Transporting Your Cultivator
1. After using the cultivator and before transporting it,
screw the gas cap on (clockwise) tightly. The gas cap will
not leak during transporting if gas cap is tight. Never
transport engine inside an enclosed space within a
vehicle. Fuel or fuel vapors may ignite causing serious
injury or death.
2. If fuel is present in the fuel tank, transport in an open
vehicle in an upright position.
3. If an enclosed vehicle must be used, remove gas into an
approved red fuel container.
DO NOT
siphon by mouth.
4. Run engine to use up the fuel in the carburetor and fuel
tank. Always run engine in a well ventilated area.
5. Wipe away any spilled fuel from engine and cultivator.
Allow to dry.
6. Gas cap should be turned down tightly before
transporting cultivator in a vehicle.
Long-Term Storage
If your cultivator will not be used for more than one month,
prepare it for long term storage.
Steps for Long-Term Storage
1. Mix an appropriate amount of fuel stabilizer to fresh
gasoline, in the ratio recommended on the stabilizer
packaging. Run the engine for five minutes to distribute
the stabilizer mixture throughout the fuel system. This
will prevent gum, varnish and corrosion build up in
your fuel system during long-term storage for up to 12
months.
2. Store cultivator in the storage position.
SEE FIGURE 10
3. Remove all debris from cultivator tines and engine.
