ASSEMBLY￿INSTRUCTIONS￿

This￿log￿splitter￿has￿been￿partially￿assembled￿at￿the￿factory.￿￿Refer￿to￿the￿drawings￿and￿part￿lists￿should￿it￿ become￿necessary￿to￿disassemble￿the￿unit￿for￿repair￿or￿replacement￿of￿parts.￿￿Inspect￿all￿components￿for￿ damage.￿ WARNING:￿￿Exercise￿extreme￿caution,￿as￿parts￿are￿very￿heavy.￿Sufficient￿persons￿or￿mechanical￿ handling￿equipment￿should￿be￿used.￿ IMPORTANT:￿￿This￿unit￿is￿shipped￿without￿gasoline￿or￿oil￿in￿the￿engine.￿￿After￿assembly,￿see￿separate￿ Engine￿Manual￿for￿proper￿fuel￿and￿oil￿recommendations.￿

1.￿ General￿Assembly:￿￿Remove￿top,￿sides￿and￿ends￿of￿crate.￿￿Place￿crate￿panels￿aside￿to￿avoid￿ puncturing￿tires.￿￿￿Remove￿tongue￿assembly￿from￿top.￿￿￿

2.￿ Carefully￿set￿the￿beam￿pre-assembly￿aside.￿￿￿

3.￿ Attach￿tongue￿to￿tank/mount￿plates￿using￿two￿bolts￿and￿nuts.￿￿Be￿certain￿hardware￿is￿secure.￿￿(See￿ Assembly￿Figure￿1)￿

4.￿ Fender￿Assembly:￿￿Remove￿fenders￿from￿box.￿￿Mount￿to￿fender￿brackets￿with￿5/16￿hardware￿ provided.￿￿Make￿sure￿fender￿clears￿wheel.￿

5.￿ Remove￿tank/engine￿assembly￿from￿base￿of￿crate￿and￿discard￿banding.￿￿The￿cylinder￿is￿tied￿to￿the￿

base.￿￿Remove￿ties￿and￿slide￿cylinder/wedge￿forward￿aligning￿clevis￿at￿cylinder￿end￿to￿beam.￿￿ Insert￿pin￿and￿retaining￿clips,￿check￿component￿to￿assure￿proper￿assembly.￿￿Stand￿beam￿pre- assembly￿vertical￿and￿secure￿in￿position.￿￿Roll￿tank/engine￿assembly￿into￿place,￿aligning￿pivot￿ holes.￿￿Bolt￿with￿provided￿hardware.￿￿Note:￿Do￿not￿over￿tighten;￿this￿is￿the￿vertical/horizontal￿ pivot￿point.￿

6.￿ Pivot￿beam￿assembly￿into￿the￿horizontal￿position￿and￿lock￿with￿pin￿provided.￿

7.￿ Hose￿Assembly:￿￿Locate￿the￿Pressure￿Hose,￿noted￿by￿the￿pipe￿fittings,￿and￿attach￿it￿to￿the￿lower￿ fitting￿on￿the￿valve.￿￿The￿remaining￿hose￿attaches￿to￿the￿top￿fitting￿of￿the￿valve.￿￿Secure￿with￿ provided￿hose￿clamp.￿

8.￿ Check￿both￿the￿horizontal￿and￿vertical￿positions￿for￿any￿“kinks”￿in￿the￿hoses.￿￿Note:￿Always￿make sure￿beam￿is￿locked￿securely￿into￿place.￿

START￿UP￿

WARNING:￿￿DO￿NOT￿START￿OR￿RUN￿THE￿LOG￿SPLITTER￿WITHOUT￿OIL￿IN￿THE￿

ENGINE￿AND￿HYDRAULIC￿RESERVOIR.￿

See￿separate￿Engine￿Manual￿for￿fuel￿and￿oil￿recommendations.￿￿Your￿log￿splitter￿has￿come￿equipped￿with￿ a￿fuel￿shut-off￿valve￿for￿towing￿purposes.￿ Before￿starting￿engine￿make￿sure￿crankcase￿is￿filled￿correctly￿with￿oil￿and￿the￿proper￿fuel￿has￿been￿used.￿￿ The￿engine￿will￿only￿start￿when￿the￿throttle￿lever￿and￿fuel￿shut-off￿valve￿are￿turned￿to￿their￿ON￿positions.￿￿
