Step 5: Attach Engine to Mounting Plate

Step 6: Attach Hydraulic Hoses

1. Position the engine (#4) over the blocks and secure it to

the mount plate. Put four hex bolts M8x40 (#5) through

the bottom of the plate. Place a at 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 g. 6)

All hydraulic ports contain plastic plugs to prevent oil loss

during shipping. These plugs must be removed prior to as-

sembly. 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 ow from the

uncapped lines during assembly.

1. Put O ring Ø11.2x2.4 (#3) on the rear pump outlet con-

nector (#4), attach the hydraulic hose (#2) to the rear

pump outlet connector (#4).

2. Put O ring Ø17x2.5(#6) on the external lter

connector (#5)

3. Attach the return hydraulic hose (#7) to the

connector (#5). (See g. 7)

Step 7: Add Engine Oil

1. Make sure the log splitter is on a level surface.

2. Remove oil ll 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 ll 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 lled with the recommended type and amount

of oil. Damage to the log splitter as a result of failure to fol-

low these instructions will void your warranty.
