⇒ If the engine still smokes, call 1(800) DR-OWNER (376-9637) for assistance.
The engine stalls
when the splitting
wedge engages the
wood. ⇒ The engine may not be properly adjusted. Call 1(800) DR-OWNER (376-9637) for
assistance .
The splitting wedge
moves slowly, but will
split wood. ⇒ Check the hydraulic fluid level in the hydraulic tank and fill if necessary.
⇒ Check the high-pressure hose, fittings, and valve openings for dirt and debris that may
have obstructed the openings.
The ram will not
automatically retract. ⇒ Check the slide rail or splitting wedge for damage.
⇒ Push the valve handle to the retract position. If the handle will not stay in this position,
call 1(800) DR-OWNER (376-9637) for assistance.

during operation. ⇒ The hydraulic fluid tank may be over-filled. Drain fluid to 1 inch below the top of the tank.
