6. Operating Instructions
The operator has the responsibility of being
familiar with all operating and safety procedures
and following them.
IMPORTANT! Before starting work with the wood
splitter, become familiar with the location and
function of all controls.
6.1 Attaching to Tractor

the implement during hitching. Too fast of an
approach or the operator’s foot slipping from the
clutch can lead to injury or fatality to the person
standing nearby.

Reverse in line with Splitter
1.
On the tractor, place the 3-point hitch lift arms in
their full sway position, then reverse the tractor
up to the splitter. The tractor needs to be exactly
in-line with the mounting points of the splitter
otherwise attaching the 3-point hitch may require
moving the implement from side to side.
2.
When reversing, lower/raise the lift arms so that
they are level with the lower attachment points on
the splitter.
3.
Back up slowly and align the balls in the lift arms to
the pins on the splitter.
4.
Apply the tractor park brake.
5.
Starting on one side, push the floating ball on the
tractor's lift arms over the lower attachment pin on
the splitter.

Attach Lift Arms and Lynch Pins
6.
Do the other side in the same manner, keeping the
lift arms even. Insert lynch pins on both sides to
secure the splitter to the tractor.
7.
Attach the tractor top link to the upper attachment
point on the splitter. Insert the pin and lynch pin.
8.
As with any implement, the turnbuckle on the top
link may need to be adjusted to level the splitter.
Raise the implement just off the ground to check.
Adjust top link length as required.
