5.5.1 Block Dropper, Adjusting
Set the block dropper for typical log size. The gas struts can be
adjusted together or independent of each other.
If the log does not fall squarely into the splitting hopper, adjust
as required:
1. First try setting one strut as active. Lift up the block dropper
paddle (1) and slide the end of one strut down the slot (2)
so it is inactive. No tools are required to do this.
2. If one support is not adequate, try setting both struts as
active.
3. If further adjustment is required, use tools to adjust strut at
position (3).
If the block dropper is not required altogether, retract it out of the
way. Lift and slide both base ends of the gas struts down the
slot on the support (2).

• The spring-loaded indicator can be locked at any desired
position along the slide. For reference, follow the decal on
the back of the splitter hopper, or use the vertical slotted
holes in the back plate. Each hole is 2 inches (5 cm) apart.
• Advance the log up to the stop for each cut.
