Make sure the square shoulder of the bolts is pushed through
the slotted holes in the wheel bracket. Tighten the wing nuts
(Fig. 3).
NOTE:
Do not over-tighten
the wing nuts. Loosen the wing nuts to
adjust wheel height.
ADJUSTING
TINE DEPTH
Tine adjustment will vary depending on the type of soil being
cultivated and how it will be used. Generally, adjusting the tines to
break the soil 4 to 6 inches is recommended
for most gardens.
Adjust the tines as follows:
1.
Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug wire.
2.
Loosen (do not remove) the two wing nuts on the tine guard

OIL AND FUEL MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
Old and/or improperly mixed fuel are the main reasons for the unit
not running properly. Be sure to use fresh, clean unleaded fuel.
Follow the instructions
carefully for the proper fuel/oil mixture.
Definition of Blended
Fuels
Today's fuels are often a blend of gasoline and oxygenates such as
ethanol, methanol, or MTBE (ether). Alcohol-blended fuel absorbs
water. As little as 1% water in the fuel can make fuel and oil separate.
It forms acids when stored. When using alcohol-blended fuel, use
fresh fuel (less than 60 days old).
Using Blended
Fuels
If you choose to use a blended fuel, or its use is unavoidable, follow
recommended
precautions:
• Always use the fresh fuel mix explained in your operator's manual
Always agitate the fuel mix before fueling the unit
Drain the tank and run the engine dry before storing the unit
Using Fuel Additives
The bottle of 2-cycle oil that came with your unit contains a fuel
additive which will help inhibit corrosion and minimize the formation of
gum deposits. It is recommended that you use our 2-cycle oil with this
unit. If unavailable, use a good 2-cycle oil de-signed for air-cooled
engines along with a fuel additive, such as STA-BIL® Gas Stabilizer or
an equivalent. Add 0.8 oz. (23 ml) of fuel additive per gallon of fuel
according to the instructions on the container. NEVER add fuel
additives directly to the unit's fuel tank.
_
AUTION:
For proper engine operation and maximum
reliability, pay strict attention to the oil and fuel mixing
instructions
on the 2-cycle oil container. Using improperly
mixed fuel can severely damage the engine.
Thoroughly mix the proper ratio of 2-cycle engine oil with unleaded
gasoline in a separate fuel can. Use a 40:1 fuel/oil ratio. Do not mix
them directly in the engine fuel tank. See the table below for specific
gas and oil mixing ratios.
NOTE:
One gallon (3.8 liters)
of unleaded gasoline
mixed with one 3.2
oz. (95 ml) bottle of 2-
cycle oil makes a 40:1
fuel/oil ratio.
NOTE:
Dispose of the old
fuel/oil mix in
accordance to
Federal, State and
Local regulations.

WARNING:
Gasoline is extremely flammable. Ignited vapors
may explode. Always stop the engine and allow it to cool before
filling the fuel tank. Do not smoke while filling the tank. Keep
sparks and open flames at a distance from the area.
,_
WARNING:
Remove fuel cap slowly to avoid injury from
fuel spray. Never operate the unit without the fuel cap
securely in place.
I _
I WARNING:
Add fuel in a clean, well ventilated outdoor
area. Wipe up any spilled fuel immediately. Avoid creating
a source of ignition for spilt fuel. Do not start the engine
until fuel vapors dissipate.
FILLING THE FUEL TANK
Make sure the cultivator is in
a horizontal position when
filling or adding fuel to the
tank (Fig. 5).
