STORAGE
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.
If the log splitter is to be stored for 1 month or more, drain the fuel from the engine. If left standing
for a long period, unleaded fuel oxidises which can subsequently cause probles starting the engine.
Additives are available for petrol that can prevent this.
Store indoors or protected area during severe weather and winter months.
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.
