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￿with￿oil￿but￿without￿gasoline￿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.￿￿￿

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

Attach￿tongue￿to￿tank/mount￿plates￿using￿two￿bolts￿and￿nuts.￿￿Be￿certain￿hardware￿ is￿secure.￿￿(See￿Assembly￿Figure￿1)￿ Remove￿tank/engine￿assembly￿from￿base￿of￿crate￿and￿discard￿banding.￿￿￿

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