LOG SPLITTER ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

4.Attach the wheels to each side of the reservoir

(4300) by sliding the end of the spindle into the tubes at the bottom of the reservoir. Make sure that the holes line up as you insert the spindle. Secure in place with two 5/16-18 x 2-1/4” bolts (48300) and two 5/16-18 bi-way locknuts (60G56). Place one bearing cover over the end of the hub and tap with rubber mallet until it is seated against the hub. DO

NOT STRIKE TOO HARD OR YOU WILL DAMAGE THE COVER. Repeat for the other wheel. See

Figure 1.

NOTE: The rest of the assembly is easier done with at least two people.

5.Next, attach kickstand (4306) to tongue (4304) using one 3/8-16 x 3” bolt (4359), two 3/8” flat washers (WF38), one 3/8-16 bi-way locknut (2104), one 3/8” x 2.75” pin (4334) and one hair clip (Hair-5). Attach the kickstand to the tongue so that it will support the weight of the log splitter as you assemble the rest of the pieces. DO NOT

OVERTIGHTEN - MUST SWING FREELY. See Figure 2a & 2c.

6.Next, attach the tongue to the reservoir using two 3/8-16 x 3” bolts (4359) and two 3/8-16 bi-way locknuts (2104). Attach travel lock assembly to the tongue using two 3/8-16 x 3” bolts (4359) and two 3/8-16 bi-way locknuts (2104). Position of pin should be toward operator’s side. See Figure 2b.

7.Next, remove the 3/4” x 2” pipe nipple (4357) from the parts bag and insert it into the upper hole in the reservoir. Now, remove the screw-on filter (4106) from the parts bag and remove the replaceable filter (4106A) from the cap. Thread the cap onto the nipple at outlet end and tighten until the bottom of the cap faces downward. Thread the filter onto the cap after applying a thin film of oil to the rubber seal to ensure that it does not tear. See Figure 3. For W2808 proceed to step 10.
