4. Assemble the taillights to the taillight brackets
using the mounting screws, lock washers and nuts
packed with the lights.
NOTE:
The taillight with the clear lens on the bottom
mounts to the left taillight bracket, with the clear lens
facing down.
5. Thread the taillight wires through the large center
hole in the taillight brackets. Place the ring
terminal on the black wire over either mounting
bolt and secure with the lock washer and nut. See
figure 4.
6. Place the beam in the vertical position. Refer to
the log splitter’s owner’s manual for instructions.
Thread the end opposite the black plug on the
wire harness through the beam, running the
length of the log splitter.
7. Fasten the right terminal on the white wire to the
FRONT ball hitch mounting screws.
DO NOT REMOVE THE NUT HOLDING THE
BALL HITCH TO THE FRAME. Place the ring over
the threaded end of the bolt and secure with the
3/8-16 hex jam nut. See figure 5.
8. Pull the yellow wire through the hole in the right
side of the beam, and crimp it to the red wire com-
ing from the right taillight using the connector
provided. To make certain you have a good con-
nection, place the exposed end of the wire into the
connector. Squeeze the metal in the center of the
connector with pliers. Snap the cover shut to
prevent shorting of the connector to the frame of
the log splitter.
9. Pull the green wire through the hole in the left side
of the beam, and crimp it to the red wire coming
from the right taillight using the connector pro-
vided.
10. With wire cutters, cut 36" off the end of the brown
wire.
11. Push the 36" long brown wire through the connec-
tor so it is centered. Place the end of the brown
wire from the wire harness into the connector. See
figure 6.
NOTE:
Examine the connector. You will notice that
one hole goes completely through the connector.
This is for the 36" long brown wire. The other hole
is a “blind” hole for the wire from the wire harness.
12. Squeeze the metal in the center of the connector
with pliers. Snap the cover shut to prevent short-
ing of the connector to the frame of the log splitter.

13. Using the other two connectors, crimp the ends of
the brown wire to the brown wire from the tail-
lights.
14. Cover the wires from the beam to the taillights
with the plastic conduit. The conduit will pass
through the hole in the beam.
Do not
cut it in half.
