4. Assemble the taillights to the taillight brackets

mounts to the left taillight bracket, with the clear lens
facing down.

hole in the taillight brackets. Place the ring
terminal on the black wire over either mounting
bolt and secure with the lock washer and nut. See

length of the log splitter.

FRONT ball hitch mounting screws.

8. Pull the yellow wire through the hole in the right
side of the beam, and crimp it to the red wire com-
ing from the right taillight using the connector
provided. To make certain you have a good con-
nection, place the exposed end of the wire into the
connector. Squeeze the metal in the center of the
connector with pliers. Snap the cover shut to
prevent shorting of the connector to the frame of
the log splitter.
9. Pull the green wire through the hole in the left side
of the beam, and crimp it to the red wire coming
from the right taillight using the connector pro-
vided.
10. With wire cutters, cut 36" off the end of the brown
wire.
11. Push the 36" long brown wire through the connec-
tor so it is centered. Place the end of the brown
wire from the wire harness into the connector. See
figure 6.
NOTE: Examine the connector. You will notice that
one hole goes completely through the connector.
This is for the 36" long brown wire. The other hole
is a "blind" hole for the wire from the wire harness.
12. Squeeze the metal in the center of the connector
with pliers. Snap the cover shut to prevent short-
ing of the connector to the frame of the log splitter.
