BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE

How To Prepare The Engine

WARNING: Always use a safety fuel container. Do not smoke when adding the fuel mixture to

the engine. When inside an enclosure, do not fill the fuel tank. Before you add the fuel mixture, stop the engine. Let the engine cool for several minutes.

How To Mix The Fuel Mixture

The two cycle engine, used on this cultivator, requires a mixture of gasoline and oil for lu- brication of the bearings and other moving parts. The correct fuel mixture ratio is 24:1 (5.3 oz. oil per one gallon of gas – see the Fuel Mixture Chart). Gasoline and oil must be pre–mixed in a clean gasoline container. Always use fresh, clean, unleaded gasoline.

IMPORTANT: Do not use outboard mo- tor oil or multi–viscosity oils,such as 10W–30 or 10W–40.

3.Install the fuel cap onto the gasoline con- tainer. Vigorously shake the gasoline container to mix the oil with the gasoline.

4.Add an additional three (3) U.S. quarts of gasoline to the gallon container. Again shake the gasoline container.

5.This completes the gasoline mixing pro- cedure. The gasoline can now be added to the fuel tank.

FUEL MIXTURE CHART (mixture 24:1)

Mix gasoline and oil as follows:

1.Pour one (1) U.S. quart of fresh, clean, unleaded automotive gasoline into a one gallon size gasoline container.

2.Add 5.3 ounces of clean, high quality, two–cycle oil to the gasoline container.

U.S.		SI. (Metric

1 Gal.	5.3 oz.	4 Liters	.167 L
2 Gal.	11 oz.	8 Liters	.333 L
5 Gal.	27 oz.	20 Liters	.833 L

Do not fill the fuel tank with gasoline that does not have oil mixed in it. Shake the gasoline container before each filling of the fuel tank.
