5.2.2 High Speed Position (2)
•
Pushing the lever forward to High Speed position
(2) at the first detent provides a higher cylinder
extension speed. In this position the cylinder
extends at high speed, but lower power.
•
Releasing the lever returns it to STOP.
5.2.3 High Power Position (1)
•
Push the control lever fully forward to High Power
position (1) for maximum power. The cylinder
extends at a slower speed but provides higher
power to push the wedge or push block through
the wood for effective splitting.
•
Releasing the lever returns it to STOP.
5.2.4 Retract Position
•
Pull the lever fully backwards to retract the wedge
/ push block. The valve detent holds the lever in
retract allowing a hands-free return cycle.
•
The valve lever returns to STOP (neutral) when
wedge / push block is fully retracted.
•
The lever can be moved out of Retract into STOP
at any time.
5.3 Tilting Splitter Bed
The WXR545PL models with the Tilting Splitter Bed have
a pivoting main frame that allows the splitter to be used in
the horizontal, angled, or vertical positions. Position the
splitter bed for the best application.
