Starting a flooded engine
1. If the end of the spark plug is wet, the engine may be flooded. Make sure the switch is in the
stop position, disconnect spark plug wire and remove plug. Use a paper towel or a clean rag
to dry the spark plug, then, with the spark.
Plug out of the engine, pull the starter cord several times. Shake the fuel out of the inside of the
plug and air dry. Next, replace the spark plug. Use the wrench to tighten it and replace the cap.
Next, put the switch in the start position and pull the choke button out. Pull the starter cord three
or four times until the engine coughs or Sputters. Open the choke (push the choke button in)
and pull the cord a few times. The engine should start and run.
2. If the end of the spark plug is dry, check to see if the fuel line is blocked. The fuel line runs from
the fuel tank to the carburetor. Pull it off at the carburetor end. Fuel should drip slowly from the
line. Wipe off any excess or spilled fuel.
If fuel does not drip from the line, check the line for any bends or pinches . Kinks in the line restrict
the flow of the fuel to the engine . just straighten out the line. Reconnect. Then follow the normal
starting procedure . If fuel drips too freely , the line may be disconnected from the fuel filter. You
will find the fuel filter inside the fuel tank. Just re-attach the line to the filter , and put the filter back
in the tank. Then follow the normal starting procedure.
MAKE SURE THE START / SPORT SWITCH IS IN THE STOP POSITION.
KEEP PLUG WIRE AWAY FROM ENGINE TO AVOID UNINTENTIONAL SPARK.

Tilling
Now you are ready to use your Tiller /cultivator.
If you have seen other tiller / cultivators, your tiller / cultivator may surprise you.
It tills best when you pull it backward! You see, when you pull your tiller / cultivator backward, you
give extra resistance to the tines, so they dig deeper. What is more when you go backward, you
erase your footprints, so your soil stays light and fluffy, with other Tiller / cultivator, by contrast, you
walk right over the soil you have just cultivated, packing it down, so it is less plantable. Place your
tiller / cultivator at the head of the row or area you want to cultivate .Start it up. Then use an easy
rocking motion. First, pull your tiller /cultivator backward. Then let it move forward just a little bit,
Then pull it back again. This will help you cultivate deeper. Keep repeating these steps until you've
tilled and entire row. Start again on the next row. It's much like running a vacuum cleaner!
