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.
Cracks in logs can close quickly and pinch fingers.
Keep fingers away from any cracks that open in
partially split logs.
Keep hands and ngers away from the splitter wedge
and log stripper during cylinder retraction.
Never operate through the relief valve for more than
5 seconds.
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 16a and Figure 16b).
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.
Sudden stopping at a high speed under a heavy load
is not recommended. Engine damage may result.
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.
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.
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.
