Β*Well the log splitter is mostly metal too ... ennyway , I have a minor
but irritating problem with the actuator valve . Pull to split and it goes great , pull the handle back to retract and it works great . As long as you hold it back . There's an internal detent there that's supposed to hold the handle in the retract position until the ram bottoms out , and it's not holding . Directly opposite the valve piston on the other end is a formed sheet metal cup device with a socket head cap screw sticking out , it has a jam nut to hold it adjusted ... I THINK this is where I'd adjust tension on that detent , but then again , I have zero experience with hydraulic valves . -- Snag Yes , I'm old and crochety - and armed . Get outta my woods ! |

Loosen the Jam Nut. 2. Adjust the Bolt. Screw Bolt into the Return Lever if the Operator lever is being pushed forward before fully retracting. Unscrew the Bolt from the Return Lever if the Operator lever is not being disengaged and the Engine is stalling. 3. When finished, hold the Bolt with the Wrench as you tighten the Jam Nut against the Lever using a Wrench.Β* Test and readjust as needed. |
