TRANSPORTING
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.
Do not overinflate tires. Serious injury can occur if
tire explodes.
Never tow this log splitter over 45 mph. Faster
speeds may result in loss of control.
Drive slowly and take extra caution when traveling
over rough terrain.
Turn off the towing vehicle before leaving the splitter
unattended.
Never operate the log splitter while it is attached to
the vehicle.
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.
Do not move the log splitter up or down hills by hand.
Never allow anyone to sit or ride on the log splitter.
Be aware of the added length of the splitter.
Never transport cargo or wood on the log splitter.
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.
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 ooding 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. Lower the machine down and lock the tow coupler onto the
hitch ball. 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 the U-shaped lock pin away from the machine. Lift the
machine with the other hand by the tow bar. Rotate the
U-shaped lock pin to lift the support leg to the horizontal
position. Release to lock in the support leg horizontally.
2. Check the tires to ensure they are fully inated to 30 PSI for
proper functionality.
