Before performing this kit installation, stop the engine, wait five minutes to
allow all parts to cool. Disconnect the spark plug wire, keeping it away from
the spark plug. Disconnect the Battery Terminals (Electric start only).
Making sure the Splitter is securely attached to the vehicle is the responsibility of the owner/operator. Failure to securely attach
the Log Splitter can cause loss of control of the vehicle or the Log Splitter being separated from the towing vehicle, resulting in
serious injury or death. If required, use accessory lights and devices when transporting on a road or highway to warn operators of
other vehicles. Check your local government regulations. Safety Chains must always be used when towing.
