Log Splitter Location
This log splitter must have at least five feet
of clearance from combustible material.
Leave at least three feet of clearance on all
sides of the log splitter to allow for adequate
cooling, maintenance and servicing. DO
NOT place the log splitter near vents or
intakes where engine exhaust fumes could
be drawn into occupied or confined spaces.
Carefully consider wind and air currents
when positioning log splitter.

level surface.
