I was in the process of spitting a big narley piece of wood and the spitter broke threw the piece, when I went to retract the piston it only returned a couple inches and then all of a sudden the splitter extended the piston completely and will not retract. Any idea what I did to it?

if cyl is now extended,,,loosen hose fitting at extended end of cyl,,,,move lever to the direction that would extend it more,,,if oil comes out hard,,,it is bypassing.
If not bypassing, probly in the valve. Pretty much there is a cyl,valve and pump that can break,,,everything else is just plumbing.

It could be the cylinder. I had one act loke that before. The nut came off the rod and the packing came off the rod and it would extend out in both directions of the lever
