valve detent holds the lever in Retract allowing a hands-free
return cycle.
• The valve lever spring-returns to Neutral when released
from auto-retract.

5.2 Stroke Limiter Accessory
(As equipped)
The Stroke Limiter accessory improves productivity when
splitting shorter pieces. It stops the cylinder from fully returning
to the home position.
5.2.1 Stroke Limiter Adjustment
1. Place a typical sized log on the splitter bed, then start /
apply power to the wood splitter.
2. Using the hydraulic control, move the wedge up to the log,
but stop approximately 3" (8 cm) from it.
3. Shut off the engine. Make sure the hydraulic control lever is
in the neutral position.
4. Loosen the hex set screw on the rod adjusting collar, and
move the rod up to the wedge. (This is the set position at
which the wedge stops on the return cycle.) Tighten the hex
screw.
5. Test the set up by cycling the wedge through its path. Split
a log then put the hydraulic lever into the return (detent)
position. The lever should trip the hydraulic control and the
ram stops at the set position. Adjust as required.
