WX540L Features

 

Vertical and Horizontal splitting-  Quickly and easily switch into the vertical position to split logs too large to lift onto the splitting bed.

 

Wide Wedge-  Wide wedge spreads and pops the log in a short distance, reducing cycle time.

 

Two Stage Hydraulic Pump-Maximize your efficiency with the 2-stage pump that moves quickly and splits powerfully.

 

Highway Towable-  Transport your unit with hitch, safety chains, highway tires, and full trailer lighting.

Hands Free Return- Switched to reverse, the wedge returns to the start position hands free and then automatically clicks back to neutral.

 

Factory Installed Light Kit-  L Model units come with a factory installed light kit equipped with brake lights and turn signals. They use a standard 4-pin connector.

Direct Pressure-  Full splitting force is always applied because the cylinder is directly inline with the log, powering through the toughest wood with ease.

If you have any questions or concerns, contact your dealer.


The hydraulic splitter-control valve has a detent mechanism that holds the splitter control in the Retract position until the hydraulic cylinder (wedge or push block) is fully retracted. When the hydraulic cylinder is fully retracted the detent releases the splitter control from the Retract position to the Neutral position.

If the detent releases the splitter control before the hydraulic cylinder fully retracts or does not release the splitter control when the hydraulic cylinder is fully retracted, adjust the detent release pressure.
