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.
Machine Use And Care
Never operate the machine without good
visibility or light.
Never attempt to split wood across the grain.
The log splitter was not designed for cross-
grain splitting.
Always block the front and back of both
wheels to prevent unintended movement.
Hold the bark side of the logs when loading or
positioning, never the ends. Never place your
hands or any part of your body between a log
and any part of the log splitter.
Do not straddle or step over the log splitter
during operation.
Do not reach or bend over the log splitter to
pick up a log.
When stabilizing a log with the left hand,
remove your hand when the wedge contacts
the log or serious injury may occur.
Never attempt to split more than one log at a
time.
Do not attempt to load your log splitter when
the ram or wedge is in motion.
Use your hand to operate the control lever on
the valve. Do not use your foot, a rope, or any
extension device.
Do not move the log splitter while the engine
is running.
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 inflate 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.
