side) and Locknuts using two 1/2" Wrenches (Figure 4).
8. Remove the plastic protectors from the Pump Elbow threads.

position to connect the Hydraulic Hoses. If however you are unable to connect a
Hose to the Elbow, due to the angle, an adjustment is required. Go to “Elbow
adjustment” at the end of this document. If the Hoses will connect with no
adjustment, continue to the next step.
9. Connect the intake Hose at the Intake Elbow with a 7/8" Wrench (Figure 5).
10. Connect the Pressure Hose at the Elbow with a 19mm Wrench.
Refer to your new Dual-Action Electric Log Splitter Safety and Operating
Instruction manual to cycle and check fluid level before continuing with the
Operating section of the manual.
