Retract the wedge completely to keep the rod protected from corrosion. Allow the machine to cool 5 minutes before storing.

WARNING: A hot engine can be a fire hazard.

Wipe the beam and wedge with an oily rag to prevent corrosion. Refer to the engine manual for proper engine storage instructions.

CAUTION: Gasoline will oxidize and deteriorate in storage. Old gasoline in the engine will cause hard starting and leave gum deposits that can clog the fuel systems. Deterioration problems may occur within a few months, or even less if gasoline was not fresh when you filled the tank.

Short-Term Storage:

1.Consider adding a fuel stabilizer to extend fuel storage life.

2.Leave the fuel valve lever in the OFF position to reduce the possibility of fuel leakage.

Long-Term Storage: (between infrequent uses and at end of season)

Drain the fuel tank and carburetor as instructed in the engine owner’s manual.

WARNING: Never store log splitter inside where there is a source of heat or an open flame, spark or pilot light – such as water heaters, space heaters,

furnaces, clothes dryers, or other gas appliances – EVEN IF the log splitter’s gas tank is empty, residual gasoline vapors could ignite.
