The WXR740 Series splitters are designed with a
pivoting main frame that allows horizontal or fully
vertical splitting.
NOTE: If using a tow vehicle, leaving the splitter
attached to it provides greater stability.
1. Position the splitter next to the wood to be split.
2. If no tow vehicle is available, lower the front crank
jack and the rear jack stand. Chock the wheels so
the machine is stable.
3. Make sure working area is clear of stones,
branches or other obstacles.
4. Precut logs to desired block size, ready to load
onto splitter bed.
5. Determine where the split wood is going to be
piled. Make sure that location does not interfere
loading splitter.
6. To rotate the splitter to vertical, pull out the
T-handle lock and push the cylinder up.
