Grease the Wheel Bearings – (See Figure 10.)

1.  Use a jack to lift the rear of the log splitter. Place supports 

under the frame for stability.

2.  Remove the hub cap and pull the cotter pin from one axle.  

3.  Unscrew the slotted nut and remove the washer, the loose 

roller bearing and the wheel from the axle.

4.  Remove the seal and the bearing from the other end of 

the wheel hub by carefully tapping on the back side of the 

bearing in a circular pattern.

5.  Wipe off old grease from the bearings and the inside of 

the wheel hub. Clean the bearings and wheel hub with 

kerosene or solvent, then spray with brake cleaner. Allow 

parts to dry before proceeding.

6.  Inspect the bearings and seal for damage. Replace worn or 

damaged parts.

7.  Apply a generous amount of high quality wheel bearing 

grease to the roller bearings, working it around the rollers 

and into the bearing until the rollers are coated and the 

bearing cage is filled.

8.  Apply high quality bearing grease to the bearing races that are pressed into the wheel hub.

9.  Assemble a bearing into the inward facing end of the wheel hub, and then carefully tap a seal into the end 

of the hub.

10. Slide the wheel onto the axle and then install another bearing and a washer into the wheel hub.

11. Thread the slotted nut onto the axle and tighten firmly while spinning the wheel to seat the bearings. Back 

the nut off until a slot aligns with the hole in the spindle. Make sure that the wheel spins freely but does 

not have end play or wobble. Readjust the nut as necessary.

12. Install the cotter pin and spread the ends.

13. Install the hub cap.

14. Repeat the same procedure for the other wheel.

15. Remove the supports from under the rear of the splitter frame and lower it using the jack.

Engine Maintenance

NOTe: 

Refer to the instructions in the engine manual for performing the following procedures.

1.  Check oil level before each use. Be sure the log splitter is resting on flat, level ground.

2.  Change the oil after the first 20 hours of operation and then after every 100 hours of operation.  

3.  Service air cleaner every 50 hours under normal conditions. Clean every few hours under extremely dusty 

conditions. Poor engine performance and flooding usually indicate a dirty air cleaner. 

4.  The spark plug should be cleaned and the gap checked every 100 hours.

5.  Clean the spark arrester every 100 hours.

Cleaning

1.  Clean the engine regularly with a cloth or brush. Keep the cooling fins on the engine housing clean to 

allow proper cooling. Remove all dirt and debris from muffler area. 

2.  Clean the I-beam, scraping any compacted residue off the top surface.

Storing

1.  Clean the log splitter before storing.

2.  Store in a dry protected area or cover with a water-resistant cover (optional 45-0509 Cover available).
