Operating the DR 4 -Ton WOOD SPLITTER

Note 1: For your added safety, this is a TWO HANDED OPERATION wood splitter. The hydraulic control is a single handle valve called the Operating Handle. The ram travels forward only while the Operating Handle is held down and Electric Motor Start Button is depressed. The cylinder automatically completes the return stroke when the Operating Handle is released and Electric Motor Start Button is released.

Note 2: Before starting the splitting operation, the log ram should be cycled 3 to 4 times back and forth (with the Air Bleed Screw open) to help remove any air that may have mixed into the hydraulic fluid from shipping and handling. See Step 3 on page 11 for the Air Bleed Screw Operation.

Tip: In cold weather, cycling the ram a few times will also warm the hydraulic fluid which will allow you to split wood with full power from your machine.

1.With a log properly loaded, and with the Air Bleed Screw open, depress the Electric Motor Start Button with your right hand and wait a few seconds as the motor creates pressure in the hydraulic pump.

2.When safe to do so, push down on the Operating Handle. The ram will now compress the log against the wedge, splitting the log.

3.Keep holding the Operating Handle down until the split pieces of the log fall away. When you have finished splitting a log, first release the Electric Motor Start Button and then release the Operator Handle. This will cause the ram to retract to its start position.

WARNING! If the log does not split immediately, do not continue the forward thrust of the ram for more than 5 seconds. To do so can damage the splitter. After the ram has retracted try repositioning the log on the splitter or set the log aside.

4.Make sure nothing will interfere with the ram while it retracts.

5.Stack the split wood as you work. This will provide a safer work area by keeping it uncluttered; avoiding the danger of tripping or damaging the power cord.
