ASSEMBLY

WARNING:

Gasoline and its vapors are highly flammable and explo- sive. To prevent serious personal injury and property dam- age, handle it with care. Keep away from ignition sources, handle outdoors only, do not smoke while mixing gasoline and oil together; and wipe up spills immediately.

MIXING THE FUEL

See Figure 6.

The cultivator is powered by a two-stroke, air-cooled engine and requires a fuel mixture of gasoline and 2-cycle fuel oil.

NOTE: Always mix two-cycle engine oil like Ryobi’s Exact Mix Semi Synthetic Oil with gasoline before fueling the unit. Run- ning the cultivator on gasoline alone will ruin the engine.

Use a mixture of 50 parts unleaded regular gasoline and 1 part two-stroke engine oil (50:1). Use branded 87 octane (R+M+2) unleaded gasoline or gasohol (maximum 10% ethyl alcohol, or 15% MTBE, no methyl alcohol.)

NOTE: Always mix oil and gas in the proper proportions:

2.6ounces of oil to one gallon of unleaded gasoline. To mix the oil and fuel together for use:

Pour 1/2 gallon of gasoline into a clean gas can or other container approved for fuel storage. Do not mix the fuel and oil directly in the cultivator’s fuel tank.

Add 2.6 ounces of two-cycle engine oil to the gasoline mixture.

Add the remaining 1/2 gallon of gasoline.

Close the container holding the gas/oil mix and swirl the can to blend contents together.

NOTE: Do not mix more than you will use in a month, and shake the container to blend thoroughly before each use. Using an old fuel mixture can cause starting difficulty or engine damage.

ADDING FUEL TO CULTIVATOR

See Figure 7.

When adding fuel to the cultivator, make sure the unit is sit- ting on level ground and that the engine is not hot.

Fuel only with recommended 50:1 mixture of gasoline and oil as described in Mixing the Fuel.

To add fuel to the cultivator:

Clean area around fuel tank cap, if necessary.

Remove the fuel tank cap.

Insert a clean funnel into the fuel tank.

Slowly pour gasoline/oil mixture into fuel tank.

NOTE: Fill tank no higher than 1/2 in. from top to allow for gasoline expansion.

Reinstall fuel cap.

Clean up any spills.
