5.2 Stroke Limiter Accessory
The Stroke Limiter accessory improves productivity
when splitting shorter pieces. It stops the cylinder from
fully returning to the home position.
5.2.1 Stroke Limiter Adjustment
1. Place a typical sized log on the splitter bed, then
start / apply power to the wood splitter.
2. Using the hydraulic control, move the wedge up to
the log, but stop approximately 3" (8 cm) from it.
3. Shut off the engine. Make sure the hydraulic
control lever is in the neutral position.
4. Loosen the hex set screw on the rod adjusting
collar, and move the rod up to the wedge. (This is
the set position at which the wedge stops on the
return cycle.) Tighten the hex screw.
5. Test the set up by cycling the wedge through its
path. Split a log then put the hydraulic lever into
the return (detent) position. The lever should trip
the hydraulic control and the ram stops at the set
position. Adjust as required.
