FUEL OR FILLING THE FUEL TANK. NEVER FILL FUEL TANK COMPLETELY; BUT FILL THE TANK TO WITHIN t/4 - 1/2 INCH FROM THE TOP TO PROVIDE SPACE FOR EXPANSION OF FUEL.
ALWAYS FILL FUEL TANK OUTDOORS AND USE A FU NNEL OR SPOUT TO PREVENT SPILL- ING. MAKE SURE TO WIPE UP ANY SPILLED FUEL BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE.
STORE GASOLINE IN A CLEAN, APPROVED CONTAINER, AND KEEP THE CAP IN PLACE ON THE CONTAINER. KEEP GASOLINE IN A COOL, WELL VENTILATED PLACE; NEVER IN THE HOUSE. NEVER BUY MORE THAN A 30 DAY SUPPLY OF GASOLINE TO ASSURE VOLATIL- ITY. GASOLINE IS INTENDED TO BE USED AS A FUEL FOR INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES; THEREFORE, DO NOT USE GASOLINE FOR ANY OTHER PURPOSE_ SINCE MANY CHIL- DREN LIKE THE SMELL OF GASOLINE, KEEP IT OUT OF THEIR REACH BECAUSE THE FUMES ARE DANGEROUS TO INHALE, AS WELL AS BEING EXPLOSIVE.,
BEFORE STARTING ENGINE
FILL GAS
The two cycle engine used on this mini tilter/cultivator requires a mixture of gasoline and oil for lubrication of the bearings and other moving parts The correct fuel mixture ratio is 24:1 (see Fuel Mixtu_e Chart) Gasoline and oil must be premixed in a clean gasoline container Always use fresh, clean unleaded gasoline
WARNING: Experience indicates thai alcohol blended fuels (called gasahol or using ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture which leads to separation and formation of acids during storage Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine while in storage To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be emptied before storage for 30 days or longer. Drain the gas tank, start
