WARNING!
Do not connect the log splitter to a power
source until the machine is completely assembled. If any parts
are missing do not operate the machine until they
are replaced.
Follow these steps to assemble:
1. Remove log splitter from the carton. Keep the
packaging material until you are satisfied the log splitter
Figure 1
is not damaged, all the parts are included and the log
splitter operates properly.
2. Bolt the Support Leg to the log splitter. Place the log
splitter on a level work surface that is at least 60 cm
(23.62") high.
3. Check that all the parts are included.
4. Before the initial operation the Bleed Screw should be
adjusted to allow air to go in and out of the oil tank.
(loosen three to four turns) Airflow should be detectable
during operation. To avoid leaking oil close the Bleed
Screw when moving the machine.
Important! Failure to open the Bleed Screw during
operation will result in permanent damage to the log
splitter. Fig. 2 (13)
5. Dip stick Fig. 2 (12) Always check oil level before use.

WARNING!
Do not adjust the Max. Pressure Limiting
Screw. This was set at the factory so the log splitter works
under the maximum pressure limit of 5 tons. Tampering with the
screw will result in hydraulic pump failure. Only a professional
mechanic shall adjust the Max. Pressure Limiting Screw.
