The following part numbers correspond to Parts List “A”.

Step 1)

Slide the Blade Assembly (#4A) onto the Upper Frame Assembly (#2A). Line up the holes in

 

the Blade Assembly (#4A) with those in the Upper Frame Assembly (#2A). Insert one Support

 

Pin (#14A) through each set of holes. With the Support Pin completely through the Blade

 

Assembly (#4A) and Upper Frame Assembly (#2A), insert a Hair Pin Clip (#20A) through

 

each Support Pin (#14A)-see Figure 1 below.

 

 

Step 2)

Slide the Upper Frame Assembly (#2A) onto the Lower Frame Assembly (#3A).

 

Insert one Support Pin (#13) through each set of holes. Once the Support Pin(#13) is fully

 

through both the Upper Frame Assembly (#2A) and the Lower Frame Assembly (#3A) insert a

 

Hair Pin Clip (#20) through each Support Pin (#13).

Attaching the Base

Figure 1

Step 1)

To attach the two Base Support Assemblies (#9A) to the Lower Frame Assemblies (#3A) set

 

one Base Support Assembly (#9A) on each side of the Lower Frame Assemblies as in

 

Figure 3.

 

 

Step 2)

There are 3 Hex Head Bolts (#17A) on each side. For each side, insert two of the Hex Head

 

Bolts (#17A) through the Base Support Assembly (#9A), through the Lower Frame Assembly

 

(#03A) and through the other Base Support Assembly-see Figure 3.

Step 3)

Secure in place with two Hex Nuts (#18A) on each side.

 

 

Step 4)

To the inside of each Lower Frame Assembly there is another hole in the Base Support

 

Assembly. Into this hole insert a Hex Head Bolt (#17A) through the Base Support

 

Assembly (09A), then through a Bushing (8A) and out through the second Base Support

 

Assembly (09A). Secure in place with Hex Nut (#18A)-see Figure 3.

Step 5

Thread a Hex Nut (#10A) onto each Hook Screw (#11A) and thread the Hook Screws up into

 

the bottom of Jack Support (#1A) Also thread a Nex Nut (#10A) onto the Hook Screw as it

 

protrudes up through the Base (#1B). See Assembly Diagram - Page 8. Connect a Spring

 

(#12A) between each Hook Screw (#11A), and Bushing (#8A). Adjust each Hook Screw so that

 

tension is equal for both Springs (#12A). Once properly adjusted, tighten the Hex Nuts (#10A),

 

below and above the Base (#1B), against the Base (#1B).

 

 

Step 6)

Attach each Base Assembly (#5A) and Supporting Plate (#7A) to the Lower Frame

 

Assemblies (#3A). Place two Supporting Plates so that the hole in the end lines up with the

 

hole in the Lower Frame Assembly (#3A); the Supporting Plates (#7A) will have to overlap.

 

Insert Hex Head Bolt (#16A) through the Supporting Plates and through the Lower Frame

 

Assembly (#3A) and hand tighten on Hex Nut (18A)-see Figure 3. Repeat for second side.

Step 7)

Secure the other end of each Supporting Plate (#7A) to one end of the Base Assembly (#5A)

 

as in Figure 3. Insert Hex Head Bolt (#15A) and tighten on Hex Nut (#18A). Tighten Hex

 

Nut (#18A) from Step 5. Repeat for second side.

 

 

Step 8)

Insert Hex Head Bolt (#16A) through the middle hole in the Base Assembly (#5A) and through

 

the Lower Frame Assembly (#3A), secure in place with Hex Nut (18A).

Step 9)

Insert Lock Pin (#22A) down through Hydraulic Jack (#6A) and through Base Support

 

Assembly (#9A). Insert Hair Pin Clip (#20A) through Lock Pin (#22A) to secure in place.

Warning:

Do not open the Release Valve (#4B) when the Log Splitter is supporting a load.
