4 -Ton WOOD SPLITTER Safety & Operating Instructions
Operating the DR 4 -Ton WOOD SPLITTER
Note 1
:
For your added safety, this is a TWO HANDED OPERATION wood
splitter. The hydraulic control is a single handle valve called the Operating
Handle. The ram travels forward only while the Operating Handle is held
down and Electric Motor Start Button is depressed. The cylinder
automatically completes the return stroke when the Operating Handle is
released and Electric Motor Start Button is released.
Note 2:
Before starting the splitting operation, the log ram should be cycled 3 to 4
times back and forth (with the Air Bleed Screw open) to help remove any air
that may have mixed into the hydraulic fluid from shipping and handling. See
Step 3 on page 11 for the Air Bleed Screw Operation.
Tip:
In cold weather, cycling the ram a few times will also warm the hydraulic fluid
which will allow you to split wood with full power from your machine.
1. With a log properly loaded, and with the Air Bleed Screw open, depress the Electric
Motor Start Button with your right hand and wait a few seconds as the motor
creates pressure in the hydraulic pump.
2. When safe to do so, push down on the Operating Handle. The ram will now
compress the log against the wedge, splitting the log.
3. Keep holding the Operating Handle down until the split pieces of the log fall away.
When you have finished splitting a log, first release the Electric Motor Start Button
and then
release the Operator Handle. This will cause the ram to retract to its start
position.
4. Make sure nothing will interfere with the ram while it retracts.
5. Stack the split wood as you work. This will provide a safer work area by keeping it
uncluttered; avoiding the danger of tripping or damaging the power cord.
WARNING!
If the log does not split immediately, do not continue the
forward thrust of the ram for more than 5 seconds. To do so
can damage the splitter. After the ram has retracted try
repositioning the log on the splitter or set the log aside.
