Two 9/16" Wrenches

Two 3/4" Wrenches

Installing the Road Towable Kit

1. Remove the existing Hitch from the Log Splitter by removing the large Bolt,

Washers and Locknut using a 15/16" Wrench and Ratchet with a 15/16"
Socket (Figure 39).

2. Attach the new Tow Hitch to the Frame with the two 1/2-13 x 4" Bolts and

Locknuts using two 3/4" Wrenches (Figure 40).

3. Position the Safety Chains at the holes in the Frame and secure with two 3/8-

16 x 1-1/2" Bolts, four Washers (one on Bolt side and one on Locknut side)
and Locknuts using two 9/16" Wrenches.

4. Place the Vehicle Connector end of the Wire Harness near the Tow Hitch and

let it extend about two feet past the Hitch. Place the 7/16" Tube Clamp
around the Harness and secure the Clamp to the Frame using two 7/16"
Wrenches (Figure 41).

Note: Make sure there is enough of the Harness past the Tube Clamp to be
connected to the tow vehicle.

5. Guide the other end of the Harness behind the Hitch and under the Frame.

Feed the Harness over the center of the Hydraulic Tank so it is at the Back of
the machine.

6. Remove a Bolt, Washer and Locknut at the center of the Frame on the Left

side with two 9/16" Wrenches (Figure 42). Place the large Tube Clamp over
the Harness and secure to the Frame with the Bolt, Washer and Locknut
from the kit. Tighten the Clamp Hardware with two 1/2" Wrenches.
