30 DR  20-Ton WOOD SPLITTER Safety & Operating Instructions
End of Season & Storage
Note: Please refer to the engine owner manual for engine-specific procedures.
Change the oil.
If your DR 20-Ton WOOD SPLITTER will be idle for more than 30 days, we
recommend using a gas stabilizer. This will prevent sediment from gumming up the
carburetor. If there is dirt or moisture in the gas or tank, remove it by draining the
tank. Completely fill the tank with fresh, unleaded gas and add the appropriate
amount of stabilizer or gasoline additive. Run the engine for a short time to allow
the additive to circulate.
Remove the spark plug and pour about 1 ounce of motor oil into the cylinder hole.
Replace the plug and pull the recoil starter rope until you feel strong resistance.
This will coat the piston and seat the valves to prevent moisture buildup.
Clean/replace the air filter.
Clean dirt and debris from the cylinder head cooling fins, blower housing, debris
screen and muffler area of the engine.
WARNING! Before performing any maintenance procedure, stop the
engine and disconnect the spark plug wire.
