Chapter 6: Class II Receiver Mount Accessory

The Receiver Mount Accessory mounts to your 8-Ton DR
Wood Splitter so that it can be installed on a vehicle with a
Class II 2" x 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver. This is a convenient
and efficient way to transport your Wood Splitter to the job
site for two reasons:

a. It provides a handy operating position from the

back of your vehicle.

b. It allows more space in your vehicle for hauling

split firewood.

1. Position your Wood Splitter so you can easily access

the underside of the engine mount.

2. Unpack all parts from the shipping box and place the

Receiver Attachment Bracket in the orientation shown
(Figure 37). (the bracket will be mounted under the
frame of the Wood Splitter using the same bolts that
hold the engine in place.)

3. Reach under the frame of your Wood Splitter and use

a 1/2" wrench to remove the Hex Nuts, Lock Washers,
and Flat Washers from the Engine Mount Bolts. Leave
the Bolts in place.

4. Position the Receiver Attachment Bracket under the

frame. Align the holes in the Bracket over the ends of
the exposed Engine Mount Bolts and install Flat
Washers, Lock Washers, and Hex Nuts. Tighten
securely.

5. Make sure you remove the Clip and Clevis Pin from

the adjustable Receiver Bar (Figure 38), then insert the

long straight end

of the Bar into the Bracket (Figure

39).

NOTE: The end of the Receiver Bar should just go through the

other side of the Receiver Attachment Bracket to have
room to install the Clevis Pin and Clip.

6. Insert Clevis Pin and Clip into the end of the Receiver

Bar.

7. Screw the L-Shaped Tensioning Bolt into the threaded

hole in the Receiver Attachment Bracket and tighten
by hand.
