KNOW YOUR TRACTOR
Refer to the Tractor Owner's manual for instructions on how to start and stop the Tractor engine, and how to set throttle
and power the hydraulics to the Splitter.
OPERATING POSITIONS
1. Place the beam in either the horizontal or vertical position. Always use the log splitter in the vertical position when
splitting heavy logs.
WARNING! Take extra care when raising and lowering the beam as it is fairly heavy. Having a second
person assist with raising or lowering the beam is recommended. Be sure to keep hands away from any
possible pinch points.
2. How to place the beam in the Vertical Position:
Pull the horizontal beam lock out to release
the beam and pivot the beam to the vertical
position.
See FIGURE 10
3. How to place the beam in the Horizontal Position:
Pivot the beam to the horizontal position.
The horizontal beam lock is self-locking.
The spring loaded lock will snap into place
when the beam is lowered into position.
LUBRICATE BEAM AND WEDGE
Lubricate the beam area (where the splitting wedge will slide) with engine oil. Do not use grease. See FIGURE 11.
