Store wood splitters in a dry, well-ventilated area or cover them with a waterproof tarp to prevent rust and damage. Regularly drain hydraulic fluid to prevent freezing and consider storing it in a heated environment. Secure the equipment with chains or straps to prevent movement.
Preparation for Off-Season Storage
Before storing a wood splitter, ensure the equipment is clean and free of debris. Drain the hydraulic fluid to prevent freezing and consider adding a biocide to prevent bacterial growth. Store the fluid in a sealed container to prevent contamination.
Protecting the Equipment from the Elements
Store the wood splitter in a dry, well-ventilated area to prevent rust and corrosion. If storing outdoors, use a waterproof tarp or cover to protect the equipment from the elements. For indoor storage, consider a climate-controlled environment to maintain a consistent temperature.
Securing the Equipment
Use chains or straps to secure the wood splitter and prevent movement during storage. This will also help prevent damage to the surrounding area. Consider storing the equipment in a designated area with a solid floor to prevent damage from shifting or sliding.
