NORMAL OPERATION
1.
The clutch will transfer maximum power after about two
hours of normal operation. During this break-in period
clutch slippage may occur. The clutch should be kept
free of oil and other moisture for efficient operation.
2.
Cultivate without placing excessive body weight on
the unit. The cultivator operates most efficiently with
the weight of the unit itself.
3.
Never run engine indoors. Exhaust fumes are deadly.
Using the Screw Type, manual venting Gas Cap
Your cultivator is equipped with a screw type, manual
venting gas cap.
1.
Before starting the engine, turn the screw in the top of
the gas cap 2-3 turns (counterclockwise) to its venting
position.
DO NOT
turn the screw to the point that it stops
(4-5 turns counterclockwise). Check that the gas cap is
screwed on tightly and the gas cap screw is in the
venting position.
2.
After using the cultivator and before putting away or
transporting it in a truck bed, screw the gas cap screw
and gas cap on (clockwise) tightly. This will prevent gas
from leaking during storage. The gas cap will not leak
during storage if gas cap is tight and the screw at the
top is tight.
