFETY CHAINS. ALWAYS USE. CORRECT BALL SIZE, MAKING SURE BALL IS COMPLETELY INSERTED INTO COUPLER. LOCK. COUPLER HANDLE SECURELY BEFORE TOWING. ALWAYS CHECK FOR DAMAGES AND. REPLACE IF DAMAGED. AVOID SHARP TURNS AND STEEP VERTICAL ANGLES WHEN TOWING.. 5 OPERATION. Intended use: This log splitter is intended and designed to only split wood. NEVER use. for any other purposes. Doing so can cause injury or VOID THE WARRANTY.. ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS. This log splitter has been partially assembled at the factory. Refer to the drawings and part. lists should it become necessary to disassemble the unit for repair or replacement of parts. . Inspect all components for damage.. WARNING: Exercise extreme caution, as parts are very heavy. Sufficient persons or. mechanical handling equipment should be used.. IMPORTANT: This unit is shipped with oil but without gasoline in the engine. After. assembly, see separate Engine Manual for proper fuel and oil recommendations.. 1.. General Assembly: Remove top, sides and ends of crate. Place crate panels aside. to avoid puncturing tires. Remove tongue assembly from top. . 2.. Carefully set the beam pre-assembly aside. . 3.. Attach tongue to tank/mount plates using two bolts and nuts. Be certain hardware. is secure. (See Assembly Figure 1). 4.. Remove tank/engine assembly from base of crate and discard banding. . 5.. Fender Assembly: Remove fenders from box. Mount to fender brackets with 5/16. hardware provided. Make sure fender clears wheel.. 6.. The cylinder is tied to the base. Remove ties and slide cylinder/wedge forward. aligning clevis at cylinder end to beam. Insert pin and retaining clips, check. component to assure proper assembly. Stand beam pre-assembly vertical and. secure in position. Roll tank/engine assembly into place, aligning pivot holes. Bolt. with provided hardware. Note: Do not over tighten; this is the vertical/horizontal. pivot point.. Tank/Mount Plates Assembly Figure 1 7.. Pivot beam assembly into the horizontal position and lock with pin provided.. 8.. Hose Assembly: Locate the Pressure Hose, noted by the pipe fittings, and attach it. to the lower fitting on the valve. The remaining hose attaches to the top fitting of. the valve. Secure with provided hose clamp.. 9.. Check both the horizontal and vertical positions for any “kinks” in the hoses. Note: Always make sure beam is locked securely into place.. See OPERATING POSITIONS for Horizontal to Vertical Splitting. 6 OPERATION. FILLING THE HYDRAULIC RESERVOIR. Fill the hydraulic reservoir with at least five gallons of General Purpose Hydraulic fluid or. Automatic Transmission fluid. After the hydraulic reservoir and the engine crankcase are filled. correctly with their respective oils, start the engine. Remember to set the throttle and turn on the. fuel shut-off valve. The hydraulic pump should prime itself. With the engine running, move the. hydraulic valve lever toward the wedge. This will cause the cylinder to extend and expel air. . When the cylinder is fully extended, retract it. Repeat this procedure several times. (An erratic. movement of the cylinder indicates that there is air in the system). You may have to add more. fluid and repeat this procedure. Once the cylinder has a smooth and constant speed indicating. that all the air has been expelled, more oil should then be added to bring the fluid level up to. approximately 3” below the fill hole. Standard models require approx. 4.5 gallons of hydraulic. fluid.. NOTE: If the tank is overfilled, it will tend to expel oil from the breather cap when the cylinder. is retracted. . START UP. WARNING: DO NOT START OR RUN THE LOG SPLITTER WITHOUT OIL IN THE. ENGINE AND HYDRAULIC RESERVOIR.. See separate Engine Manual for fuel and oil recommendations. Your log splitter has come. equipped with a fuel shut-off valve for towing purposes.. Before starting engine...
