4. Place Jack Stands under the Axle assembly to allow room to install the
Wheels.
5. Place a Wheel onto the Axle with the Valve Stem facing out and the loose
Tapered Bearing on the outside (Figure 5).
Note: Make sure the rollers of the Tapered Bearing are facing in. The Hub and
Bearing were greased at the factory. Do not remove the grease.
6. Install the Castle Nut onto the Axle Threads with a 1-1/2" Wrench until the
Tapered Bearing is just pushing against the inside of the Wheel Hub but not
too tight (Figure 6). There should be minimal amount of drag on the Wheel
when rotated by hand.
7. Turn the Castle Nut back only as far as needed to align the closest slot in the
Nut with the Hole in the Axle. Insert the Cotter Pin and bend the ends
around with Pliers to secure the Nut. Check that the wheel will rotate freely
and does not wobble on the axle.
8. Install the Dust Cap with a soft face Hammer (Figure 7).
9. Repeat steps 5 thru 8 for the second Wheel.
10. Use a Jack Stand to raise the front of the Splitter allowing room for installing
the Tow Hitch and Jack.
11. Remove the six sets of hardware (three per side) that are installed at the
front of the Beam assembly (Figure 8).
12. Position the Tow Hitch and secure the right side with three sets of the Bolts,
Lock Washers and Locknuts and one set on the left side using two 3/4"
Wrenches (Figure 9).
13. Install the Jack, Spacers and U-Bolts with the lower Clamp and U-Bolt
located between the two positioning rings of the Jack Housing (Figure 10).
Note: The Jack must be installed at a 45° angle for Handle clearance. Temporarily
install a Tray as a guide for checking Handle clearance.
14. Secure the U-Bolts with Flat Washers and Locknuts using a 9/16" Wrench.
15. Remove the Jack Stand and roll the Splitter from the Pallet.
