5.2.1  STOP Position

• 

STOP is the valve’s neutral position. The wedge 

or push block stop moving when the valve lever 

is moved to this position. The valve lever spring-

returns to STOP when released from either extend 

position, or auto-retract.

• 

The valve lever can be moved to STOP at any 

time.

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.

6.  Operating Instructions

Wallenstein WXR Trailer Wood Splitters are self-

contained machines designed to push wood through a 

wedge to split it. 

• 

The WXR720 splitter models operate in the 

horizontal configuration only. 

• 

The WXR740 splitter models can be used in the 

vertical or horizontal configuration. 

The operator has the responsibility of being 

familiar with all operating and safety procedures 

and following them.

6.1  Operating Safety

Read and obey the safety signs on the machine. Clean 

or replace them if they are not legible. 

There is no substitute for a cautious, safe-minded 

operator who recognizes potential hazards and follows 

reasonable safety practices. This machine must be 

used with all its safety equipment properly installed to 

minimize the chance of accidents. 

1. 

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. 

Tie back long hair, remove jewelry, and avoid loose 

fitting clothing. Prolonged exposure to loud noise 

can cause permanent hearing loss! Wear hearing 

protection on a full-time basis when using this 

machine.

2. 

The operator must be in control of the machine at 

all times. Read and understand owner's manual 

before starting. Review safety instructions annually.

3. 

Never use engine-powered machinery indoors. 

Gas engine exhaust contains toxic carbon 

monoxide, which cannot be smelled or seen. 

Breathing carbon monoxide can be lethal.

4. 

Make sure all guards, deflectors and shields are in 

place before starting and operating. 

5. 

Keep hands out of splitting area. Do not rest hands 

on the log being split.

6. 

Do not step over or straddle splitter during 

operation.

7. 

Do not try to split more than one log at a time. The 

logs can fly out and cause injury.

8. 

Keep your fingers and hands away from cracks in 

the log that can open while splitting.

9. 

Always load logs by grasping the bark side, not the 

cut ends.

10. 

Do not reach into or load the splitter when the 

wedge is in motion.
