Make sure tires are fully inflated and in good repair if you will be towing the splitter.

See tire sidewall for recommended tire pressure.

WARNING:

•Do not over-inflate tires. Serious injury can occur if tire explodes.

•When seating a bead after repair, do not exceed 30 PSI. Pressures higher than 30 PSI can cause the tire and wheel to rupture and explode.

Replace all guards and shields after servicing the log splitter.
