6.9 Machine Setup
IMPORTANT! Park the log splitter on a level, dry work area
free of debris and other objects.
Position the splitter so the prevailing wind blows engine
exhaust away from the operator.
If a tow vehicle is available, leaving the splitter
attached to it provides greater stability.
1.
Position the splitter next to the wood to be split.
2.
Leave the splitter attached to the tow vehicle. If no tow
vehicle is available, lower the jack stand and chock the
wheels so the machine is stable.
3.
Make sure working area is clear of stones, branches or
other obstacles.
4.
Precut logs to desired block size, ready to load onto splitter
bed.
5.
Determine where the split wood is going to be piled. Make
sure that location does not interfere loading splitter.
