ASSEMBLING THE WHEELS, BEAM AND TANK

 

Figure 3  

 

The hardware that is used to assemble the wheels,
beam and tank will be found in place on the tank or
in the hardware pack.  The assembly has been
divided into three sections A, B and C.  Locate the
section of Figure 3 that is appropriate to the
instructions.

 

ASSEMBLY A (See Figure 3)

 

Attach the wheels to the reservoir tank assembly as
follows: 

1.

Block up the reservoir tank assembly about 8
inches.

2.

Remove and discard plastic shipping caps on
the outside of the wheels.

3.

Remove the cotter pin (A), hex slotted nut (B)
and flat washer (C) from each axle. 

 

NOTE: 

 

To maximize bearing life, It is

recommended that you polish the axles of the log
splitter with emory cloth before you install the
wheels.

4.

Place one wheel on each axle, valve stem
facing outward.

5.

Place one flat washer (C) just removed on each
axle. Secure with hex slotted nut (B). Tighten
slotted nut until snug, then back off
approximately 1/3 turn or until one of the slots
on the slotted nut lines up with the hole in the
axle.

6.

Insert cotter pins (A) through slots in nuts (B)
and holes in axle. Secure by bending the ends
of the cotter pins (A) in opposite directions,
using pliers and a screwdriver.

7.

Check the assembly of the wheels. There
should be no side to side play, and the wheels
should spin freely.

8.

Place hub caps (D) in position on wheels, and
tap on with a soft hammer or mallet. (It may be
necessary to use a screwdriver to tap on the
raised rib of the hub cap.)

9.

Check tires for correct air pressure.  See the
side wall of the tires for recommended pressure.
