Kinetic Splitter General Information

1. Break in period - Break in period for the kinetic splitter is 500 cycles. During this period rack will return slower than normal.

2. Principle of operation - This unit is designed to outperform the traditional hydraulic 20ton log splitter. Splitting power is derived from 1 spinning fly wheel. When actuation handle is moved to split position, the rotational energy stored in flywheel is converted to splitting force. This unit is fast and powerful. The result is a unit that splits all wood up to 4 times faster than conventional 20ton hydraulic units. All without the need for hydraulic fluid.

3. Adjust return speed of push plate by yourself. - Take off the end cover and pull the return spring down, adjust the bolt to the necessary position you ever want, #1 hole stands for lowest, quicker on #2 hole and fastest on #3 hole, then pull the return spring on the bolt.

Troubleshooting

No.

Problem Cause Solution

Engine will not start 1. Check gas level

2. Check oil level

3. Check fuel ON/OFF

4. Check ON/OFF switch

2. Add oil

3. Reference engine manual

Push plate cannot retract or retracts slowly

Push plate retract too fast

Wood Chips or Debris under push plate

Push plate has too much clearance

1. Remove debris from the push plate

2. Cold weather can thicken grease in clutch. In cold weather (Under 30 degrees

F.) simply run unit through some cycles to heat up grease and return time should steadily get faster.

Tighten the nut under the push plate

No force or little force during splitting

1. #57 Round Nut M40x1.5 is loose

2. Clutch spring deformed

Operation handle is hard to operate

Clutch needs grease

Noise from engagement clutch 2. Clutch is not completely disengaged

1. Enlarge the clearance and tight the #57

Round Nut

M40x1.5.

2. Replace the clutch spring

Add grease via clutch grease fittings.
