Towing
1. Pull the latch assembly on the tow hitch assembly up
and into the open position. Position the hitch coupler
of the WOOD SPLITTER over and onto the tow
vehicle’s tow ball (must be a 2" tow ball) (Figure 47).
In some cases, the hitch coupler may not totally
engage with the tow ball without raising the front leg
weldment (see step 3).
2. Close the latch assembly on the tow hitch assembly to
lock the tow hitch assembly onto the tow ball (Figure
48). Attach the towing safety chains to the tow vehicle
ensuring there is enough slack for turning.
3. Raise the front leg to the towing position by pulling
the spring pin (Figure 49). If not already secure, make
sure the hitch coupler is properly and securely
attached to the tow ball.
