Hydraulic
Connectors

Attaching the Log Splitter to the Tractor

There are many different types and sizes of Tractor Hydraulic Connectors
(Figure 14). For this reason the Splitter Hoses do not have Connectors on the
ends. This allows you to purchase the correct type/size for your application.
You may need to bring your Connectors to the supplier to ensure you get the
correct mating Connectors for your Tractor. The Splitter Hose threads are 1/2"
NPT Male where the Connector you will purchase attaches to the Hose.

 Before performing the following procedure, be sure your Tractor engine is

off, brake is set, and the key removed for safety.

 Refer to your tractor manual or Tractor supplier before removing

connectors or performing any procedures involving Tractor specific
alterations to prevent damage to equipment or personal injury.

NOTE: Blocking the Splitter up off the ground to the level that the three point hitch
can adjust to will aid attachment. It is also a good idea to store the Splitter in this
manner in between use.

1. Position the Tractor to the Log Splitter and position the Lower Draft Arms to

the Splitter Hookup Pins (Figure 15).

2. Slide the Lower Draft Arms onto the Splitter Hookup Pins and secure with

Tractor Hitch Pins.

3. Position the Upper Draft Arm inside the Mounting Bracket and align with the

Mounting Bracket Holes.

4. Insert the Tractor Hitch Pin to secure the Upper Draft Arm to the Splitter.

5. Attach the left side Splitter Hose Connector to the pressure Port coming

from the Tractor pump (Figure 16). Attach the right side Splitter Hose
Connector to the return Port going to the Tractor Hydraulic Tank.

Note: If the Hoses are attached to the wrong Connectors the direction that the
Operator Lever is pushed will be opposite the direction of the Wedge. Simply swap
the Hoses to ensure the Wedge travels in the same direction that the Operator Lever
is pushed.

Do not lift the Splitter to the full height of the 3 Point Hitch range. The top

Figure 16

link of some tractors may hit the splitter frame and become damaged. Check
your range carefully so you know how high the splitter can be safely lifted for
transport.

Zone

 Read and understand all instructions, safety precautions, and/or

warnings listed in “Chapter 1 General Safety Rules” before operating this
DR Dual-action 3 PT Hitch Log Splitter. If any doubt or question arises
about the correct or safe method of performing anything found in this
manual, please contact our Customer Service Representatives at our toll
free number: 1-800-DR-OWNER (376-9637).

 When operating the Log Splitter, make sure you are standing in the safe

operating area (OPERATOR ZONE) as shown in figure 17. You must stay
in the safe operating area at all times when the splitting wedge is in
motion (whether extending or retracting). Never place any part of your
body into a position that causes an unsafe operating condition.

 Before loading and operating the Log Splitter, always wear protective

gear, INCLUDING safety goggles, hearing protection, tight-fitting gloves
without draw strings or loose cuffs, and steel-toed shoes.

 Use the following photos for the correct and incorrect methods of

splitting logs. Never split a log using an incorrect or unsafe method.

1. Start the Tractor and adjust your Splitter to the desired height with the

Tractor 3 PT Hitch.

2. Make sure the Tractor is in neutral and the Emergency Brake is set.

3. Set throttle and power the hydraulics to the Splitter as necessary for your

Tractor.

4. Using the Control Lever, make the Wedge travel all the way to the end of

the stroke at least twice to be sure to bleed any residual air from the hoses.

 Do not place your hands on the ends of the log when loading the Log

Splitter. This is a very UNSAFE method and could result in injury to your
hands (Figure 18).

 Do not reach or step across the rail while the Log Splitter is running. This

is a very UNSAFE method which could cause personal injury or even
death.

Figure 19

Never attempt to split wood across the grain. The Log Splitter was not
designed for cross-grain splitting. Doing so could damage the Log Splitter
and may cause personal injury (Figure 19).

Make sure both ends of the log you are splitting are cut as square as possible.
This will prevent the log from sliding out of position while under pressure
(Figure 20)

Never run the Log Splitter unless the Hydraulic Fluid Tank is at the proper
level.

