24 DR  20-Ton WOOD SPLITTER Safety & Operating Instructions
Lubrication
Your DR 20-Ton WOOD SPLITTER was lubricated at the Factory. The operator
needs to provide engine lubrication and lubricate the Push Block H-Beam periodically.
Tools & Supplies Needed:
#2 Lithium Grease
9/16" wrench
1. The Push Block should be lubricated daily to reduce wear on the H-Beam and sides.
Use #2 Lithium grease on the fittings, one on each side (Figure 21).
Note: Replace the Push Block Wear Plates (one on each side) if the Push Block can be
raised more than 1/4" off the H-Beam. Use a 9/16" wrench to remove the retaining bolts
(Figure 21).
2. The top of the H-Beam should be lubricated daily by coating it with #2 Lithium grease.
3. The wheel bearings should be lubricated (hand packed) with #2 Lithium grease
annually or after any trip longer than 50 miles. Refer to section “Unpacking the Splitter
and Installing the Wheels” on pages 10 & 11. Perform steps 5 thru 8 in the reverse
order to remove the wheels. Slide out the inner and outer bearings and hand pack them
with the #2 Lithium grease. Re-insert the bearings and replace the wheels per steps 5
thru 8 on pages 10 & 11.
WARNING! Before performing any maintenance procedure, stop the
engine and disconnect the spark plug wire.
