Log Splitter
5.1.4 Recoil Starter
WARNING!
Fast retraction of the starter cord (called
kickback) pulls your hand and arm toward the
engine faster than you can let go of the handle.
Serious bodily harm (for example; bruises,
sprains, fractures, and broken bones) can result.
When starting the engine, pull the starter cord
slowly until you feel resistance, and then pull it
rapidly to avoid kickback.
The engine is a recoil-start. An operator grips the starter-cord
handle to pull the starter cord and start the engine.

5.2 Hydraulic Controls

The WX900 series log splitters have two hydraulic control
valves. The splitter-control valve moves the splitting wedge. The
log lifter control valve moves the log lifter shelf.
