5.2 Splitter Control
The WXR Series log splitters are equipped with 2X2–
Speed FIREBOLT technology. The FIREBOLT system consists of
a two-stage hydraulic pump and a regenerative control valve.
The splitter control has two extend positions that provide either
High speed (2) or High power (1).
When retracting the splitter control, the lever is held back
automatically until the splitting wedge or push block returns,
providing hands-free operation.

High Power Position
• Push the splitter-control lever fully forward to the high
power position for maximum power. The cylinder extends
at a slower speed but provides higher power to push the
wedge or push block through the wood.
• Releasing the lever returns it to the stop position.
High Speed Position
• Pushing the lever forward to the high speed position
provides a higher cylinder extension speed. In this position
the cylinder extends at high speed, but lower power.
• Releasing the lever returns it to the stop position.
Stop Position
• The stop position is when the splitter-control valve is in
neutral.The wedge or push block stops moving when the
lever is moved to this position. The valve lever spring-
returns to the stop position when released from either the
extend position, or auto-retract.
• The splitter-control lever can be moved to stop at any time.
Retract Position
• Pull the lever fully backwards to retract the wedge or push
block. The splitter-control valve holds the lever in retract
allowing a hands-free return cycle.
• The valve lever returns to the stop position when wedge or
push block is fully retracted.
• The lever can be moved out of the retract position and into
the stop position at any time.
