Pressure Relief Valve Setting.
If the pressure relief valve is set too low it will open up
before enough pressure is built up to properly operate
the ram. (See figure 23)
To set the Pressure Relief Valve:
1. Remove the acorn nut on the Relief Valve.
2. Loosen the locknut.
3. Have someone place a log crossways in the
Splitter and allow the Rarn to push against it with
the engine running wide open.
4. If the engine begins to lug down, the Relief Valve
setting is correct.
5. If adjustment is necessary, tighten the screw until
the engine begins to lug down.
Shut off the engine, tighten the locknut and
replace the acorn nut.
