6.   Store gasoline in a cool, dry place in a UL 

listed tightly sealed container.

5.   Store the log splitter in a location away from 

corrosive materials, sources of heat, open 
flames, sparks, or pilot lights.

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 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. 

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.

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.

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 vapors can ignite if they 
collect inside an enclosure and 
explosion can result.
