6.10 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:
1. Place the splitter in the horizontal configuration. 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, anvil 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. 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. Set it down on wood blocking.
6. If the wood splitter is not stored inside a building, cover
with a waterproof tarp. Tie securely in place.
7. Do not allow children to play on or around the stored
machine.
