TOWING SAFETY
Check all local and state regulations regarding towing, licensing,
and lights before towing your log splitter.
Before towing the log splitter, check tires for excessive wear, cuts,
or damage. Check for proper tire inflation. Add air as required.
Do not over inate tires. Serious injury can result if tires explode.
Check before towing to make sure the log splitter is correctly and
securely attached to the towing vehicle and the safety chains are
secured to the hitch or bumper of the vehicle with enough slack
to allow turning. Always use a class I, 2" ball with this log splitter.
Make sure the coupler is tight before towing and after towing 50 miles.
Never transport cargo on the log splitter.
Never allow anyone to ride or sit on the log splitter.
Always stop the engine, lock the beam in the horizontal position,
and close the fuel shut-off valve when transporting the unit.
Use extra care when towing the log splitter. Do not exceed 45
mph. Towing the log splitter at a speed greater than 45 mph could
result in loss of control, damage to the equipment, serious injury,
or death.
Avoid sharp turns and steep angles. Avoid large holes or ditches
when towing the equipment. Always be careful when backing
up with your log splitter when towing; it could jackknife. Use
caution when backing up; a spotter outside the vehicle is highly
recommended. Disconnect the log splitter from the towing
vehicle before operating it.
