Figure 5. Attaching the support leg.

Before you begin operations, do Steps 1–5below to make sure your splitter is running properly.

To test run the log splitter:

1.Make sure that all tools and other materials are cleared away from the machine.

2. Review SECTIONS 1 and 2 (SAFETY and CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS) on Pages 15- 8 and connect your machine to the power source.

3.Turn the air bleed screw clockwise (as you face the rear of the splitter) until it stops, then turn it counterclockwise two full turns.

4. Press the ON button in and, while holding it down, push the hydraulic control lever down. The ram should move forward, stopping about 8⁜3⁄8" from the splitting wedge.

Note: For your safety, both the ON button and the hydraulic lever must be engaged to start the ram moving forward.

5. When the ram stops moving forward, release both ON button and the control lever. The motor will stop running and the ram will slide back to the start position.

—If the ram moves as described in Steps 4–5, then the splitter is working properly and the test run is complete.

—If the ram does not operate as described, or if the splitter vibrates excessively or makes unusual noises, stop using the splitter immediately, disconnect the split- ter from the power supply and refer to Troubleshooting on Page 17 If you still cannot resolve the problem, contact our Technical Support at (570) 546-9663.
