Operation Overview
The purpose of this overview is to provide the nov-
ice machine operator with a basic understanding
of how the machine is used during operation, so
the machine controls/components discussed later
in this manual are easier to understand.
Due to the generic nature of this overview, it is
not intended to be an instructional guide. To learn
more about specific operations, read this entire
manual and seek additional training from expe-
rienced machine operators, and do additional
research outside of this manual by reading "how-
to" books, trade magazines, or websites.
To complete a typical operation, the operator
does the following:
1. Places log splitter on flat, stable work
surface, and blocks wheels.
2. Makes sure support leg is secured in down
position.
3. Checks that engine and hydraulic tank are
filled with proper amount of fluid.
4. Sets up log splitter for horizontal or vertical
operation. If operating in horizontal position,
ensures beam is secured with beam lock pin;
if operating in vertical position, ensures foot
plate sits on flat, stable ground.
5. Puts on safety glasses, hearing protection,
leather work boots, and leather work gloves.
6. Turns engine ON.
7. Places log lengthwise on beam and flat
against foot plate.
8. Moves control lever to forward position to
drive wedge through log, then moves lever
to reverse position to retract wedge. After
wedge retracts, lever automatically resets to
neutral position.
9. Repeats Steps 4–8 as needed for remaining
logs, then turns engine OFF.
