Transporting The Log Splitter
Lower the beam to its horizontal position. Make 
certain the beam is locked securely with the 
horizontal beam lock.
Remove the spring clip and clevis pin from jack 
stand. Support the tongue and pivot the jack stand 
up against the tongue. Secure with the spring clip 
and clevis pin previously removed. See Figure 9.
Attach coupler hitch to a class I or higher 1-7/8” ball 
on a towing vehicle, making certain to latch 
securely.
If coupler hitch does not fit on ball, turn adjustment 
nut one turn counter-clockwise.
If coupler hitch is too loose on ball, turn adjustment 
nut one turn clockwise. 
Connect the safety chains to the towing vehicle.
Do not tow faster than 45mph and check local, 
state, and federal requirements before towing on 
any public road.
If equipped, plug in the taillights as instructed in the 
taillight kit manual included with your log splitter.
NOTE:  Use caution when backing up. It is
recommended to use a spotter outside the vehicle.
SECTION 5:  ADJUSTING YOUR LOG SPLITTER
WARNING: Do not at any time make any
adjustments without first stopping engine,
disconnecting spark plug wire, and
grounding it against the engine.
Wedge Assembly Adjustment
As normal wear occurs and there is excessive “play” 
between the wedge and beam, adjust the bolts on the 
side of the wedge assembly to eliminate the excess 
space between the wedge and beam. See Figure 10.
Loosen the jam nuts on the two adjustment bolts on 
the side of the wedge. Turn the adjustment bolts in 
until snug and then back them off slowly until the 
wedge assembly will slide on the beam.
Tighten the jam nuts securely against the side of 
the wedge to hold the adjustment bolts in this 
position.
Gib Adjustment
Periodically remove and replace the “gibs” (spacers) 
between the wedge assembly and the back plate.
See Figure 10.
NOTE: The gibs may be rotated and/or turned over for
even wear.
Loosen the lock nuts under the each back plate and 
slide the gibs out.
Turn or replace the gibs.
Reassemble the back plate and secure with the 
lock washers and lock nuts.
Readjust the bolts on the side of the wedge 
assembly.

SECTION 6:  MAINTAINING YOUR LOG SPLITTER
WARNING: Before cleaning, lubricating,
repairing, or inspecting, disengage the
control lever and stop engine. Disconnect
the spark plug wire and ground it against
the engine to prevent unintended starting.
Hydraulic Fluid
Check the hydraulic fluid level in the log splitter 
reservoir tank before each use. Maintain fluid level 
within the range specified on the dipstack at all times. 
Change the hydraulic fluid in the reservoir every 100 
hours of operation. Disconnect the suction hose from 
the bottom of the reservoir tank and drain the fluid into a 
suitable container. Refill using only Dexron III automatic 
transmission fluid or 10W AW hydraulic fluid.
Be aware of the environment when disposing of 
used petroleum products. Please dispose of used 
hydraulic fluid and engine oil at approved recycling 
centers.
