2. Keep the Cultivator and surrounding area clean of flammable objects at all
times.
3. When spills of fuel or oil occur, they must be cleaned up immediately. Dis-
pose of fluids and cleaning materials as per any local, state, or federal codes and
regulations. Store oil rags in a covered metal container.
4. Never store fuel or other flammable materials near the Cultivator.
5. Do not smoke, or allow sparks, flames or other sources of ignition around
the Engine and Fuel Tank. Fuel vapors are explosive.
6. Keep grounded conductive objects, such as tools, away from exposed, live
electrical parts and connections to avoid sparking or arcing. These events
could ignite fumes or vapors.
7. Always fill the Engine’s Gas Tank to approximately 1-1/2” below the top of
the neck of the Tank to allow for fuel expansion. Do not overfill.
8. Do not refill the Fuel Tank while the Engine is running or while the Engine is
still hot. Do not operate the Cultivator with known leaks in the fuel system.
9. Excessive buildup of unburned fuel gases in the exhaust system can create
a potentially explosive condition. This buildup can occur after repeated
failed start attempts, valve testing, or hot engine shutdown. If this occurs,
open exhaust system drain plugs, if equipped, and allow the gases to dissipate
before attempting to restart the Engine.
10. Always check the Engine oil level prior to starting the Engine. Make sure to
read and understand the
Engine Owner’s Manual
for the proper oil level and oil
change schedules.
11. Use
only
engine manufacturer recommended fuel and oil. Refer to the
En-
gine Owner’s Manual
for further instructions.
MECHANICAL PRECAUTIONS
1. ALWAYS make sure the Engine’s Throttle Control (71) is in its “OFF” posi-
tion. Disconnect the spark plug wire, and allow the Engine to completely
cool before carrying out maintenance.
2. Check for damaged parts. Before using the Cultivator, any part that appears
damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate
