Fuel Mix
Your Tiller/Cultivator is powered by a commercial two stroke engine which requires a fuel
mixture of gasoline and lubricating oil. Use a mixture of 30 parts unleaded regular gasoline
and 1 part two-stroke oil (30:1.) Make sure to use gasoline with a minimum octane number
of 90 ROZ.
Recommended mixing ratio
Gasoline :Oil
30:1
Exhaust emission are controlled by the fundamental engine parameters and components
(eq., carburetors, ignition timing and port timing) without addition of any major hardware or
the introduction of an inert material during combustion.
How to mix fuel:
1. Pour 3 liters of the gasoline into a safe container. Do not mix the fuel and oil in
the engine fuel tank.
2. Add 0.1 liters of two-cycle engine oil to the gasoline and mix. Then add the rest
of the gasoline.
3. Screw the cap onto the gasoline can. Then swirl the can to blend the oil and gas.
Fueling the unit:
1. Carefully pour the fuel mix into the Tiller/Cultivator’s fuel tank.
2. Put fuel into the fuel tank to 80% of the full capacity.
3. Fasten the fuel cap securely and wipe up any fuel spillage around the unit.
IMPORTANT: Two stroke fuel separates and ages. Do not mix more than what you use in
a month. Using old fuel can cause difficult starting or engine damage. Shake fuel container
thoroughly to mix fuel before each use. Do not attempt to run your engine on gasoline only,
use proper fuel mixture.

Remember:
Always mix two-cycle oil with gasoline before fueling your Tiller/Cultivator. Never,
ever run your Tiller/Cultivator on gasoline alone. This will ruin your engine and
void all warranties.
Always use a clean gas can and unleaded gas.
Never try to mix the oil and gasoline in the engine fuel tank.
Always mix oil and gas in the proper proportions: 0.1 litres of two-cycle engine oil
to 3 litres of unleaded gasoline.
Gasohol - It can cause deterioration of rubber and/or plastic parts and disruption
of engine lubrication.
Oil for 4-cycle engine use or water coded 2-cycle engine use - it can cause spark
plug fouling, exhaust port blocking, or piston ring sticking.
WARNING: Fuel is extremely flammable. Handle it with care. Keep away from ignition
sources. Do not smoke while fueling your equipment
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Do not use old or stale oil/gasoline mixture. Always use the proper oil/gasoline mixture. If
you do not, your engine will suffer rapid, permanent damage and you will void the engine
warranty.

STARTING INSTRUCTIONS
Starting Your Tiller/Cultivator for the First Time Cold Engine)
1. Fill the fuel tank with the proper oil/gasoline mixture. (See previous section.)
2. Hand tighten the gasoline cap just until its snug.
3. Move run/stop lever into the “run”
position.
4. Slide the choke lever back to close
the engine choke
5. Locate the purge bulb on the upper
right of the engine, in front of the
fuel tank. It sends fuel into the
carburetor, for easy starting. Press
the purge bulb until you see fuel
flow through t e clear fuel return
line.
Since you’re starting “cold,” you
may need to press six to eight
times. As soon as fuel starts flowing
through the clear fuel line, stop
pressing!
6. Don’t pull the throttle trigger during the starting of the engine.
7. Pull the starter cord slowly until resistance is felt. Then give the recoil starter
cord a few short, brisk pulls until the engine fires. During cold starting, you
may need to pull at least three or four times before the engine fires.
NOTE: When the choke is closed, never pull the cord more than four or five
times. Over pulling may cause flooding. Also, bear in mind that, when the
engine fires, it only coughs or sputters, and will not run on choke.

