Removing the Supports
CAUTION:
Do not attempt to move the log splitter off
of the crate base until after the crate supports and nylon
straps have been removed.

Cut the two nylon straps securing the log splitter to the crate, one
on each side of the reservoir tank, near each fender. There are also
two supports found on the log splitter crate, one beneath the
engine and one beneath the beam. Carefully cut and discard each
tie-strap and remove and discard each support. See Figure 4-6.

NOTE:
The jack stand will support the weight of the log splitter with the
supports removed.
