Storing Your Log Splitter

Prepare your log splitter for storage at the end of the season or if the log splitter will not be used for 30 days or more.

WARNING: Never store machine with fuel in the fuel tank inside of building where fumes may reach an open flame or spark, or where ignition sources are present such as hot water and space heaters, furnaces, clothes dryers, stoves, electric motors, etc.

1. Clean the log splitter thoroughly.

NOTE: We do not recommend the use of pressure wash- ers or garden hose to clean your unit. They may cause damage to bearings or the engine. The use of water will result in shortened life and reduce serviceability.

2.Wipe unit with an oiled rag to prevent rust, especially on the wedge and the beam.

3.Drain fuel tank. Always drain fuel into approved container outdoors, away from open flame. Be sure that engine is cool before draining the fuel. Do not smoke while handling fuel.

4.Start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines and carburetor are empty.

5.Remove spark plug. Holding a rag over the cylinder hole, pour approximately 1/2 ounce (approximately one tablespoon) of engine oil into cylinder and crank slowly to distribute the oil.

6.Replace spark plug.

7.Do not store gasoline from one season to another.

8.Replace your gasoline can if it starts to rust. Rust and/or dirt in the gasoline will cause problems.

9.Store unit in a clean, dry area. Do not store next to corrosive materials, such as fertilizer.

NOTE: If storing in an unventilated or metal storage shed, be certain to rustproof the equipment by coating with a light oil or silicone.
