3.2 Assembly Steps (General Guide)

Следећи кораци дају општи крајview of the assembly process. Always refer to your specific product manual for detailed instructions and torque specifications. For visual assistance, a general log splitter assembly video is provided below.

  1. Install the Oil Filter: Using a 27mm wrench, install the oil filter into the corresponding port of the hydraulic tank. Tighten to 60 N·m (a tolerance of ±5° is allowed).
  2. Install the Tow Bar: Remove bolts, washers, and lock nuts from the hydraulic oil tank. Rotate the support leg to a vertical position and lock it with the lock pin, ensuring the tow bar is approximately level with the ground. Attach the tow bar to the bracket on top of the hydraulic tank using the appropriate bolts, nuts, and washers.
  3. Инсталирајте точкове: Remove the cotter pin and castle nut from the axle of the hydraulic oil tank. Remove plastic shipping caps, ensuring the tire valve stem faces out, and slide the wheel onto the axle. If the wheel bearing is accidentally knocked out, reinstall it. Thread the castle nut onto the axle and tighten by hand. Adjust the castle nut to align the holes, making sure not to overtighten. Insert the cotter pin and bend with pliers. Install the axle cap using a soft mallet. Repeat for the other wheel.
  4. Install the Beam: Stand the beam vertically on the foot plate (recommended by 2 people). Remove the hitch pin and R pin. Roll the tank into position so pivot holes on the tank and beam are aligned. Secure the beam with the hitch pin and R pin. Block the wheels to prevent rolling and pivot the beam into the horizontal position. Check that the lock pin aligns and inserts smoothly into the corresponding hole on the tow bar.
  5. Install the Engine: Place the engine and gear pump assembly onto the engine mounting plate of the hydraulic oil tank. Secure it with appropriate hardware as specified in your manual. You will need a 13mm or 14mm wrench.
  6. Install the Hoses: Remove the red shipping plug from the gear pump. Using provided hose clamps, connect one end of the clear oil hose to the pump inlet and the other end to the hydraulic tank. Ensure the two high-pressure hoses are connected to the correct positions. Remove the white shipping plug from the gear pump, install the O-ring into the outlet fitting, then attach the hydraulic hose assembly's A-end to the pump outlet connector, tightening to 50-60 N·m (using a 27mm or adjustable wrench). Screw the B-end nut of the return hydraulic hose into the oil filter inlet connector, tightening to 70-80 N·m (using a 27mm or adjustable wrench).
  7. Install the Log Catchers: Attach the large log catcher to the engine side of the beam using a 16mm wrench and appropriate bolts, nuts, and washers. Attach the small log catcher on the opposite side with appropriate bolts, nuts, and washers. You will need a 17mm wrench and 6mm Allen wrench.
  8. Install the Fenders: Attach the first fender to the side of the hydraulic oil tank using a 16mm wrench and appropriate bolts, nuts, and washers. The safety reflector should face the back of the hydraulic tank. Repeat for the second fender.
  9. Комплетна инсталација: Remove the pins from the control valve lever, then secure the lever by reinserting the pins once it has been raised to the proper position.

Horizontal Splitting:

  1. Place the log securely on the beam against the wedge.
  2. Using both hands, engage the control lever to extend the ram and push the log into the wedge.
  3. Once the log is split, release the control lever. The ram will automatically retract.

Vertical Splitting:

  1. Carefully pivot the beam to the vertical position and secure it according to the manual.
  2. Roll a log onto the base plate.
  3. Using both hands, engage the control lever to extend the ram and push the log down onto the wedge.
  4. Once the log is split, release the control lever. The ram will automatically retract.
