See the Engine Operator’s Manual for the location and function of the controls on the engine.

Beam Locks

The beam locks are used to secure the beam in either the horizontal position or the vertical position. The vertical beam lock is located next to the engine. The horizontal beam lock is located on the beam support latch bracket.

Control Handle

Use the control handle to move the log splitter wedge forward and backward along the beam. It has three positions; Forward, Neutral and Reverse. See the Operation section for instructions.

Dipstick

Use the dipstick to check the hydraulic fluid level.

The log dislodger is designed to remove any partially split wood from the wedge while it is retracting. This may occur while splitting large diameter wood or freshly cut wood.

Log Tray

The log tray is designed to catch the log after it is split.

Hitch Coupling

Use the hitch coupling to attach the log splitter to a towing vehicle for transportation.

Jack Stand

The jack stand supports the log splitter while in the operating position.
