tank. Always run engine in a well ventilated area.
6. Fuel cap should be screwed down tightly before transporting
your 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. Remove all debris from cultivator tines and engine.
3. Store cultivator by placing it on a level surface, resting on
the fuel tank and tine shield.
