Maximum Speed Limit — 35 mph
Your log splitter is built on a solid, unsuspended axle. To prevent damage or
possible loss of vehicle control, use extreme caution when towing and do not
exceed a vehicle speed of 35 mph, especially when driving on a bumpy road.
1
. Position the hitch coupler of the log splitter
over or onto the tow vehicle’s tow ball. In
some cases, the hitch coupler may not
totally engage with the tow ball without
raising the jack leg assembly. Pull the
latch assembly on the hitch coupler up and
into the open position.
2
. Release the latch assembly on the hitch
coupler and lock the hitch coupler onto the
tow ball. Attach the towing safety chains to
the tow vehicle.
3
. Raise the front leg to the towing position
by pulling the spring pin. If not already
secure, make sure the hitch coupler is
properly and securely attached to the tow
ball.
WARNING
6
. Check the fluid level in the hydraulic tank and add oil as needed.
Be careful not to spill fuel when filling the engine. If fuel should spill,
quickly wipe off and allow the excess fuel to evaporate before continu-
ing. Fuel and fuel vapors are highly flammable and can cause personal
injury or even death when ignited.
Important Notice
If your log splitter is equipped with a factory installed engine, do not mix oil
with the gasoline. Using mixed oil/gasoline in a four cycle engine can cause
engine damage.
7
. Fill the engine’s fuel tank with fresh, clean, lead-free automotive gasoline.
8
. Attach the spark plug wire and start the engine per the manufacturer’s instructions.
9
. With the engine running, push the valve control handle to the retract position and
retract the cylinder piston. The cylinder valve will automatically stop the cylinder from
retracting when it reaches the end of its stroke. Cycle the log splitter several times.
10
. Again, check the fluid level in the hydraulic tank and add oil as needed. Replace
and tighten the fill cap.
11
. Your log splitter is now ready to use.
