Assembly
Note: Because of the weight and size of the Log Splitter, assembly should be done with the
help of another person.
Attaching the Tires
Refer to the Assembly Drawing on page 9 and
FIGuRE 1 on page 5.
1. Position the Tires (48) next to each of the Axles located on the bottom of the Oil Tank
Assembly (10). The Tires (48) come completely assembled.
. Make certain to pack the bearings as explained in the included insert.
3. Put a Seal (59) and Bearing (49) on the Axle and then put the Tire (48) on the Axle.
4. Follow the Bearing Packing Instructions as explained on the last page of this
manual. With each Tire (48) in place, add a Washer (50) and a Spindle Nut (51) onto
the ends of the Axles. Tighten the Spindle Nuts (51) to 0-5 ft. pounds, and turn each
tire several times to seat the bearing. Back off the Spindle Nut (51) one half turn. Insert
a Cotter Pin (5) through both the Axle and the Spindle Nut (51) and bend the end of
the Pin back to hold it in place. Lastly, tap on a Wheel Cap (61).
The Tire (48) assembly is now complete. Note: It may be necessary to reset the wheel
bearings after the Log Splitter has been towed.
The wheel manufacturer states the maximum speed is not to exceed 40 MPH. The tires
are dOT approved for public roads; however, this item is not for use on public roads
or highways.
