How To Prepare The Engine
WARNING: Always use a safety
fuel container. Do not smoke
when adding the fuel mixture to
the engine. When inside an enclosure,
do not fill the fuel tank. Before you add
the fuel mixture, stop the engine. Let the
engine cool for several minutes.
How To Mix The Fuel Mixture
The two cycle engine, used on this cultivator,
requires a mixture of gasoline and oil for lu-
brication of the bearings and other moving
parts. The correct fuel mixture ratio is 24:1
(5.3 oz. oil per one gallon of gas - see the
Fuel Mixture Chart). Gasoline and oil must
be pre-mixed in a clean gasoline container.
Always use fresh, clean, unleaded gasoline.
Mix gasoline and oil as follows:
1. Pour one (1) U.S. quart of fresh, clean,
unleaded automotive gasoline into a one
gallon size gasoline container.
2. Add 5.3 ounces of clean, high quality,
two-cycle oil to the gasoline container.
IMPORTANT: Do not use outboard mo-
tor oil or multi-viscosity oils,such as
10W-30 or 10W-40.
3. Install the fuel cap onto the gasoline con-
tainer. Vigorously shake the gasoline
container to mix the oil with the gasoline.
4. Add an additional three (3) U.S. quarts of
gasoline to the gallon container. Again
shake the gasoline container.
5. This completes the gasoline mixing pro-
cedure. The gasoline can now be added
to the fuel tank.
