4. PRE-OPERATION CHECK
WARNING!
Exhaust gas contains poisonous carbon monoxide. NEVER run
the tiller in an enclosed area. Be sure to provide adequate
ventilation. Operate the tiller on a level surface. If the tiller is
tilted, fuel spillage may result. Keep away from rotating parts
while the tiller is running. The tiller is air-cooled and may be
damaged if ventilation is inadequate.
These quick checks should be done each time the tiller is started to ensure you get
the most out of your tiller.
Set the tiller on a level surface and the power to OFF.
4.1 CHECK THE FUEL AND OIL LEVEL
1. Check the fuel level by removing the fuel tank cap to visually check the
level.
2. Add fuel carefully. DO NOT ll up to the base of the fuel neck. Fill the fuel
tank no closer than 1 inch from top of tank to provide space for expansion.
3. Tighten the fuel cap securely after relling

Only use unleaded gasoline (Pump Octane 87 or higher).
NEVER use stale or contaminated gasoline, or an oil/gasoline mixture.
Avoid getting dirt or water into the fuel tank.
DO NOT use a mixture of gasoline containing methanol. This will cause
serious damage to the engine.
Use of gasoline with an ethanol content greater than 10% can damage
the engine and fuel system and will void the manufacturer’s warranty.
