About Your Log Splitter:
This log splitter is a machine designed to split wood logs using a hydraulically powered moving ram which pushes the
log against a splitting wedge. The log splitter's gasoline engine is used to pressurize the hydraulic system.
This log splitter is designed to split logs
up to
30" long and 24" in diameter
,
lengthwise with the grain only.
The
splitter features 1) a power log lift that assists in loading logs onto the beam for splitting, and 2) a splitting wedge that
can be adjusted to split logs into either halves, or for larger logs, quarters.
The technical specifications for your log splitter are provided on p. 27 of this manual.
