TRANSPORTING
MOVING BY HANDS
Follow the instructions below for safely moving the log splitter.
1. Make sure the log splitter is locked in the horizontal position with latch
rod before moving.
2. Turn the fuel shut-off valve to the OFF position. This prevents carburetor
flooding and reduces the chance of fuel leakage. Refer to the engine
manual for fuel valve location.
3. Lock the support leg in the DOWN position before you move the log splitter.
4. Move the log splitter by hand to desired work site.
6. Tow the log splitter carefully to desired work site.
7. Lock the support leg in the DOWN position and disconnect from vehicle.
3. Make sure hitch is in good working order.
4. Check safety chains. Two safety chains must be used while towing.
Cross safety chains under the coupler, allowing only enough slack for
vehicle turns.
5. Pull out the lock lever and put the support leg in the UP position, then
release the lever and make sure the leg is secured.

2. Check the tires to ensure they are fully inflated to 30 PSI for proper
functionality.
TOWING BY VEHICLE
1. Turn the fuel shut-off valve off. This
prevents fuel from flooding the
engine.
Do not move the log splitter up or
down hills by hand.
Never transport cargo or wood on the
log splitter.
Do not overinflate tires. Serious injury
can occur if tire explodes.
Turn off the towing vehicle before
leaving the splitter unattended.
When seating a bead after repair, do
not exceed 30 PSI. Pressures higher
than 30 PSI can cause the tire and wheel to rupture and explode.
Be aware of the added length of the
splitter.
The log splitter is heavy. It can crush
and cause serious injury if it rolls out
of control or tips over.
Make sure the log splitter engine is
off. Never move the log splitter with
its engine running.
Never tow this log splitter over 45
mph. Faster speeds may result in loss
of control.
If towing on a public road, make
sure to comply with all local, state,
and federal towing requirements. It is the sole responsibility of
the purchaser to obtain licensing, trailer lights, safety chains, or
signage as needed to comply.
Never allow anyone to sit or ride on
the log splitter.
Never operate the log splitter while it
is attached to the vehicle.
Drive slowly and take extra caution
when traveling over rough terrain.
