Welcome to AS. The Didier splitters have not been made in over 30 years so factory parts are no longer available. The engine and hydraulic components are standard off the shelf units except the cylinder which still can be repaired or replaced with a standard unit with minor modification.
I'm sure Shari (Wife n hubby) will be along shortly to provide a manual.

The search function for Didier splitters will give you plenty of reading.

After extensive 'field use' )) a couple of plates were added to the lift so smaller rounds didn't fall through the lift before splitting. A couple of hollow tubes near the wedge had to be closed off because they were accumulating wood debri. After a couple of years use the table needed a slight remodel, a couple of cross braces underneath it, to get rid of a slight vibration noise when in use. Other than those minor tweeks it's been a good design and I would never go back!

Hope you find an answer - I'm thinking mine could use a little fine tuning also.

Shari if no one knows I'll figure it out !!! And let you know

 

[JamesG]

Well I see no one knows about auto return. Hmmmm. Well I will look into this.... Keep you posted Shari!

 

[triptester]

If by auto return you are referring to the detent on the return stroke. Some valves are equipped with a adjustment screw while most others are factory set. The detent usually consist of one or more spring loaded steel balls that ride in and out of a shallow groove in the end of the spool. Problems can start when the groove gets worn , a ball flat spots , the spring gets weak or broken.
The first thing to try is remove the valve handle and rotate the spool 1/2 turn , reconnect the handle this will . This allows the ball to move in a new area that isn't worn.

 

[JamesG]

When I saying auto return. I am referring to if you hit the the handle for ram to retract.... Do these splitters automatically retract without holding the handle ? Or was that an option that some have and some don't ?

Tap it back and it should retract w/o holding the handle.

Mine used to work well, now it's getting lazy. I'll try what Triptester suggests.

 

[JamesG]

Yea. Mine doesn't work at all. I will look at it this week Shari thanks.
