The splitter wedge is designed to reach the full extension
before contacting the foot plate.
To extend the life of the hydraulic cylinder, avoid “bottoming
out” the wedge plate to the foot piece. To conform with
industry safety recommendations, the wedge stops 1.5 inches
from the end of the stroke.
Forward position – Move the lever in this direction to extend the cylinder
toward the spinner foot plate. Keep pressure on the lever until the log splits.
The lever does not lock in this position. Release as soon as the log is split or
the cylinder is fully extended. (See Figure 25a and Figure 25b.).
SPLIT CONTROL HANDLE
Neutral position – In this position the cylinder does not move even though
the engine is running.
Reverse position – Move the lever in this position to retract the cylinder.
Push the lever fully in this direction to lock it return mode. The lever will
automatically return to the neutral position once the cylinder fully retracts.
STOP ENGINE
Return the cylinder to fully retracted position or home position. Move the
Throttle lever to SLOW ( ). Move the engine switch to OFF. Close the
fuel shut-off valve ( ).
If the engine is hot,
closing the choke is not
necessary.
5. Move the throttle lever slightly to
the FAST speed.
STARTING ENGINE
1. Make sure the control lever is in the neutral position.
2. Move the engine switch to the ON
position.
3. Open the fuel shut-off valve.
4. Move the choke lever to the
CLOSED position.
6. Pull the recoil starter until engine compression has become difcult
to pull. Let the recoil return to the home position, then pull quickly to
start the engine. Repeat steps as needed. Fully open the choke and
set the throttle to the FAST position, before operating the unit.
ONOFF
Sudden stopping at a high
speed under a heavy load is not
recommended. Engine damage may result.
Never operate through the relief valve
for more than 5 seconds.
Rapid retraction of the starter cord
(kickback) will pull your handand
arm toward the engine faster than you can let go. Broken bones,
fractures, bruises, or sprains could result.
Cracks in logs can close quickly and
pinch ngers. Keep ngers away from
any cracks that open in partially split logs.
Keep hands and fingers away from
the splitter wedge and log stripper
during cylinder retraction.
