WARNING
The log splitter is heavy. It can crush and cause serious injury if it rolls out of control or tips over.
Follow the instructions below for safely moving and towing the log splitter.
Moving the log splitter
1. Lock log lift in UP
position
Raise the log lift to the full upright (vertical) position.
Never move log splitter when the log lift is down because the log splitter will be unbalanced
and difficult to move, and the lifter is more likely to be damaged.
2. Engine off
IMPORTANT:
Make sure log splitter engine is off.
Never move the log splitter with its engine running.
3. Fuel valve off
Turn fuel valve off
to prevent carburetor flooding and reduce the chance of fuel
leakage.
4.
Lock leg/crank
down
Crank the jack all the way down so that it is bearing the tongue weight of the trailer
and the jack's wheel can be used to roll the splitter. (
After the weight of the splitter is
shifted from the leg to the jack, the leg can either be locked in the up position or left down.)
