WARNING
Turn off ignition switch, and disconnect the spark plug before performing maintenance except for carburetor adjustments.
Reconnect the spark plug wire after the service is done.
A
Before Starting the Engine
Your cultivator has been equipped with two (2) foam air
filters inside the air filter housing to prevent dirt and debris
from entering the engine.
Accumulated debris and dust in the air filters will reduce
engine performance, increase fuel consumption, and
increase the risk of damage to the engine. Inspect the air
filters frequently for dust and debris build-up, and clean the
air filters every 5 hours of operation (more frequently in dusty/
dirty conditions).
Both air filters should be cleaned by following these
instructions:
1. Before removing air filter cover, brush away any loose
dirt or debris on and around the filter cover.
2. Remove the screw securing the air filter cover. See
Figure 13.
3. Remove and clean foam filters.
• Light surface dust can readily be removed by
tapping the filters.
• Heavy deposits should be washed out in soap and
water. Squeeze out any remaining water and allow
the filters to completely dry.
WARNING
Never clean filter in gasoline or other flammable solvents.
4. Add a drop of thin oil to the filters and replace it.
B
Spark Plug
Inspect the spark plug after every 10-15 hours of use; adjust spark plug gap and replace spark plug as necessary. Replace
spark plug every year to maintain engine performance and easy starting.
To inspect or replace the spark plug:
1. Remove the insulated spark plug boot.
2. Use the spark plug wrench to remove the spark plug, by turning counter-clockwise.
3. Visually inspect the spark plug for cracks or damage. If damaged, replace spark plug with a recommended replacement
(see "Product Specifications").
4. Clean carbon deposits. If excessive carbon build up, replace spark plug.
5. Adjust the spark plug gap to 0.024 – 0.028 in. (0.6 - 0.7mm).
6. Install the spark plug finger tight in the cylinder head, and then tighten firmly with the spark plug wrench.
7. Re-install the insulated spark plug boot.
Storage
1. Allow engine to cool and empty the fuel tank before
storing or transporting in vehicle. Use up remaining fuel in
the carburetor by starting the engine and letting it run until
it stops.
2. When not in use, store cultivator indoors in a dry
location. Store cultivator above the reach of children or
in a locked area out of the reach of children.
3. Store unit and fuel in area where fuel vapors cannot
reach sparks or open flames from water heaters, electric
motors or switches, furnaces, etc.
