Check For Loose Fasteners
1. Do a visual check and tighten any fasteners which may have worked loose during use.
Check Tire Pressure
1. Check tire pressure before each use, and before towing the splitter on the highway. Fill to the
recommended pressure that is stamped on the tire sidewall.
Grease the Rack
1. Wipe a light coat of all purpose grease onto the teeth on the bottom of the rack after every 50 hours of
operation or every 5 cords split.
Grease the Flywheel Bearings
1. Lubricate the flywheel bearings every 100 hours. Pump a small amount of No. 2 or 3 lithium base grease
into the grease fittings. Wipe off excess grease from bearings. Clean off any grease that falls onto the top
surface of the I-beam between the bearings.
