2. Disconnectthe dislodgerfrom the beamweldbracketby removing
the six hexscrews.See Figure3-4.
3. Disconnectthe logcradlefromthe beamon the side of thecontrol
valve.SeeFigure3-5.
4. Liftandslide the cylinderupto the top of beamand intothe weld
brackets.
5. Attachthe dislodgeroverthewedgeassemblyand securewith
hardware,previouslyremoved,to the weld brackets.
NOTE:Oncethe six hex screwsaretightened,there maybe a slight
gapbetweenthedislodgerand the weld brackets.Thisgapis normal.
6. Reattachthe log cradleto the side of the beamwiththe control
valve,aligningthe endsof the cradlewith the beamflanges.
7. Roll log splitteroff the bottomcrate.
Preparing the Log Splitter
1. Lubricatethe beamarea (wherethe splittingwedgewill slide)with
engineoil; do not usegrease.
2. Removeventedreservoirdipstick,whichis locatedin front of the
engineontop of the reservoirtank.See Figure3-6.
IMPORTANT:The logsplittermayhavebeen shippedand primed
withhydraulicfluid in the reservoirtank. However,you MUSTcheck
the fluidlevelbeforeoperating.If not filled, proceedwiththefollowing
steps:
3. Fillthe reservoirtankwithhydraulicfluid includedwith this unit (if
equipped)or approvedfluids which includeDexron®III / Mercon®
Ill automatictransmissionfluid, a 10WeightAW hydraulicoil or
Pro-MixTM AW-32HydraulicOil.
4. Checkfluid levelusingthe dipstick.SeeFigure3-6. Do notoverfill.
5. Replaceventeddipsticksecurely,tighteningit untilthe top of the
threadsare flushwithtop of the pipe.
6. Disconnectthe sparkplugand primethe pumpby pullingthe recoil
starteras faras it will go. Repeatapproximately10times.
7. Reconnectthe sparkplug wireand start enginefollowinginstruc-
tionsinthe OPERATIONsection.
8. Usecontrolhandleto engagethe wedgeto thefarthestextended
position.Thenretractthe wedge.
9. Refilltankas specifiedon the dipstick.
NOTE:Failureto refill thetankwill void unit'swarranty.
10.Extendandretractthe wedge12completecyclesto remove
trappedair inthe system(thesystemis "self-bleeding").
11.Refillreservoirwithinrangemarkedon the dipstick.
_ ARNING:Much of the original fluid hasbeen
drawnintothe cylinderandhoses.Makecertain
to refillthe reservoirto preventdamageto the
hydraulicpump.
NOTE:Somefluidmayoverflowfromthe vent plug as the system
buildsheatandthe fluidexpandsand seeksa balancedlevel.
