ASSEMBLING THE WHEELS
See Figure 3.
To attach the wheels to the base:
 Locate the axle assembly; remove the hitch pin from the
axle.
 Lift the machine slightly and slip the axle into the wheel
hole.
 Next, slide the washer onto the axle. Still lifting the
machine, slide the axle/wheel/washer combination into
WARNING:
Do not allow familiarity with tools to make you care-
less. Remember that a careless fraction of a second is
sufficient 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
recommended by the manufacturer of this tool. The use
of attachments or accessories not recommended can
result in serious personal injury.
BEFORE USING THE LOG SPLITTER
See Figures 4 - 5.
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.
ASSEMBLY
the wheel mounting hole in the machine base as shown
in figure 3.
Slide the washer onto the axle.

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

Air must flow in and out of the oil tank during operation to
prevent the seals in the hydraulic system from rupturing.
This tool is
larger than 12 in. diameter or 20-1/2 in. long. Some types
of wood are harder to split than others. If the log splitter is
having trouble splitting a log, never continue to try for longer
than five seconds.
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 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.
 Wipe the dipstick clean then 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.
