Step 1: Wheel Assembly
1. Attach the wheel (#2) to the oil tank axle (#1) using
a flat 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 assem-
bly. 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
prevent its loss. Rotate the wheel and observe for
smooth and free movement. (See fig. 2)
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.
WARNING
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.
