TOWING SAFETY

Do not allow persons to ride on splitter. Do not carry any cargo or wood on your splitter. 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.

Always be careful while backing your splitter. You could jackknife your log splitter if not careful.

Before using splitter, disconnect it from tow vehicle. A log could easily be pushed forward into the vehicle.

See tire and wheel specifications for PSI while towing.

Be aware of the extra length of splitter while turning, parking, crossing intersections, and in all driving situations.
