Preparation for Operation
Pre-Start Inspection
1. Make sure safety shields are in place and nuts & bolts are secure.
2. Check fuel supply. Fill the fuel tank no closer than 1 inch from
top of tank to provide space for expansion.
3. Inspect air lter. Clean or replace as needed.
4. Be sure spark plug wire is attached and is tightened securely.
5. Examine underneath and around engine for oil or fuel leaks.
6. Inspect fuel hoses for tightness and fuel seepage.
7. Look for signs of engine damage.
8. Remove excessive debris from muer area and recoil starter.
Filling with Oil and Gasoline Mixture
Mix unleaded gasoline with 2-cycle engine oil at a ratio of 40:1
in a separate container and add to the fuel tank before starting
the engine.
1. Place the cultivator on a level surface outdoors in a well-
ventilated, dry area, away from building air intakes.
2. Mix one gallon of 87+ octane gasoline with 3 fl. oz. of two-
stroke engine oil in an approved container. Slowly shake the
container to thoroughly mix the gasoline/2-cycle oil.
Do not run the engine with an improper gasoline/2-cycle oil
mixture. Running the engine with an improper mixture WILL
permanently damage the engine and void the warranty.
• Always fill the tank with the engine off and cool.
• Always check the fuel level before operation.
• Allow the engine to cool for at least two minutes before
removing the fuel cap.
• Do not fill with fuel indoors or near any source of combustion.
• Do not smoke when fueling or operating the cultivator.
• Do not overfill with fuel.
