Operating Instructions

Adjusting the Depth Regulator

Remove the locking pin and reverse the depth regulator and wheels,

slide up or down to position at desired tilling depth and reinstall the 

locking pin (see Figure 4). 

Starting the Engine

Make sure that the cultivator is on a level, stable position before starting 

the engine. Do not start the engine if there is spilled fuel.

1. Turn the engine’s ON/OFF switch to ON (see Figure 5).

2. Pump the engine primer bulb until it fills with fuel.

3.  Turn the engine’s choke lever to the CLOSED position. Set the 

choke lever to the OPEN position only when the engine has 

started or upon restarting a warm engine.

4.  Pull the recoil starter handle slowly until you meet some 

resistance. Pull the recoil starter with a rapid full arm stroke 

allowing the starter rope to rewind slowly. Repeat as necessary 

until the engine starts running.

5.  After the engine warms up and starts running normally, move 

the choke lever to the OPEN position.

Note: Allow the engine to warm up for 30 seconds before moving 

the choke lever to the OPEN position.
5.  The first 25 hours of operation is the break-in period. Breaking-

in the Engine will help ensure proper equipment and engine 

operation, and will extend the engine’s lifespan. After the first 25 

hours of use change the gasoline/2-cycle oil fuel mixture.

Pulling the safety 

drive lever towards the 

handlebar engages the 

tines.
