IMPORTANT: 

If a part needs replacement, only use parts that meet the manufacturer’s specifications. Replacement 

parts that do not meet specifications may result in a safety hazard or poor operations. 

 

 
 
 
 
 

WARNING 

Improper storage of the log splitter may void your warranty. 

 
 

STORAGE 

 

Retract the wedge completely (hitch end) to keep the rod protected from corrosion. 

 

Allow the machine to cool for at least five minutes before storing. 

WARNING:

 A hot engine can 

be a fire hazard. 

 

Before storing make sure the log splitter is clean and dry for years of trouble free service. 

 

Lightly lubricate all log splitter surfaces and moving parts to prevent rust. 

 

Store indoors or protected area during severe weather and winter months away from corrosive 
material, sources of heat, open flames, sparks or pilot lights. 

 

Refer to the engine manual for proper engine storage. 

 

Short-Term Engine Storage

 

Consider adding a fuel stabilizer to extend fuel storage life. 

 

Turn the fuel valve lever to the OFF position. 

 

Long-Term Engine Storage:

   

 

Add a fuel stabilizer to extend fuel storage life. 

 

Turn the fuel valve lever to the OFF position. 

 

For longer periods of storage drain the  fuel tank and carburetor as instructed in the engine 

owner’s manual.   

 

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 system. Deterioration problems may occur within a few 
months or less. 

 

WARNING 

Always drain fuel from tank in outdoors in a well ventilated area. 

Always stay away from sources of heat, flame, or sparks while handling fuel. 

Clean up fuel spills/splashes immediately.
