OPERATION 

 

TOWING 
This unit should not be towed on any street, highway, or public road without checking the existing 
federal, local, and state laws.  Any licensing or modifications such as taillights, etc., need to comply 
with existing federal, local, or state vehicle requirements is the sole responsibility of the purchaser.  
Obey all regulations when towing on public roads and highways.  See also TOWING SAFETY
 
Be sure you are using the correct ball hitch size for the hitch coupler on the log splitter (2” ball).  
Be sure safety chains are properly connected.  Leave enough slack in chains for turning.  See 
TOWING SAFETY to read warnings about coupling. 
 
Make sure beam attachment is locked in the horizontal position.  NEVER tow splitter in the vertical 
position. 
 
Turn the fuel shut-off valve OFF to prevent flooding of the engine while traveling. 
 
TOWING AT NIGHT 
The requirements for taillights are based on States regulations.  Some states allow towing at night 
as long as the towed equipment does not visibly impair the tow vehicle taillights.  This is based on 
a state, to state requirements.  The customer is responsible for meeting the states requirements. 
 
If a “Statement of Origin” is required in your state, see your local dealer to receive one. 
 
OPERATION 

1.  Set up the log splitter in a clear, level area and block the wheels.  The suction port on the 

tank should always be on the lower side of the log splitter. 

2.  Place a log on the beam, against the foot plate.  Make sure the log is securely on the foot 

plate and up against the beam. 

3.  Depress the valve lever so that the cylinder will drive the wedge into the log.  Extend the 

cylinder until the log splits or to the end of its stroke.  If the log has not completely split 
after the cylinder has reached the end of its extension, retract the cylinder.  NOTE:   

Leaving the valve in the “actuate” position at the end of the stroke may damage the 
pump. 

 
OPERATING POSITIONS 
WARNING: THE LOG SPLITTER BEAM IS HEAVY AND CAN PINCH HANDS/FINGERS IF 
CARE IS NOT TAKEN. 
 
STANDARD HORIZONTAL TO VERTICAL 
The Standard Splitter has 2 operating positions:  Horizontal, Vertical. 
Remove pin from below beam.  Do not remove bolt and nut.  Rotate beam into vertical position and 
pin so beam cannot fall into horizontal position. 
DO NOT TOW IN VERTICAL POSITION! 
 
 
IMPORTANT:  When operating splitter in wooded areas, obtain a spark arrestor for the exhaust 
system.  See your local engine dealer. 
 
When preparing logs, cut ends as square as possible.  The maximum length of any logs should be 
only 24”.
