and allow engine to cool.

WARNiNG
Before operating your machine, carefully read and
understand all safety, controls and operating instructions in
this Operator’s Manual.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious
personal injury
introduction
Read this section before you start the engine. Then, take the
time to familiarize yourself with the basic operation of the tiller
before using it in the garden. Find an open, level area and
practice using the tiller controls without the tines engaging the
soil (put tines in “travel” setting). Only after you’ve become
completely familiar with the tiller should you begin using it in
the garden.
Add fuel
1. Use clean, fresh, regular unleaded gasoline with a
minimum octane rating of 85 and an ethanol content of
10% or less by volume.

2. DO NOT mix oil with gasoline.
3. Remove the gasoline cap.
4. Slowly add gasoline to the tank. DO NOT OVERFILL.
Gasoline can expand after filling. A minimum of ¼ in. (6.4 mm)
of space left in the tank is required for gasoline expansion
although more than ¼ in. (6.4 mm) is recommended. Gasoline
can be forced out of the tank as a result of expansion if
overfilled and can affect the stable running condition of the
tiller.
