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.
MOVING BY HANDS

moving the log splitter.
Make sure the log splitter is locked in the
horizontal position with latch rod before

Refer to the engine manual for fuel valve
location.
