Step 1: Wheel Assembly

1. Attach the wheel (#2) to the oil tank axle (#1) using a

at washer Ø20 (#6) and hex slotted nut M20 (#3). The

slotted nut should be tightened by hand and then slowly

tightened with a wrench only until the side free-play is

removed from the bearing assembly. Rotate the wheel

while tightening the nut. The wheel should turn freely.

Install the cotter pin Ø4x36 (#4) through a slot in the nut

M20 (#3) and the hole in the spindle. If necessary, the

slotted nut may be loosened slightly until a slot in the nut

aligns with the hole in the spindle.

2. Once installed, bend both ends of the cotter pin to pre-

vent its loss. Rotate the wheel and observe for smooth

and free movement. (See g. 2)

WARNING

3. Install the axle cap (#5) on the end using rubber

hammer and assembly tube.

Flat washer Ø20 (#6), hex slotted nut M20 (#3) and cotter

pin Ø4x36 (#4) are not located in the hardware kit, but are

already loosely assembled in the log splitter spindles.

Installation of the cotter pin is important and required.

Failure to install the cotter pin can result in loss of wheel

retention. Always assemble using a new cotter,

do not reuse.
