Towing:
Review towing safety instructions in your vehicle manual.
Make sure tires are fully inflated and in good repair.
WARNING:
• Do not over-inflate tires. Serious injury can occur if tire explodes.
• 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.
Make sure battery is disconnected and rubber caps/plugs are installed on
terminals before towing the log splitter.

Attach log splitter to vehicle hitch
1. Attach log splitter's coupler to a class 2 or higher hitch with 2" ball (only).
