Before Starting

Before beginning operation of your woodsplitter be sure to read and
understand operating and safety instructions as outlined in the woods­plitter and engine operator’s manuals.

Starting Operation

For engine starting instructions, see applicable engine operator’s man­ual. Before operating the woodsplitter check hydraulic oil level and
check to make sure wedge slide is free from all obstructions and debris.
Never run woodsplitter inside without adequate ventilation as it will
cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Never permit a minor or incompe­tent operator to operate machine.

Woodsplitter Operation

When machine is in desired location, set adjustable back leg (2) to sta­bilize machine. To operate in horizontal position, simply start engine
and machine is ready to work. The wedge will move the same direc-
tion as the valve lever (1) is pushed. To split a log, push forward on
the lever to extend cylinder and wedge. When log is split, pull lever
back until you feel it lock into the valve detent and it will return automati­cally. Woodsplitter can also be used in the vertical position by releasing
spring latch and lifting it to upright position. Always keep sliding wedge
mechanism free of all foreign material.

Maintenance

Maintenance of the woodsplitter is very easy. Always keep the oil res­ervoir filled to the flat area on the dipstick. Your woodsplitter comes
shipped from the factory with Dexron III transmission fluid installed, as it
easily handles a wide range of temperatures. Change oil if it becomes
discoloured or after 500 hours of use. Oil filter should be changed at
least every 500 hours of operation. Oil capacity of the reservoir is ap­proximately 17 litres. Keep wheel bearings well greased.
