Caution!
Residual Hydraulic Energy
Residual energy must be released from the pressurized hydraulic fluid
before any maintenance or repair work is done on the log splitter.
Hydraulic fluid can remain highly pressurized even while the splitter's
motor is off. Escaping pressurized hydraulic fluid can penetrate skin and
cause serious injury.
To release residual hydraulic energy:
1. Shut off splitter motor (tractor motor if splitter is a three-point
hitch model).
2. Move control valve back and forth, from one limit of travel to the
other, at least four times.
3. Hold valve for three seconds at each limit of travel.

Corporation's family of convenient and versatile,
horizontal/vertical log splitters:
• TW-HVI

These log splitters feature a hinged log carriage that can
be swiveled and locked into a vertical position. Vertical

onto the carriage. The splitters also lock in horizontal
position for splitting and for transport.
