speed when not cultivating.
•
Always stop the engine when walking from one
location to another.
•
Keep the tines and guard clear of debris.
FUELING AND PRE-OPERATIONAL
•
Gasoline{petrol) is extremely flammable and its vapors
can explode if ignited. Always stop the engine and
allow it to cool before filling the fuel tank. Do not smoke
while filling the fuel tank. Keep sparks and open flames
away from the area.
•
Store gasoline and fuel only in containers designed
and approved for the storage of such materials.
•
Pressure can build up in the fuel tank. Loosen the fuel
tank cap slowly to relieve any pressure in the tank.
•
Add fuel in a clean, well-ventilated area. Wipe up any
spilled fuel immediately. If fuel has been spilled, allow it
to dry completely before starting the engine.
•
Move the unit at least 3 m (10ft.) from the fueling
point before starting the engine.
•
Thoroughly inspect the unit for loose or damaged parts
before each use. Do not use until adjustments or
repairs are made.
•
Avoid accidental starting. Be in the starting position
whenever pulling the starting rope.
•
Keep all bystanders, especially children, and pets at
least 10m (33 ft.) away from the area.
DURING OPERATION

4. Clean and oil the shaft.
5. Replace the tines and felt cushions by reversing steps
2 & 3 (Fig. 26).
Tine adjustment will vary depending on the type of soil
being cultivated and how it will be used. Generally,
adjusting the tines to break the soil 4 to 6 inches is recommended for most gardens. Adjust the tines as follows:
1. Stop the engine and disconnect the plug wire.
2. Loosen (do not remove) the two wing nuts on the tine
guard.
3. Slide the wheel bracket assembly up for shallower and
down for deeper tine penetration.
4. Once the tines are in the desired position, tighten the
wing nuts, making sure that the carriage bolts are
seated properly through the bracket.
5. If the tine depth is not correct, repeat steps 2-4.

TINE REPLACEMENT
WARNING
Always wear gloves when working with the
tines because they become very sharp from
from use.
Fig. 26
~~:~:~:~:~lI:1
NOTE:
When installed correctly, the hubs on the
tines will face each other and the letter
"R"stamped on the tines will appear on
the right side of the cultivator and the
letter "L" will appear on the left side. It is
important that the tines are installed
correctly.
6. Repeat this procedure on the opposite side.
All 4 tines should be replaced at the same time because
they will wear evenly through normal use. Work on one
side at a time.
1. Turn ignition switch to the OFF position and disconnect
the spark plug wire.
2. Remove the hitch pin clips and clevis pins (Fig. 25).
Fig. 25

3. Apply clean SAE 30 oil to the filter (Fig. 29).
AIR FILTER MAINTENANCE
Mim~
NOTE: CLEAN AND RE-OIL THE AIR RLTER
EVERY 10 HOURS OF OPERATION.
Your unit's air filter is one of the most
important areas to maintain. If it is not
maintained as followed, you will void
the warranty.
1. Remove the air filter from the carburetor/air filter cover
assembly (Fig. 27).
Fig. 29
4. Squeeze the filter to spread the oil (Fig. 30).
Fig. 27
2. Wash it in detergent and water (Rg. 28). Rinse the
filter thoroughly and allow it to dry.
Fig. 30
Fig. 28

CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT
This unit is equipped with a diaphragm-type carburetor that
has been carefully calibrated at the factory. In most cases,
no further adjustment will be required.
The condition of the air filter is important to the operation of
the trimmer. A dirty air filter will restrict the air flow, which
upsets the fuel-air mixture in the carburetor. The resulting
symptoms are often mistaken for an out-of-adjustment
carburetor. Therefore, check the condition of the air filter
before adjusting the carburetor. Refer to Air Filter
Maintenance on page 12.
If the following conditions are experienced, it may be
necessary to adjust the carburetor:
•
•
•
•
6. Final Idle Speed And Idle Mixture Settings: Adjust
the idle speed and mixture for smoothest engine idle.
a. Adjust the idle mixture screw for the fastest idle; then
turn the screw counterclockwise 118 turn.
b. Squeeze the throttle trigger. If the engine falters or
hesitates on acceleration, turn the idle mixture
screw counterclockwise 1/16 turn at a time until
rapid acceleration is achieved.
If the idle speed has changed significantly because of steps
a and b above, readjust the idle speed screw.
The engine will not idle
The engine hesitates or stalls on acceleration
The loss of engine power that is not corrected by
cleaning the air filter and muffler
The engine operates in an erratic or fuel-rich condition
(indicated by excessive exhaust smoke from the
muffler).
The carburetor has 2 basic adjustments: the idle speed
and the idle mixture adjustments. The high speed mixture
is preset; no high speed adjustment is possible.

4. Start and warm up the engine.
5. Release the throttle trigger and let the engine idle. If the
engine stops, turn the idle speed screw clockwise 1/8
turn at a time as required until the engine idles.

NOTE:
If the carburetor adjustments do not help
the unit to run properly, contact your
authorized service dealer.

STORAGE PROCEDURES
If the unit will be stored for an extended period of time, use
the following storage procedure.
1. Drain all fuel from the fuel tank and drain into a
container with the same 2-cycle fuel mixture. Do not
use fuel that has been stored for more than 30 days.
Dispose of the old fueVoil mix in a safe manner and use
a fresh mix.
2. Start the engine and allow it to run until it stalls. This
ensures that all fuel has been drained from the
carburetor.
3. Allow the engine to cool. Remove the spark plug and
put approximately one ounce of any high quality motor
oil or 2-eycle oil into the cylinder. Pull the starter rope
slowly to distribute the oil. Reinstall the spark plug.
IIg!:j!:!:!~
NOTE:
Remove the spark plug and drain all of
the oil from the cylinder before attempting
to start the unit after storage.
4. Thoroughly clean the unit and inspect for any loose or
damaged parts. Repair or replace damaged parts and
tighten loose screws, nuts or bolts.
5. The unit is now ready for storage.
6. Store the unit in a dry, well-ventilated area.
