UNPACKING AND ASSEMBLY
UNPACK CULTIVATOR
1. Carefully lift the cultivator out of the box, remove any packing
material and cut any ties holding the handlebar pieces to the
cultivator assembly.
2. Find parts packet. Parts packet contains:
4 - T-Handle Nuts (4640)
4 - Curved Washers (4641)
4 - Handle Clamp Bolts (4642)
ASSEMBLY
1. Stand the cultivator assembly upright with tines and wheels
on a level surface. Wheels should be set in the lowest position
(See Operation Section for wheel adjustment instructions).
DO NOT place the cultivator on a high surface where it can
fall and cause property damage or personal injury.
2. Using two T-handle nuts, two handle clamp bolts, and two
curved washers, attach the middle handlebar to the lower
handlebar that is already connected to the cultivator assembly
(SEE FIGURE 1). Make sure the pull cord is in the center of
the middle handle bar when attaching. The middle handlebar
can be installed in one of two positions, one high and one
low. DO NOT overtighten the T-handle nuts.
3. Attach the upper right and left handlebars to the middle
handlebar using the two remaining T-handle nuts, handle
clamp bolts, and curved washers (SEE FIGURE 1). DO NOT
overtighten the T-handle nuts.
4. The drag stake is shipped with point facing upwards. Before
using, remove detent pin and turn the drag stake around
so the point is directed in the downward position facing to-
wards the tines. Re-insert detent pin. SEE FIGURE 2.

OPERATION
PREPARING ENGINE FOR STARTING
GAS AND OIL
NOTE: Engine is shipped from factory without oil. You must add
engine oil before starting engine. If engine is started without oil,
engine may be damaged beyond repair and will not be covered
by warranty.
To operate the engine, we recommend using
Viper®
brand 4-cy-
cle oil (13235), included with each new cultivator, or an equiva-
lent 10W-30 engine oil to ensure that the engine operates cor-
rectly throughout the life of the engine. Use straight unleaded
premium 92 octane gasoline with no ethanol, or 10% or less
ethanol content.