Page 16 of 48
8. Move the choke lever to the Close
(Choke)position
9. Then pull the starter cord again. The engine should start and run. Let the
engine warm up two to three minutes before using.
Follow the above steps whenever you are starting the engine “cold”, or when the engine
has run dry and you have just added fuel. Remember, always use short, brisk pulls. Don’t
give the cord a long, forceful yank. And, do not let the cord snap back into the starter housing.
Starting a Warm Engine:
1. Slide ignition switch to START position.
2. Move the choke lever to the Open (Run) position.
3. If there is no fuel in the clear return line, push primer bulb 3-4 times or until fuel
is visible in the line.
4. Pull starter rope using short pulls, 1/2 to 2/3 of the rope length.
5. If engine fails to start in 4 pulls, use “First Time” starting procedure.
6. With engine running, and both hands on the handles, squeeze throttle trigger
gradually to increase the engine speed and engage the tines.
How to Stop the Engine:
Simply push the start/stop switch to “stop.”
This will stop the engine instantly. If it
should ever fail to do so, just pull out the
choke button. The engine will stop at once
About the Choke:
The choke controls the amount of air drawn into the engine. Your Tiller/Cultivator will run
only if the choke is open —that is, if the choke is pushed in.
Special Feature (with the idle set properly and the engine running):
Even when the engine is running, the tines won’t turn unless you press the throttle lever on
the handlebars. And, when you release the throttle lever, the tines will stop.
Tip for Extending Your Engine’s Life:
After you start the engine, let your Tiller/Cultivator warm up for two to three minutes before
you use it. Then, before you put your Tiller/Cultivator away, let it idle for a minute to give the
engine a chance to cool down.

WARNING:If the engine does not stop when switch is set to the stop position, release
the throttle. Allow engine to idle. Put the tiller/cultivator down, and pull the choke button out
to cold start (closed) position. Check and return ignition switch to ON position before starting
the engine again.
What to do Just in Case:
If you follow the normal starting procedure, you should have no problem starting your
Tiller/Cultivator. But, just in case you do have problems, here’s what to do.
Make sure the run/stop switch is on “run” If the switch was on “stop” when you pulled the
cord, you may have flooded the engine.
•First, examine the spark plug. Use a 19 mm spark plug wrench.
•Remove the cap over the spark plug
IMPORTANT NOTE:
To avoid possible damage to the threads, do not try to remove the plug from a hot aluminum
cylinder head.
•Unscrew the spark plug.
Starting a Flooded Engine:
If the end of the spark plug is wet, the engine may be flooded. Make sure the switch is in
the stop position, disconnect spark plug wire and remove the plug. Use a paper towel or a
clean rag to dry the spark plug, then, with the spark plug out of the engine, pull the starter
cord several times. Shake the fuel out of the inside of the plug and air dry. Next, replace the
spark plug. Use the wrench to tighten it and replace the cap. Next, put the switch in the start
position and pull the choke button out. Pull the starter cord three or four times until the
engine coughs or sputters. Open the choke (push the choke button in) and pull the cord a
few times. The engine should start and run.
If the end of the spark plug is dry, check to see if the fuel line is blocked. The fuel line
runs from the fuel tank to the carburetor. Pull it off at the carburetor end. Fuel should drip
slowly from the line. Wipe off any excess or spilled fuel. If fuel does not drip from the line,
check the line for any bends or pinches. Kinks in the line restrict the flow of fuel to the engine.
Just straighten out the line. Reconnect. Then follow the normal starting procedure. If fuel
drips too freely, the line may be disconnected from the fuel filter. You’ll find the fuel filter
inside the fuel tank. Just re-attach the line to the filter, and put the filter back in the tank.
Then follow the normal starting procedure.
WARNING: Make sure the start/stop switch is in the stop position.
Keep plug wire away from the engine to avoid unintentional spark.
Another Way to Start your Tiller/Cultivator:
If you follow the steps above and your engine still won’t start, try this:
1. Push the switch to “start.”
2. Move the choke lever to open the choke.
3. Press the plastic bubble a few times.
4. Give the starter cord a few short, quick pulls. The engine should start and run.
5. If the engine does not start, then move the choke lever to close the choke. Pull
the starter cord four to five times. The engine should sputter or cough.
6. After the engine sputters, push the choke button in. Then pull the starter cord.
The engine should start and run.
7. If the engine still does not start, repeat steps 2 through 6.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Never use starting fluids. Starting fluids will cause permanent engine damage. Using them
will void the warranty.
TILLING
If you’ve seen other Tiller/Cultivators, your Tiller/Cultivator may surprise you. It tills best
when you pull it backward! When you pull your Tiller/Cultivator backward, you give extra
resistance to the tines, so they dig deeper. What’s more when you go backward, you erase
your footprints, so your soil stays light and fluffy. With other Tiller/Cultivators, by contrast,
you walk right over the soil you’ve just cultivated, packing it down, so it’s less plant able.
Place your Tiller/Cultivator at the head of the row or area you want to cultivate. Start it up.
Then use an easy rocking motion. First, pull your Tiller/Cultivator backward. Then use an
easy rocking motion. Again, pull your Tiller/Cultivator backward. Then, let it move forward
just a little bit. Then pull it backward again. This will help you cultivate deeper. Keep
repeating these steps until you’ve tilled an entire row. Start again on the next row. It’s much
like running a vacuum cleaner! You Can Even Control Depth.
For Deeper Cultivating:
Move your Tiller/Cultivator slowly back and forth, as you would a vacuum cleaner. Work the
same area over and over until you’ve dug to your desired depth.
For Shallow Cultivating:
Switch the tines to the cultivating position.
Then move your Tiller/Cultivator quickly over your soil surface.
For Big Weeds or Tough Roots:
Let your Tiller/Cultivator rock back and forth over the tough spot, until the tines slice through
the weed or root.
WARNING: The operator of this tiller/cultivator is responsible for accidents or hazards
occurring to himself, other people, or their property.
CULTIVATING
Guide your Tiller/Cultivator where you want to weed and start it up. Pull your Tiller/Cultivator
backward slowly, then let it move forward a bit, in a gentle rocking motion.
Watch it slice, shred, and bury those weeds! Got tough weeds? Lighten your pressure on
the throttle to slow your Tiller/Cultivator down. Then work back and forth until your
Tiller/Cultivator chops up the weeds. It’s easy and effective!
Remember, any Tiller/Cultivator will tangle in tall grass, stringy vines, or super-big weeds.
So, if you have a “backyard jungle,” first use a knife, pruner, or brush cutter to chop up the
overgrowth. If the tines become tangled anyway, turn the engine off completely before trying
to clear them.

