SECTION III: OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
FORWARD — Move the control handle to the FORWARD
position which will engage the wedge forward to split the log.
NEUTRAL — Release the control handle to the NEUTRAL
position, the wedge stops moving at any point during splitting.
REVERSE — Engage the control handle to the REVERSE
position, the wedge will travel backward automatically.
NOTE: DO NOT hold the handle at the FORWARD position when
the wedge is fully extended. The over built up pressure may
squeeze the pressure relief valve, and the control handle won’t
be released to NEUTRAL position automatically. Manually pull
the handle to NEUTRAL or REVERSE position to recover. Or the
hydraulic system may get damaged and void your warranty.
