Hydraulic Valve Control

The hydraulic valve control has three positions; forward, neutral 

and reverse and controls the movement of the ram.

Hydraulic Oil Fill

The hydraulic oil fill is located at the end of the beam and is used 

to fill the hydraulic tank with hydraulic oil.

Handle

The handle is used to slide the cylinder into operating position.

Air Vent

The air vent is located on the rear of the wedge and is used to 

help vent air out of the hydraulic fluid reservoir. To prevent fluid 

from escaping out of this hole, the log splitter must always be 

operated on level ground.

Locking Pin

The locking pin is located on the cylinder base and is used to lock 

the cylinder into the cylinder base. The cylinder can be locked in 

either the storage position or the operating lock position.

Wedge

The wedge is used to split the wood.

Ram

The ram is located on the end of the cylinder and when extended 

forces the wood against the wedge to split the wood.