5. Place the log on the Log Splitter. Grasp the log on the sides near the middle

of the block (Figure 21). Center the log, side-to-side, on the rail of the Log
Splitter, making sure that one end is against the Stop Base.

6. Using only your hand, push the Valve Control Handle forward (towards the

log) (Figure 22). If the log moves before it is contacted by the Wedge, release the
Valve Control Handle and then reposition the log.

7. Hold the Valve Control Handle, moving the Wedge towards the Log until the

log is split or the cylinder rod stops at its maximum travel position. Stop the Log
Splitter (forward movement), at any point in the splitting process, if you feel an
unsafe splitting condition is occurring. As the log is being split, DO NOT reach
forward and attempt to catch the split wood — let it fall to the ground/Tray.

8. Once the Wedge reaches its full forward travel, let go of the Valve Control

Handle and the Wedge will stay at that position.

If the log does not split immediately, do not continue the forward thrust of the
Ram for more than five (5) seconds. This can damage the Splitter. Try
repositioning the log on the Splitter or set the log aside.

9. Load another log on the other side of the Wedge and pull the Valve Control

Handle, moving the Wedge towards you and the Log until the log is split or the
cylinder rod stops at its maximum travel position.

Splitting Large Logs

Figure 22

Depending on the type of wood being split, a log may not always split into two pieces and fall onto the Trays. If a log sticks to the
Wedge, move the Wedge away from the Base, stop the Engine, and carefully remove the log from the Wedge. If the Log is stuck
onto the Wedge and you can’t remove it by hand, a piece of wood cut into a Wedge shape can be used between the Log and Base
to lift the Log from the machine as you actuate the Lever.

DUAL-ACTION 3 PT HITCH LOG SPLITTER

When splitting a large log, or one in which the wood is extremely tough or stringy
(such as elm), the first pass through the Splitter may not split the log into two
sections. If this happens, turn the log and split off small sections. Repeat this process
as necessary to split the entire log.

Chapter 4: Maintaining The DR DUAL-ACTION 3 PT HITCH LOG SPLITTER

Regular maintenance is the way to ensure the best performance and long life of your machine. Please refer to this manual and the
Tractor manufacturer's owner's manual for maintenance procedures.

Before performing any maintenance procedure or inspection, stop the Tractor, set the Brake and remove the Key, wait five (5)
minutes to allow all parts to cool.

Regular Maintenance Checklist

PROCEDURE BEFORE EACH USE EVERY 25 HOURS EVERY 100 HOURS

Check General Equipment Condition
Check Wedge for Sharpness

▲
▲

General Maintenance Check (before operating)

The Hydraulic System (hoses and cylinder) should be carefully inspected before each use. Also, inspect the mechanical parts at
the same time. Make sure all clamps, nuts, bolts, fittings, etc., are properly installed and tightened.

Do not check for leaks with your hand. Leaks can be located by passing a piece of cardboard or wood around the suspected leak
and looking for discoloration. High-pressure fluid escaping from a very small hole can be almost invisible. Escaping fluid under
pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate skin, causing serious injury or even death. If fluid is injected into your skin, it must
be treated immediately by a doctor familiar with this type of injury.

Always replace frayed, kinked, or cracked hoses and/or other damaged hydraulic components with DR Power Equipments
authorized parts and components specified in the “Parts” section (Chapter 6) of this manual. Replacement parts from secondary
suppliers (not original DR Power Equipments replacement parts) can lead to product damage and/or personal injury, and will void
the warranty.

Should it become necessary to loosen or remove any hydraulic fitting or line, be sure to relieve all hydraulic pressure by shutting
off the Tractor and moving the valve control handle back and forth several times until no cylinder movement is visible.

parts to cool.

 Check the Wedge for nicks and wear. Sharpen if needed.
 Clean the exterior of the unit to remove all dirt, grease, and any other foreign material. To prevent rust, touch up painted surfaces

that have been scratched or chipped.
