7. Storing the Wood Splitter
After the season's use and the wood splitter is going to
be put away in storage, it should be thoroughly inspected
and prepared. Repair or replace any worn or damaged
components to prevent any unnecessary down time at the
start of next season. The wood splitter can have a long,
trouble-free life by following these steps:
IMPORTANT! Refer to the engine manufacturer's
manual for information specific to engine storage.
1.
Fully retract the cylinder ram.

run the engine outdoors for 10 minutes to be sure that
treated gasoline has replaced the untreated gasoline
in the carburetor.

Turn fuel valve OFF.
4.
Thoroughly wash the machine using a pressure
washer to remove all dirt, mud, debris, and residue.
5.
Inspect the cylinder ram, push block and wear plates
for damage or entangled material. Repair or replace
damaged parts. Remove all entangled material.
6.
Touch up all paint nicks and scratches to prevent
rusting.

If the splitter is to be stored for longer periods
(over 6 months), follow the engine manufacturers
recommendations for storage preparation.
8.
Store the machine in an area away from human
activity.

Select an area that is dry, level and free of debris to
park the wood splitter.
