on purchasing your new GARDEN TRAX MINI CULTIVATOR & DETHATCHER and welcome to
the world of Garden Trax Gardening. We know that you are anxious to get right to work and start

your owner’s manual and take time to save time. We have worked hard to ensure that your new
unit will be one of the most trouble-free and satisfying pieces of equipment you have ever owned. With
proper care and maintenance, your new equipment will provide many years of service. Please take

ENGINE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
CARBON MONOXIDE POISING WARNING
All engines have carbon monoxide contained in their exhaust fumes. It is a deadly, colorless, odorless,
tasteless gas which could be present even though you see or smell no engine exhaust. In an enclosed area
