3. Move rear stabilizer to transport position

and lock in place

(see Rear Stabilizer

(Item 12) on page 14).

4. Attach log splitter hitch to tow vehicle

with class 1 or higher receiver and 2-in.

ball. Adjust hitch coupler to ensure lock

lever fully locks onto ball with no excess

movement. Install a locking pin or lock

through the lock lever.

5. Move front stand to transport position

and lock in place

(see Front Stand (Item

6) on page 14)

NOTICE: Tow vehicles with low ball heights

will require the stand to be stored before

attaching the hitch coupler to the ball.

6. Cross unit safety chains under the

coupler and attach to tow vehicle.

Check Tire Pressure

See SPECIFICATIONS on page 22 for tire

pressure.

OPERATION

Work Site

Set up log splitter in an area that provides:

• a dry level surface.

• good footing that is free of debris or

other tripping hazards.

• sufficient clearance for engine exhaust

to not blow directly on combustible

material.

Disconnect the log splitter from the tow

vehicle before operating. If splitting logs in the

horizontal position, move rear stabilizer to

work position

(see Rear Stabilizer (Item 12)

on page 14). Chock the wheels to prevent

movement during operation.

Warm Up Unit

When using the unit in temperatures of 68°

F (20° C) or lower, the hydraulic system

should be cycled before splitting logs. This

allows the cool hydraulic oil in the cylinder to

be circulated before placing a load on the

hydraulic system.

1. Start the engine and allow it warm up

(see Start Engine on page 15).

2. Cycle the cylinder through three or four

full extension/retraction cycles.

3. Proceed with splitting logs.

IMPORTANT: Always split logs with engine

set at Fast position.

CAUTION: Avoid damage or

injury! Use maximum caution

when towing log splitter:

• DO NOT exceed 45 mph

(72.4 kph).

• Obey all applicable local,

state and federal laws

regarding towing.

• DO NOT carry passengers,

cargo or logs on the towed

unit.

• Allow for the extra length of

the unit when turning,

parking, crossing

intersections and in all driving

situations.

• Ensure that stabilizers are

locked in the transport

position and that the beam is

locked before moving unit.

• Drive slowly and take extra

caution over rough terrain.

CAUTION: Avoid injury!

Explosive separation of tire and

rim parts is possible when they

are serviced incorrectly:

• Do not attempt to mount a

tire without the proper

equipment and experience to

perform the job.

• Do not inflate the tires above

the recommended pressure.

• Do not weld or heat a wheel

and tire assembly. Heat can

cause an increase in air

pressure resulting in an

explosion. Welding can

structurally weaken or

deform the wheel.

• Do not stand in front or over

the tire assembly when

inflating. Use a clip-on chuck

and extension hose long

enough to allow you to stand

to one side.
