ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
OIL AND FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS
Adjusting Tine Depth
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 spark plug wire.
2. Loosen (do not remove) the two wing nuts (5) on the
tine guard (4) (Fig. 3).
3. Slide the wheel down for shallower and up 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 (Fig. 4).
5. If the tine depth is not correct, repeat steps 2 to 4.
6. Reconnect the spark plug wire and continue use.
OIL AND FUEL MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
Old and/or improperly mixed fuel are the main reasons
for the unit not running properly. Be sure to use fresh,
clean unleaded fuel. Follow the instructions carefully for
the proper fuel/oil mixture.
Thoroughly mix the proper ratio of 2-cycle engine oil
with unleaded petrol, 40:1 (2.5 %). Do not mix them
directly in the tank.
