8. Important

If a log does not split completely and becomes stuck on the wedge, follow the

STUCK LOG

instructions below to remove the log.

procedure

A log can become stuck to the wedge if the wedge becomes embedded in the log and the

 

log doesn’t split and separate. This can happen if the log is too stringy or tough to split

 

completely.

 

A stuck log will move back with the wedge on the initial attempt to retract the wedge. If

 

this happens, STOP retracting the wedge immediately and follow the directions below.

WARNING: NEVER attempt to remove a stuck log by:

•Using the hydraulic force of the splitter.

•Modifying the splitter.

•Adding attachments to the splitter.

Personal injury could result from log or metal pieces flying out at high speed toward the operator or bystanders, or the splitter could become damaged.

1.If there is already 1” or more of clearance between the log and endplate, go to step 2. Otherwise, retract wedge just enough to remove pressure between the log and endplate – about 1” clearance. (Move split control to return, allow wedge to move about 1”, then stop the wedge by moving the split control to neutral “N”.)

2.Turn engine OFF.

3.Remove stuck log from the wedge manually with a pry bar or a sledgehammer.

Important: Be extremely careful as log pieces may fly off as they separate from the wedge. Make sure bystanders are clear and wear safety goggles.

4.Do not attempt to resplit a stuck log once it has been removed from the wedge. Manually split with an axe or cut with a chainsaw.

9. Return wedge Move Split Control Lever away from end plate to return wedge.

Once the control valve is actuated in the return direction, the wedge is designed to keep returning by itself completely and then stop automatically.
