5. Never allow children to climb on or  
play near Log Splitter even when not  
in use.  
Follow engine precautions and in-  
structions in the included engine  
instruction manual.  
6. People with pacemakers should

using an engine indoors  
can kill you in  
Minutes.  
7. Use only accessories that are recom-  
mended by Harbor Freight Tools for  
your model. Accessories that may be  
suitable for one piece of equipment  
may become hazardous when used  
on another piece of equipment.  
Engine exhaust contains carbon  
monoxide. This is a poison you  
cannot see or smell.  
8. Operate the Log Splitter, with the  
wheels blocked, on a dry, level sur-  
face capable of supporting the com-  
bined weight of the Log Splitter and  
logs.  
NEVER use inside a home or garage,  
EVEN IF doors and windows are  
open.  
9. Do not tow the Log Splitter on roads  
or highways. This product is not  
D.O.T. compliant, and is not road  
legal.  
10. Always make sure the hitch coupler  
is securely fixed to the vehicle before  
moving it. If the Coupler is not se-  
cured properly, the link could come  
loose while the trailer is in motion,  
possibly causing property damage,  
Only use OUTSIDE and far away  
from windows, doors, and vents.  
2. Keep children away from the equip-  
ment, especially while it is operating.

clothing or jewelry. Keep hair, cloth-  
ing and gloves away from moving  
parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long  
hair can be caught in moving parts.  
11. Never place hands or feet between  
the log and splitter wedge, or  
between the log and the ram during  
the forward or reverse stroke.  
21. Parts, especially exhaust system  
components, get very hot during use.  
Stay clear of hot parts.  
12. Never place your hands or body near  
a hydraulic fluid leak. High-pressure  
fluid can be forced under the skin  
resulting in serious injury.  
22. Do not cover the engine or equipment  
during operation.  
13. Never split a log that contains any  
foreign materials (nails, for example).  
23. Keep the equipment, engine, and sur-  
rounding area clean at all times.  
14. Do not use on logs longer than 25” or 24. Use the equipment, accessories, etc.,  
with a diameter greater than 12”.  
in accordance with these instructions  
and in the manner intended for the  
particular type of equipment, taking  
into account the working conditions  
and the work to be performed. Use  
of the equipment for operations differ-  
ent from those intended could result  
in a hazardous situation.  
15. Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles,  
NIOSH-approved dust mask/respira-  
tor under a full face shield, heavy-du-  
ty work gloves, steel-toe work boots  
and hearing protection during use.

please note: This item is extremely  
difficult to assemble without heavy  
equipment to lift and secure parts  
in place on the item. The base and  
main beam junction of the product  
require the alignment of holes  
with the four bolts and nuts used  
to secure the two pieces together  
during operation of the item. Do not  
assemble without assistance. If you  
do not feel entirely confident about  
your ability to assemble the Log  
Splitter correctly, contact a qualified  
service professional to assemble the  
Log Splitter.

transporting the log splitter:  
1. Check the tire pressure. PSI should  
be at 60 for the Wheels before travel-  
ing.  
2. Connect the Log Splitter to a 2” hitch  
ball (not included) on the vehicle.  
Use the chains to secure the Log  
Splitter to the towing vehicle. The  
hitch coupler must be properly se-  
cured to the hitch ball of the towing  
vehicle. After attachment, pull up  
on the hitch coupler to make sure  
that the hitch ball fits snugly on the  
hitch coupler. There can be no play  
between the hitch ball and the hitch  
coupler. Follow all safety warnings  
in the manufacturer vehicle’s owners  
manual.  
6. Push the LEFT control lever forward  
to engage the hydraulic ram and split  
the log. Continue to hold the lever  
forward until the log is split - See  
figure G.  
to prevent  
serious injury:  
keep hands and feet clear of  
the ram of the log splitter  
during this entire procedure,  
including when the ram is  
withdrawing to the original  
position.  
to prevent  
serious injury:  
if the coupler is not secured  
properly, the log splitter  
could come loose while the  
vehicle is in motion causing  
property damage, serious  
personal injury or death.  
to prevent  
serious injury:  
keep spectators clear of the

being split, projectiles can fly  
in any direction.
