certain the beam is locked securely with the
horizontal beam lock.
•
Raise the adjustable jack stand by turning the crank
clockwise.
•
Attach hitch coupler to a class I or higher hitch with
a 1-7/8” ball on the towing vehicle, making certain
to latch securely.
•
Connect the safety chains to the towing vehicle.
•
Do not tow faster than 45mph and check local,

SECTION 5: ADJUSTING YOUR LOG SPLITTER
WARNING: Do not at any time make any
adjustments without first stopping engine,
disconnecting spark plug wire, and
grounding it against the engine.
Wedge Assembly Adjustment
As normal wear occurs and there is excessive “play”
between the wedge and beam, adjust the bolts on the
side of the wedge assembly to eliminate the excess
space between the wedge and beam. See Figure 16.
•
Loosen the jam nuts on the two adjustment bolts on
the side of the wedge. Turn the adjustment bolts in
until snug and then back them off slowly until the
wedge assembly will slide on the beam.
•
Tighten the jam nuts securely against the side of
the wedge to hold the adjustment bolts in this
position.
Gib Adjustment
Periodically remove and replace the “gibs” (spacers)
between the wedge assembly and the back plate.
See Figure 16.
NOTE: The gibs may be rotated and/or turned over for
even wear.
•
Loosen the lock nuts under the each back plate and
slide the gibs out.
•
Turn or replace the gibs.
•
Reassemble the back plate and secure with the
lock washers and lock nuts.
•
Readjust the bolts on the side of the wedge
assembly.
