-General Description-
Read carefully before attempting to install, operate or service the Ramsplitter
log splitter. Retain this information for your future reference.
Your Ramsplitter log splitter is American made and constructed of the best ma-
terials available to do the job. Your safety has been considered in every feature
and component of your Ramsplitter log splitter.
The gasoline engine or electric motor operates a pump, which supplies high
pressure oil to the cylinder by way of the control valve and high pressure hoses.
When the control valve is moved to the forward extent position, oil is allowed to
flow through the hoses to the rear of the cylinder which, in turn, forces the ram to
extend outward toward the wedge. When the control lever is reversed and put in
the retract position, the direction of the oil flow is changed and the high pressure
oil is forced into the front of the cylinder, thereby retracting the ram. A large reser-
voir stores and cools the hydraulic oil and incorporates a high density filter to fil-
ter out any foreign particles and, therefore greatly extends the life of your Rams-
plitter log splitter. A safety relief valve is preset at the factory to protect the hy-
draulic system from excessive pressures.
The same operation applies to your tractor attachment or Skid Steer attach-
ment. When you hook up to the hoses up to your auxiliary outputs, make sure
you have the oil flowing in correct direction. Make sure when you activate the
handle on the valve that the cylinder moves forward when you push the handle to
the forward position. If this does not happen you have the flow of the oil re-
versed.