MAINTENANCE
How to Check, Clean and Change the Air Filter:
Check the air filter every 25 hours of use or more frequently if used under dusty conditions.
A clogged air filter may increase fuel consumption while cutting down the engine power.
Never operate the blower without the air filter or with a deformed filter element because
unfiltered dusty air will quickly ruin the engine.
Cleaning Air Filter:
1. Remove the air cleaner cover by pulling the tab on side and take out the 3 filter
element.
2. Use neutral detergent and warm water to clean the filter elements. After cleaning,
air dry the element completely and moisten with a small amount of motor oil.
3. Place the filter element into the air cleaner housing and press the cover against
the housing until it clicks.
Idle Speed Adjustment:
1. Warm up engine before
adjusting idle speed.
2.
The idle speed adjustment
screw controls the throttle
opening at idle position.
3. When the engine tends to stop
frequently at idling mode, turn
the adjusting screw clock wise.
4. If the tines continue to rotate
even after releasing the trigger,
turn the adjusting screw
counter-clockwise.
Clear Blockages from the Fuel Line & Filter
After you’ve used your Tiller/Cultivator for a few seasons, check for blockages in the fuel
tank and fuel filter. Such blockages can keep your Tiller/Cultivator away from starting. Clear
any blockages you see in the tank, fuel filter, or fuel line.
Remember: The fuel filter is located inside the tank. Then use the normal starting procedure
to start your Tiller/Cultivator.
Spark Plug:
Starting failure and mis-firing are often caused by a fouled spark plug. Clean the spark plug
and check whether the plug gap is in the correct range. (0.6～0.7mm)
CAUTION: Do not over tighten the spark plug. To install the spark plug first turn the plug
until it is finger tight, then tighten it a quarter turn more with a socket wrench.
Muffler:
Inspect periodically, the muffler for loose fasteners, any damage or corrosion. If
any sign of exhaust leakage is found, stop using the machine and have it repaired
immediately.
Note that failing to do so may result in the engine catching on fire.
Never touch the cylinder, muffler, or spark plugs with your bare hands
immediately after stopping the engine. The engine can become very hot when in
operation, and doing so could result in severe burns.
