5.3 Stroke Limiter Accessory
The Stroke Limiter accessory improves productivity when
splitting shorter pieces. It stops the cylinder from fully returning
to the home position.
5.3.1 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 anvil or 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 anvil / wedge. (This is the set
position at which the anvil or wedge stops on the return
cycle.) Tighten the hex screw.
5. Test the set up by cycling the anvil / 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 anvil / ram stops at the set position. Adjust as
required.
