ASSEMBLING
ASSEMBLY & SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE:
Due to the weight / size of the log splitter, it’s recommended that two or more adults be present to assist
with the assembling. Some lifting tools such as hoist, crane, jack, etc. are recommended too.
STEP 1:
Install the two wheels. See FIGURE 4.
1. Raise the reservoir tank assembly off the ground on some blocks before mounting. Remove the plastic shipping
caps from the wheels and position the wheels onto the wheel axels.
2. Screw the castle nuts onto the axels and tighten with an adjustable wrench to seat the bearings. Then back the
castle nuts off one half turn and snug them up to the bearings by hand, so they line up with the hole in the axel.
3. Insert the split pin into the slot of castle nut and the hole in the axel, then bend the ends of the pin with needle
nose pliers keeping it close to the castle nut so the dust cap fits over it.
4. Tap the dust caps onto the wheel using a soft faced hammer.
Assembling tools needed:
1. Wrench 13mm x 2
2. Wrench 14mm x 2
3. Wrench 16, 17, 18, 19, 27, 32 mm one each
