LONGTERM 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, such as STA-
BIL®, to fresh gasoline, in the ratio recommended on the sta-
bilizer packaging. Run the engine for ve minutes to distrib-
ute 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. Store 4-cycle cultivator engine in a vertical position.
3. Remove all debris from cultivator tines and engine.
TRANSPORTING YOUR CULTIVATOR
1. After using the cultivator, and before transporting it in a truck
bed, check that the gas cap is screwed on (clockwise) tightly.
The gas cap will not leak during transporting if gas cap is tight.
Never transport engine inside an enclosed space within a
vehicle. Fuel or fuel vapors may ignite causing serious injury
or death.
2. If fuel is present in the fuel tank, transport in an open vehicle
in an upright position.
3. If an enclosed vehicle must be used, remove gas into an
approved red fuel container. DO NOT siphon by mouth.
4. Wipe away any spilled fuel from engine and cultivator. Allow
to dry.
5. Run engine to use up the fuel in the carburetor and fuel tank.
Always run engine in a well ventilated area.
6. Gas cap should be screwed down tightly before transporting
your cultivator in a vehicle.
