BEFORE STARTING ENGINE
FILL GAS
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
(see Fuel Mixture
Chart). Gasoline
and oil
must be premixed
in a clean gasoline
con-
tainer. Always
use fresh, clean unleaded
soline.
CAUTION:
Gasoline is flammable
and caution
must be used when
handling
or storing
it. Do not fill fuel tank while cul-
tivator/tiller
is running,
hot, or when it is in
an enclosed
area. Keep fuel away from
open flame and electrical
spark.
DO NOT
SMOKE
while mixing fuel or filling the fuel
tank. Never fill fuel tank completely,
but
fill itto within 1/4.1/2
inch from the top to
provide space for expansion
of fuel. Al-
ways fill fuel tank OLrtdoors and use a fun-
nel or spout to prevent
spilling.
Make sure
to wipe up any spilled fuel before starting
the engine.
Store gasoline
in a clean, approved
con-
tainer,
and keep the cap in place on the
container.
Keep gasoline
in a cool, well-
ventilated
place, never indoors. To as-
sure volatility,
never buy more than a 30
day supply of gasoline.
Gasoline
is in-
tended
to be used as a fuel for internal
combustion
engines;
therefore,
do not
use gasoline
for any other purpose°
Since
many children
like the smell of gasoline,
keep it out of their reach because
the
fumes
are dangerous
to inhale, as well as
ng explosive.
WARNING:
Experience
indicates
that alcohol
blended
fuels (called gasohol
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 en-
gine while in storage. To avoid engine prob-
lems, the fuel system shou{d be emptied
