with all operating features and safety rules.

ENGINE SWITCH

The engine switch (2) controls the ignition system. The switch 
must be in the ON ( 

) position for the engine to start and run. 

To stop, place the switch in the OFF ( 

O

 )  position.

JUST ADD SAND

Putting sand in the sand tank allows greater stability when 
operating the cultivator, and also gives added weight to the 
machine, allowing it to cultivate with less effort and vibration.

RECOIL STARTER

The recoil starter (3) is used for starting the engine.

PRIMER BULB

The primer bulb (7) pumps fuel from the fuel tank to the 
 carburettor. This is necessary only when starting a cold 
engine or after refueling an engine that has run out of fuel. 

CHOKE LEVER

The choke lever (4) opens and closes the choke valve in the 
carburettor. The 

COLD START 

position enriches the fuel 

mixture for starting a cold engine. The 

RUN 

position provides 

the correct fuel mixture for normal operation after starting, or 
for restarting a warm engine.

THROTTLE LEVER

The throttle lever (1) controls the rotation speed of the tines. 
Completely engage the throttle lever while cultivating.
