SECTION 2: ASSEMBLING YOUR LOG SPLITTER

Unpacking from Crate

•Pry top, sides, and ends off the crate. Set panels aside to avoid tire puncture or personal injury.

•Remove and discard plastic bag that covers unit.

•Remove any loose parts if included with unit (i.e., operator’s manual, etc.)

•Cut and remove straps which secure parts to bottom of crate. Unbolt any remaining parts which may be bolted to the bottom of the crate.

WARNING: Use extreme caution unpacking this machine. Some components are very heavy and will require additional people or mechanical handling equipment.

Loose Parts In Carton

•Tongue assembly

•Tail light kit (optional)

Before Assembly

•Disconnect the spark plug wire and ground against the engine to prevent unintended starting.

NOTE: Reference to right or left hand side of the log splitter is observed from the operating position.

Assembling the Tongue

Attaching the Jack Stand

•The jack stand is shipped in the transport position. Remove the spring clip and clevis pin and pivot the jack stand towards the ground to the operating position.

•Secure the jack stand in position with the clevis pin and spring clip. See Figure 1.
