PUMP
TIRES
Recommended operating tire pressure is 12 to 15
p.s.i. (sidewall of tire may give tire manufacturer’s
recommended pressure). Maximum tire pressure
under any circumstances is 30 p.s.i. Equal tire pres­
sure should be maintained on all tires.
When installing a tire to the rim, be certain rim is clean
and free of rust. Lubricate both the tire and rim gener­
ously. Never inflate to over 30 p.s.i. to seat beads.
A
WARNING: Excessive pressure (over 30
p.s.i.) when seating beads may cause tire/
rim assembly to burst with force sufficient
to cause serious injury.
OFF-SEASON STORAGE
If the log splitter will not be used for a period longer
than 30 days, the following steps should be taken to
prepare the log splitter for storage.
1. Clean the engine and the entire log splitter
thoroughly.
2. Refer to the engine manual for correct engine
storage instructions. Follow instructions carefully.
3. Wipe unit with an oiled rag to prevent rust, espe­
cially wedge and beam.
NOTE: When storing any type of power equipment in
an unventilated or metal storage shed, care should be
taken to rustproof the equipment by coating with a light
oil or silicone.
4. The tongue can be removed and reattached in an
upright position as shown in figure 17 to take less
space when storing.
5. Store unit in a clean, dry area. Block the wheels.
Do not store next to corrosive materials, such as
fertilizer.
