FOR BEST PERFORMANCE
• Ensure that logs to be split are cut as
square as possible.
• Split dry, cured logs. Wet or recently cut
logs will be more difficult to split.
• Split logs with straight grain. Logs with
knots or twisted or irregular grain patterns
will be more difficult to split.
• Move split logs as needed to keep operator
zone free of tripping hazards.
• When splitting logs that are not square
place the longest portion of the log closest
to the beam and the most square end
against the splitter wedge.
CAUTION: Jack stand must be
locked in the transport position
before towing the unit.
CAUTION: Avoid damage or
injury! Use maximum caution
when towing log splitter:
• DO NOT exceed 72.4 kph (45
mph).
• Obey all applicable local, state
and federal laws regarding
towing.
• DO NOT carry passengers,
cargo or logs on the towed unit.
• Allow for the extra length of the
unit when turning, parking,
crossing intersections and in all
driving situations.
• Ensure that stabilizers are
locked in the transport position
and that the beam is locked
before moving unit.
• Drive slowly and take extra
caution over rough terrain.
