face capable of supporting the com-  
bined weight of the Log Splitter and  
logs.  
NEVER use inside a home or garage,  
EVEN IF doors and windows are  
open.  
8. Do not tow the Log Splitter on roads  
or highways. This product is not  
D.O.T. compliant, and is not road  
legal.  
9. Always make sure the hitch coupler  
is securely fixed to the vehicle before  
moving it. If the Coupler is not se-  
cured properly, the link could come  
loose while the trailer is in motion,  
possibly causing property damage,  
SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY, or

10. When moving the Log Splitter, re-  
move the Push Pin (26) and Hair Pin  
Clip (29) and lift the Front Leg As-  
sembly up so that it is parallel to the  
Rail Assembly (2). Then, replace the  
Push Pin and Hair Pin Clip into the  
Horizontal Transport Hole shown just  
above the Oil Plug (37), in FIGURES  
1 and 2.

5. Place fresh, clean bearing grease in  
the packer.  
6. With the grease-filled bearing packer  
in one hand and the bearing in the  
other, press the bearing into the  
grease, forcing the grease inside the  
slots in the bearing, continue doing  
this until every slot in the bearing is  
completely full of grease.  
11. To connect the Rail Assembly to the  
Oil Tank Assembly (10B), insert a Hex  
Bolt (16) into the middle hole of the  
“L” shaped bracket on the Oil Tank  
Assembly. Secure it with a Hex Nut  
(17). Refer to the Hex Nut (17) at-  
tached to the Hex Bolt (16) just above  
the tire in FIGURE 1. Insert the Push  
Pin (26) through the hole, as shown

cloth, then store the equipment out  
of children’s reach according to the  
Storage instructions in this manual.  
4. Remove the Oil Plug (37) and fill the  
tank with Hydraulic oil (not included).  
To check the oil level remove the  
Dipstick (62), check the level then  
replace it. The oil should be at the  
upper notch of the Dipstick. Be sure  
that a constant hydraulic oil level of  
2.5 gallons is maintained.  
5. The hydraulic system must be vented  
during operation or it may become  
vacuum locked and stop working  
properly. To vent the system, open  
the air inlet hole (See FIGURE 3)  
by loosening the Oil Plug. You may  
have to move the O-ring to expose  
the air inlet vent. When the Log  
Splitter is not in operation or being  
transported, close the air inlet hole by  
tightening the Oil Plug (37).  
6. The maximum length of each log can  
not exceed 25 inches or a diameter of  
8 inches.

shown in FIGURES 1 and 4. Make  
sure the wedge on the Slide Assem-  
bly is facing the log. (See FIGURE 1).  
8. Grip the Directional Valve (58) and  
move it into the lower position to split  
the log.  
9. To back the wedge off the log, move  
the Directional Valve away from the  
log just split.  
10. Once the log is split, remove the piec-  
es. Continue, as explained above,  
until all logs are split.

for death, injuries to persons or property, or for incidental, contingent, special or con-
