STORAGE
4. Refer to the engine manual for proper engine storage instructions.
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 excess 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.
5. Store the log splitter in a location away from corrosive materials, sources
of heat, open flames, sparks, or pilot lights.
6. Store gasoline in a cool, dry place in a UL listed tightly sealed container.
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.
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.
Never store the log splitter inside
where there is a source of heat or
an open flame, spark, or pilot light, such as a water heater, space
heater, furnace, clothes dryer, or other gas appliance. EVEN IF the
log splitter's fuel tank is empty, residual gasoline vapors could
ignite.
Never store the log splitter near fertilizer or any other corrosive
material.
Gasoline vapors can ignite if they
collect inside an enclosure and
explosion can result.
