Equipment Operation

Note: The Log Splitter can accommodate logs up to 25” long and with no more than a 12” diameter. The maximum diameter applies to most soft to medium types of woods. Maximum diameter of hardwoods may vary de- pending on density of the wood.

1.Chock the wheels before starting the engine or changing the position (verti- cal/horizontal) of the unit.

2.Choose the 4-way splitter or the regular splitter and secure the splitter in place with the Clevis Pin (74) and the R-Pin (41).

3.Check oil, gas and hydraulic fluid levels, and fill as necessary. Start the engine, see manufacturer’s manual for directions.

4.Place a log on the Log Lift (1). Push the RIGHT control lever forward to engage the Log Lift and move the log into cutting position. Do not place the logs directly on the Rail Assembly; it is more safe and efficient to use the

Log Lift - See Figure G.

5.When the Log is in place on the Rail Assembly, pull the lever back and allow the Log Lift to return to the original position.
