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 the 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: A yearly check-up by your local Sears service center is a good
way to ensure your log splitter will provide the maximum performance
next season.
LOG SPLITTER
1.
Clean the log splitter thoroughly.
2.
Wipe the log splitter with an oiled rag to prevent rust, especially
on the wedge and the beam.
ENGINE
NOTE: It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming in the
essential fuel system parts such as the carburetor, fuel filter, fuel hose
or tank during storage. Also, alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol or
using ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture which leads to separa-
tion and formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the
fuel system of an engine while in storage.
1.
Drain the fuel tank by running the engine until the fuel lines and
carburetor are empty. Be sure the engine is cool. Do not smoke
while handling the fuel.
NOTE: Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel
tank or permanent damage may occur. Use fresh fuel next season.
2.
Remove the spark plug, pour approximately 1⁄2 oz. of engine oil
into cylinder and crank it slowly to distribute the oil.
3.
Replace the spark plug.
OFF-SEASON STORAGE
FUEL STABILIZER
NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in minimizing the
formation of fuel gum deposits during storage.
Please follow the instructions below for storing your log splitter with
fuel and stabilizer in the engine:
1.
2.
NOTE: 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.

Add stabilizer to the gasoline in the fuel tank or storage container.
Always follow the mix ratio found on the stabilizer container.
Run the engine at least 10 minutes after adding stabilizer to allow
the stabilizer to reach the carburetor.
Do not store the gasoline from one season to another.
Replace your gasoline can if it starts to rust.
Store the log splitter in a clean, dry area. Do not store it next to
any corrosive materials, such as fertilizer.
Wipe the equipment with an oiled rag to prevent rust.
