Step 5: Attach Engine to Mounting Plate
1. Position the engine (#4) and secure it to the mount
plate. Put four hex bolts M8x40 (#5) through the
bottom of the plate. Place a flat washer Ø8 (#2)
and tighten the nylon lock nut M8 (#1) to 15 ft. lbs.
torque.
2. Attach the clear oil pipe (#7) to the bottom of the
gear pump and secure with clamp (#6). (See fig. 6)
Step 6A: Attach Hydraulic Hoses
NOTICE
All hydraulic ports contain plastic plugs to prevent oil
loss during shipping. These plugs must be removed
prior to assembly. Because the unit has been factory
tested, there is some hydraulic oil in the lines. It is
recommended to have a small container to contain
some oil that will flow from the uncapped lines during
assembly.
1. Put O ring Ø11.2x2.4 (#3) on the rear pump outlet
connector (#4), attach the hydraulic hose (#2) to the
rear pump outlet connector (#4).
2. Put O ring Ø17x2.5(#6) on the external filter
connector (#5).
3. Attach the return hydraulic hose (#1) to the
connector (#5). (See fig. 7A)
Step 6B: Attach Control Lever
1. Remove spring cotter pin (#1) and retaining pin
(#2) from control valve rod (#3). (See fig. 7B)
2. Rotate control lever (#4) until its hole aligns with
hole in control valve rod (#3).
3. Install retaining pin (#2) through control valve rod
(#3) and control lever (#4) and secure with spring
cotter pin (#1).
Step 7: Add Engine Oil
1. Make sure the log splitter is on a level surface.
2. Remove oil fill cap/dipstick to check oil level. Note
that if the unit has been preassembled by the retail
store, oil may have already been added.
3. Refer to the separate owner's engine manual for the
quantity of engine oil; add oil to the proper level and
replace oil fill cap/dipstick.
4. Check engine oil level daily and add as needed.

NOTICE
During the break-in period check the engine oil level
often.
DO NOT attempt to crank or start the engine before it
has been properly filled with the recommended type
and amount of oil. Damage to the log splitter as a
result of failure to follow these instructions will void
your warranty.
