SAFETY PRECAUTIONS This Safety Alert Symbol indicates important messages in this manual. When you see this symbol, carefully read the message that follows and be alert to the possibility of personal injury. Read this manual completely. This machine can amputate hands, feet, and throw objects. Failure to observe the following safety instructions could result in serious injury or death.
Fluid escaping from a very small hole can be almost invisible. Do not check for leaks with your hand. Escaping fluid under pressure can have sufficient force to penetrate skin, causing serious personal injury. Leaks can be located by passing a piece of cardboard or wood over the suspected leak and looking for discoloration. IF injured by escaping fluid, see a doctor at once. Serious infection or reaction can develop if proper medical treatment is not administered immediately.

It may fall off and endanger vehicles that are following you. • Be sure jack stand is in the travel position and coupling secure. This must also be retracted so not to interfere while towing. Retract kickstand by removing pin, rotating up, and replacing pin. • Never exceed 45 MPH while towing your splitter. Be extra cautious when traveling over rough terrain, especially over railroad tracks.
