F–031305L 9 OPERATION KNOW YOUR CULTIVATOR READ THE OWNER’S MANUAL AND ALL SAFETY RULES BEFORE YOU OPERATE the cultivator. To familiarize yourself with the location of the controls, compare the illustrations with your cultivator. Save this manual for future reference. Throttle Control – Controls the engine speed and the tine rotation. The cultivator is equipped with a centrifugal clutch that engages the tine drive system when the engine speed is increased. Choke Control Lever – Use to assist when starting a cold engine. ON / OFF Switch – The ON position allows the engine to start. The OFF position stops the engine and keeps the engine from starting. Recoil Starter Handle Choke Control Air Cleaner Depth Stake and Transport Wheels Fuel Cap Assembly Tine Shield Depth Rod and Transport Wheels Tines Assembly Figure 6 Throttle Control Lever Upper Handle Lower Handle ON / OFF Switch Recoil Starter Handle – The engine is equipped with an easy pull recoil starter. Depth Stake or Depth Rod – Two types are shown. Mount with the wheels up to adjust the depth of cut. Also use to help control the direction and speed of the cultivator. Transport Wheels – Mount with the wheels down when transporting the cultivator. EYE PROTECTION Always wear safety glasses. If you wear eye glasses, put a Wide Vision Safety Mask over your eye glasses. WARNING: Debris thrown from the cultivator can result in foreign objects being thrown into the eyes, which can cause severe eye damage. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields when operating the cultivator. F–031305L 10 OPERATION HOW TO USE THE CULTIVATOR Depth Stake How To Stop The Cultivator 1. Release the throttle control to stop the tines. 2. Move the ON/OFF switch, on the engine, to the OFF position. How To Set The Depth Your model will either have a depth stake or a depth rod to control the tilling depth and the forward speed. Set the depth stake or the depth rod to the desired tilling position as follows: 1. Remove the hairpin and the clevis pin from the depth stake or depth rod (see Figure 7). 2. Adjust the depth stake or depth rod upward to dig shallower or downward to dig deeper. 3. Reinstall the clevis pin and hairpin. Clevis Pin Hair Pin Depth Stake Bracket Depth Rod Clevis Pin Depth Rod Bracket Figure 7 HOW TO OPERATE THE CULTIVATOR 1. Start the engine. See “How To Start The Engine”. 2. Tilt the unit back on the depth stake or depth rod until the tines are off the ground. Squeeze the throttle control all the way up against the hand grip. The engine is governor controlled and must be run at full throttle while tilling. 3. Hold the handle firmly and slowly tilt the unit forward to begin the tilling action. 4. As the tines begin to make contact with the ground, hold back on the handles so that the tines will dig into the soil and not ride forward over the ground. 5. Avoid tilling soil that is too dry as it will pulverize and produce a dust that will not hold water. Also, tilling soil that is too wet will be hard on the machine and produce unsatisfactory clods. 6. Lowering the depth stake will slow the cultivator and make it till deeper. Raising the depth bar will allow it to move faster and till more shallow. See “How To Set The Depth Stake or Depth Rod”. WARNING: Keep away from the rotating tines. Rotating tines can cause injury. F–031305L 11 OPERATION 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 lubrication of the bearings and other moving parts. The correct fuel mixture ratio is 24:1 (5.2 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. 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. IMPORTANT: Do not use outboard motor oil or multi–viscosity oils,such as 10W–30 or 10W–40. 3. Install the fuel cap onto the gasoline container. 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 procedure. The gasoline can now be added to the fuel tank. FUEL MIXTURE CHART (mixture 24:1) U.S. SI.
