BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE

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

(5.2 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.

Use of NMMA TC-W3, JASO FB or

JASO FC, or Global “GC” or Global “GB”

classified two-cycle oil is recommended.

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.
