OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
1.
Set up the log splitter in a clear, level area.
2.
Place a log on the beam against the foot plate. Make sure the log is securely up against foot plate.
3.
Depress the valve handle so that the cylinder will drive the wedge into the log. Extend the cylinder
until the log splits or to the end of its stroke. If the log has not completely split after the cylinder has
reached the end of its extension, retract the cylinder.
WARNING
Splitting force is determined by cylinder size and the tractor PSI. The cycle time depends
on the cylinder size and GPM’s that the tractor produces. Tractor should ideally produce
8-15 GPM at 1500 to 2500 PSI.
Do not exceed 3200 PSI
. See tables below for approximate splitting force and cycle
time calculations. The 3-Point Log Splitter is designed for tractors with pressure ratings
that are under 3200psi. Exceeding the recommended pressure rating will void the
warranty and damage the equipment.
