Assembly Instructions
Assembly Procedure
Some components are very heavy and can be damaged if mishandled. To
help prevent personal injury, it is strongly recommended that two (2) peo-
ple work together to uncrate and assemble the log splitter.
1. Remove and read all instructions and safety recommendations before assembling or
operating this log splitter.
The rail assembly is bolted to the pallet with a lag screw. The rail is top heavy
and can tip over when it is unbolted, which could cause personal injury. Make
sure the pallet is on a flat, level surface before removing the bolt.
2. Cut the bands holding the base unit and
rail assembly onto the pallet.
removing the base unit from the pallet,
install the front leg assembly. Align the top
rear hole in front leg with the rear top hole
in the base unit and install a 1/2-13 x 4-1/2
inch long hex head bolt through the holes.
Install and tighten the locknut.
NOTE: To prevent the front leg from binding,
do not overtighten the locknut.
3. Place the front leg in the 45 degree down
position and install the hitch pin through
the lower front hole of the base unit and
front leg.
4. Install the hair pin clip through the hitch
pin.

5. Lift the front leg and carefully roll the base
unit off the pallet.
6. Carefully stand the rail assembly in an
upright, vertical position.
WARNING
Make sure the rail assembly is standing on
a flat, level area.
If necessary, have a
helper steady the rail to prevent it from tip-
ping over.
The rail assembly weighs
approximately 270 pounds and will cause
bodily injury if it falls on someone.
7. Carefully align the base assembly, using
the front leg, with the rail assembly.
Have someone hold the rail assem-
bly to prevent it from falling during
this part of the assembly.
8. Center the rail between the hinge plates
on the base assembly, as shown. Insert a
1/2-13 x 4-1/2 inch long hex head bolt
through rear top hole of the hinge plates
and rail. Install and tighten a 1/2-13 lock-
nut.
NOTE: To prevent the rail from binding, do
not overtighten the locknut. This connection
serves as the pivot point for the log splitter
from the vertical to horizontal position.
