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.
2. Thoroughly wash the machine using a pressure washer to
remove all dirt, mud, debris, and residue.
3. Inspect the wedge, cylinder ram, push block and wear
plates for damage or entangled material. Repair or replace
damaged parts. Remove all entangled material.
4. Touch up all paint nicks and scratches to prevent rusting.
5. Turn fuel valve OFF. Add fuel stabilizer to the fuel tank.
6. If the splitter is to be stored for longer periods
(over 6 months), follow the engine manufacturer's
recommendations for storage preparation.
7. Store the machine in an area away from human activity.
8. Select an area that is dry, level and free of debris to park the
wood splitter.
9. If the wood splitter is not stored inside a building, cover
with a waterproof tarp. Tie securely in place.
10. Do not allow children to play on or around the stored
machine.
