OPERATION
1. Cut the logs for splitting to 23 1/4in. or less to fit into the splitter. The wedge can be adjusted to
accommodate up to 5 different log lengths (up to 24in. max.).
2. To enable the hydraulic jack ram, pump the foot pedal of the hydraulic pump to raise the splitter
workbench.
3. Pull both of the wedge release pins out of the holes in the post, and lower the wedge to a height
slightly more than the length of the log.
Down Pedal
Note: Make sure the wedge release pins are firmly seated in the post holes before
continuing.
4. Place the log securely on the splitter workbench.
5. Keeping the log stable and your hands out of the way of the wedge, use the hydraulic foot pedal
to raise the log up tight against the wedge.
6. Keeping your hands away from the log and log splitter, continue with even strokes of the
hydraulic foot pedal until the log is split.
7. Remove the wood pieces and clear the area of any debris.
8. To lower the splitter workbench, apply downward pressure to the workbench after releasing the
pressure from the hydraulic pump by treading the down pedal that is assembled on the jack.
MAINTENANCE
Maintain your splitter. It is recommended that the general condition of any splitter be examined
before it is used. Keep your splitter in good repair by adopting a program of conscientious repair and
maintenance. If any abnormal vibrations or noise occurs, have the problem corrected before further
use. Have necessary repairs made by qualified service personnel.
•
Store the log splitter in a dry location by treading the release lever to relieve hydraulic pressure.
•
Wipe down the log splitter to remove tree sap or dirt after each use. Occasionally, you may
need to add hydraulic oil to maximize performance (see below).
