Prepare
your
log splitter
for storage
at the end of the
season
or if the log splitter
will not be used
for 30 days
or more.
WARNING: Never store machine with fuel
in the fuel tank inside of building where
fumes may reach an open flame or spark
or where
ignition sources
are present
such as hot water and space heaters,
furnaces, clothes dyers, stoves, electric
motors, etc.
NOTE:
Yearly
check-up
by
your
local
Sears
service
center
is a good
way
to ensure
your
log
spfitter
will
provide
maxJfT_um
performance
next
season.
Log Splitter
Clean the log splitter thoroughly.
Wipe unit with an oiled rag to prevent
rust,
especially
on the wedge
and the beam.
Engine
IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent
gum deposits
from forming
in essential
fuel system
parts such as
carburetor,
fuel filter, fuel hose, or tank du ring
storage.
Also, alcohol
blended
fuels (called
gasohol
or
using ethanol
or methanol)
can attract moisture
which
leads to separation
and formation
of acids during
storage.
Acidic gas can damage
the fuel system
of an
engine
while in storage.
Drain the fuel tank. Always
drain fuel into
approved
container
outdoors
away from open
flame. Be sure the engine
is cool. Do not smoke
while handling
the fuel.
Start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines
and carburetor
are empty.
Never use engine or carburetor
cleaner
products
in the fuel tank or permanent
damage
may
occur. Use fresh fuel next season.
Remove spark plug, pour approximately
1/2 oz.
of engine oil into cylinder
and crank slowly to
distribute
oil.
Replace
spark plug.
NOTE:
Fuel stabilizer
is an acceptable
alternative
in
minimizing
for formation
of fuel gum deposits
during
storage.
Please follow the instructions below for storing your
log splitter with fuel and stabilizer
in the engine.
Add stabilizer
to gasoline
in fuel tank or storage
container.
Always
follow the mix ratio found on stabilizer
container.
Run engine at least 10 minutes
after adding
stabilizer
to allow the stabilizer
to reach the
carburetor.
Do not drain the gas tank and carburetor
if using
fuel stabilizer.
Drain all the oil from the
crankcase
(this should
be done after the engine
has been operated
and is still warm) and refill the
crankcase
with fresh oil.
Other
Do not store gasoline from one season to
another.
Replace your gasoline can if it starts to rust.
Store unit in a clean, dry area. Do not store next
to corrosive materials, such as fertilizer.
Wipe equipment with an oiled rag to prevent rust.
