4.4 Splitting Wedge Height Lever
This multi-position
lever controls and sets
the height position of
the horizontal splitting
wedge.
At its lowest position the 4-way wedge becomes a two
way wedge, to handle smaller logs, increasing the
height allows for 4 way splitting of larger logs. Adjust
the height as required.
1. Pull the lever out slightly to clear the adjustment
cogs, then move the lever towards the engine to
lower the splitter wedge.
2. To raise the wedge, pull the lever out slightly to
clear the adjustment cogs, then move the lever
away from the engine.
3. For even sized splits, align the centre wedge with
the centre of the log.
