Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the tool, ensure the engine is mounted securely on a stable workbench. Identify the appropriate bolt holes on the crankcase and adjust the tool arms to match the pattern, securing them firmly with the included bolts. Always use a small amount of lubricant on the main thread of the splitter to ensure smooth operation and prevent thread wear.
Compatibility is focused on motorcycles, dirt bikes, and ATVs; always verify your specific engine's service manual to confirm that the mounting points are compatible with the arm spacing of the tool. Regarding care, wipe the tool down with a clean shop rag after use and store it in a dry location to prevent corrosion. Periodically inspect the threads of the center bolt for signs of stripping or debris buildup.
