2. Drain oil from the suction line tube.

STORAGE
Follow the instructions below for storing your log splitter between uses.
1. Retract the wedge completely to keep the rod protected from corrosion.
2. Allow the machine to cool 5 minutes before storing.
3. Clear the debris from the beam, wedge, and end plate. Use a damp cloth to clear
exterior surfaces of the engine and log splitter. Use a soft bristle brush to remove ex-
cess dirt and oil. Use an air compressor (25 PSI) to clear dirt and small debris. Wipe
the beam, wedge, and all metal parts with an oil rag to prevent corrosion.
Never spray the engine or log splitter with a pressure washer. Water can
contaminate the fuel system and can enter the engine and damage the
engine.
4. Refer to the engine manual for proper engine storage instructions.
Gasoline can become stale when stored over 30 days. Stale fuel can cause
acid and gum deposits that form in the fuel system or on carburetor parts.
For engine fuel that is stored less than 30 days, add a fuel stabilizer to keep
the fuel fresh. Turn the fuel valve lever to the off position. If fuel is stored
over 30 days, then drain the fuel tank as stated in the engine manual.
Always drain fuel from the tank in an outdoor, well-ventilated area.
Stay away from sources of heat, flame, or sparks while handling fuel.
Clean up fuel spills immediately.
5. Store the log splitter in a location away from corrosive materials, sources of heat,
open flames, sparks, or pilot lights.
