Homelite UT60526 mixing the fuel, Oxygenated Fuels, adding fuel to cultivator, Assembly

ASSEMBLY

NOTE:  The unit will not operate properly if the tines are installed incorrectly. If you notice a problem with the cultivating operation of the unit, check for proper tine positioning.

WARNING:

Gasoline and its vapors are highly flammable and ex- plosive. To prevent serious personal injury and property damage, handle it with care. Keep away from ignition sources and open flames, handle outdoors only, do not smoke while mixing gasoline and lubricant 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 lubricant.

NOTE:  Always mix two-cycle engine lubricant like Homelite’s Exact Mix Semi Synthetic Lubricant with gasoline before fueling the unit. Running the cultivator on gasoline alone will ruin the engine.

NOTE: We recommend you use ONLY Homelite or G-oil®in your product.

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

NOTE:  Alwaysmixlubricantandgasintheproperproportions:

2.6ounces of lubricant to one gallon of unleaded gaso-

line.

To mix the lubricant and fuel together for use:

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

nAdd 2.6 ounces of two-cycle engine lubricant to the gasoline mixture.

nAdd the remaining 1/2 gallon of gasoline.

nClose the container holding the gas/lubricant 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.

OXYGENATED FUELS

DO NOT USE E85 FUEL. IT WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY.

NOTE: Fuel system damage or performance problems re- sulting from the use of an oxygenated fuel containing more than the percentages of oxygenates stated previously are not covered under warranty.

Ethanol. Gasoline containing up to 10% ethanol by volume (commonly referred to as E10) or 15% ethanol by volume (commonly referred to as E15) are acceptable. E85 is not.

WARNING:

Always shut off engine before fueling. Never add fuel to a machine with a running or hot engine. Move at least 30 ft. from refueling site before starting engine. Do not smoke! Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious personal injury.

adding fuel to cultivator

See Figure 7.

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

To add fuel to the cultivator:

nClean area around fuel tank cap, if necessary.

nRemove the fuel tank cap.
