When the engine is running and the control

GPM through the control valve and back into the
hydraulic tank.

4. Make sure tow ball is fully seated inside
coupler.
5. Push down on coupler lock lever until it pulls
the lock tongue up against underside of tow
ball and locks tow ball and coupler together.
6. Secure safety chains (see Figure 34) to
tow vehicle and double-check all your
connections.
7. Close fuel shutoff valve (see Figure 35) on
engine carburetor to prevent fuel leakage.
9. Tow log splitter responsibly! Do not tow it
while engine is operating, and take pre-
cautions to make sure machine will not
tip over during towing, causing a fuel leak
and possible fire.

8. Make sure engine gas cap (see Figure 35) is
secure and there are no tools or logs still on
log splitter. Never allow any riders or cargo
on log splitter while towing.
When you move the control lever to the forward
position, the control valve diverts hydraulic fluid
up to 3600 PSI to one side of the splitter piston,
moving the splitting wedge into the log and split-
ting the log in half. The maximum distance of the
wedge stroke is 23
1
⁄
8
".
When you move the control lever to the full reverse
position, the lever locks in retract mode, and the
control valve diverts the hydraulic fluid to the other
side of the splitter piston. As a result, both of your
hands are free to load the next log for splitting.
When the ram fully retracts, the control lever
automatically moves back to neutral, and the log
splitter is ready to split another log.
