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.
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

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.
Never operate through the relief
valve for more than 5 seconds.
Do not overinflate tires. Serious
injury can occur if tire explodes.
Be aware of the added length of the
splitter.
Never tow this log splitter over 45
mph. Faster speeds may result in
loss of control.

do not exceed 30 PSI. Pressures
higher than 30 PSI can cause the
tire and wheel to rupture and
explode.
Never allow anyone to sit or ride on
the log splitter.
