Unpacking & Assembling the Log Splitter
TOOLS NEEDED: Safety glasses, leather gloves, wire

or claw hammer.
1. Use a pry bar or claw hammer to loosen and
remove the top of the crate.
2. Use a pry bar or claw hammer to remove the
sides of the crate, beginning with the short sides
(or left and right side of the log splitter). Set the
sides of the crate aside to avoid injury.
3. On the front side of the crate the tongue
assembly is attached on the inside of the crate
with a cable tie. Cut the cable tie to remove the
tongue.
4. Remove the large plastic cover and discard.
WARNING! Do NOT remove any
wood or cut any straps securing the
log splitter or its components to the
log splitter or the crate at this time.
Only remove straps and/or wood when
instructed to do so.
5. Inspect the bottom of the crate for any
protruding staples or wood splinters and
remove.
6. Remove any loose parts included with the log
splitter (i.e. operator’s manual, etc.).

the jack stand on the tongue and then pivot
the jack stand towards the ground into the

NOTE: The high pressure hose, which runs
from the gear pump to the bottom of the

vertical position. Remove any bolts or straps
securing the end plate to the bottom of the
crate.

assist with raising or lowering the
beam is recommended. Be sure to
keep hands away from any possible
pinch points.
13. Remove the wood between the wedge and
the end plate by cutting the cable tie that
secures it. Cut the strap near the hose on the
