Frequently asked questions
Use a jack to lift the rear of the log splitter. Remove the bolts from the leg assemblies and move the wheels to one of four height settings. Reinstall the bolts and nuts and tighten securely. Repeat for the other wheel. Remove the supports from under the rear of the splitter frame and lower it using the jack. Adjust the front leg stand so that the front of the splitter is the same height as the rear of the splitter. For the lowest setting, extend the tow bar out to the towing position.
The maximum log diameter that this log splitter can handle is 30 inches.
Lubricate the flywheel bearings every 100 hours. Pump a small amount of No. 2 or 3 lithium base grease into the grease fittings. Wipe off excess grease from bearings. Clean off any grease that falls onto the top surface of the I-beam between the bearings.
