Disconnectthe logcradlefromthe beamon the sideof the control
valve.See Figure3-5.
Liftand slidethe cylinderup to the topof beamand intothe weld
brackets.
5. Attachthedislodgeroverthe wedgeassemblyand secureit to the
weldbracketswith the previouslyremovedhardware.
NOTE:Oncethe sixhex screwsaretightened,theremay be a slight
gapbetweenthe dislodgerand the weldbrackets.Thisgapis normal.
6. Reattachthe logcradleto the side of the beamwith the control
valve,aligningthe endsof the cradlewith the beamflanges.
7. Rollthe log splitteroff the bottomcrate.
PREPARING THE LOG SPLITTER
1. Lubricatethe beamarea (wherethe splittingwedgewill slide)with
engineoil. Do notuse grease.
2. Removethevented reservoirdipstick,which is locatedinfrontof
the engineon top of the reservoirtank. See Figure3-6.
IMPORTANT:The logsplittermayhavebeenshippedandprimedwith
hydraulicfluidin the reservoirtank. However,you MUSTcheckthe
fluidlevelbeforeoperating.If the reservoir tank is not filled, proceed
withthe followingsteps:
.
.
Fill the reservoirtankwiththe hydraulicfluidincludedwith this
machine(if equipped)or oneof theapprovedfluidswhichinclude
Dexron®III / Mercon®automatictransmissionfluid ora 10Weight
AWhydraulicoil.
Checkthefluid levelusingthedipstick.SeeFigure3-6. Do not
overfill.
.
Replacetheventeddipsticksecurely,tighteningit untilthe topof
the threadsare flush with top of the pipe.
6. Disconnectthe spark plugand primethe pumpby pullingthe recoil
starteras faras it will go. Repeatapproximately10times.
7. Reconnectthe sparkplugwireandstart the enginefollowingthe
instructionsin the OPERATIONsection.
8. Use thecontrol handleto engagethewedgeto the farthest
extendedposition.Then retractthe wedge.
9. Refillthe tankas specifiedon thedipstick.
NOTE:Failureto refillthe tankwill voidthe warranty.
10.Extendand retractthewedge 12completecyclesto removeanyair
trappedin the system(the systemis "self-bleeding").
11.Refillthe reservoirwithinthe rangemarkedon the dipstick.
