•
Disconnect the log cradle from the beam on the
side of the control valve
•
Lift and slide the cylinder up to the top of beam
and into the weld brackets
•
Attach the dislodger over the wedge assembly
and secure with the hardware previously
removed to the weld brackets. See Figure 4.
•
Once the six hex screws are tighten, there may
be a slight gap between the dislodger and the
weld brackets. This gap is allowable.
•
Reattach the log cradle to the side of the beam
with the control valve, aligning the ends of the
cradle with the beam flanges.
•
Roll log splitter off the bottom crate.

Preparing TheLogSplitter
•
Lubricate the beam area where the splitting
wedge will slide with engine oil (DO NOT USE
GREASE).
•
Remove vented reservoir dipstick, which is
located in front of the engine on top of the reser-
voir tank. See Figure 5.
•
Fill the reservoir tank with Dexron III automatic
transmission fluid or 10W AW hydraulic fluid.
•
Check fluid level using the dipstick. See Figure 6.
•
Do not overfill and replace vented dipstick
securely. The dipstick should be tighten until the
top of the threads are flush with the top of the
pipe.
NOTE: The reservoir tank has a capacity of 3 1/2
gallons.
•
If not already, disconnect the spark plug wire and
prime the pump, by pulling the recoil starter to
turn the engine over approximately10 times.
•
Reconnect the spark plug wire.
•
Start engine according to Starting the Engine in
the OPERATION section.

•
Use the control handle to engage the wedge to
the farthest extended position and then retract
the wedge.
•
Refill tank to within the range specified on the
dipstick.
•
Extend and retract the wedge 12 complete cycles
to remove trapped air in the system (system is
"self-bleeding").
•
Much of the original fluid has been drawn into the
cylinder and hoses. Make certain to refill the
reservoir to prevent extreme damage to the
hydraulic pump. Failure to refill the tank will void
your warranty.

NOTE:
Some
fluid may
overflow
from the vented
dipstick
as
the system
builds
heat
and
the
fluid
expands
and seeks a balanced
level
IMPORTANT:Do not operate the log splitter without
the proper amount of transmission fluid in the
reservoir tank.
