DANGER
ENGINES GIVE OFF CARBON MONOXIDE, AN
ODORLESS, COLORLESS, POISONOUS GAS.
CARBON MONOXIDE MAY BE PRESENT EVEN IF
YOU DO NOT SMELL OR SEE ANY ENGINE EXHAUST.
BREATHING CARBON MONOXIDE CAN CAUSE
NAUSEA, FAINTING OR DEATH, IN ADDITION TO
DROWSINESS, DIZZINESS AND CONFUSION.
IF YOU EXPERIENCE ANY OF THESE SYMPTOMS,
SEEK FRESH AIR AND MEDICAL ATTENTION
IMMEDIATELY.
Engine Safety Precautions
If your product comes with a separate engine manual, be
sure to read and follow all safety and warning precautions
outlined there, in addition to any in this manual.
Preventing Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
• Always start and run engine outdoors. Do not start
or run engine in an enclosed area, even if doors or
windows are open.
• Never try to ventilate engine exhaust indoors. Carbon
monoxide can reach dangerous levels very quickly.
• Never run engine outdoors where exhaust fumes may
be pulled into a building.
• Never run engine outdoors in a poorly ventilated area
where the exhaust fumes may be trapped and not
easily taken away. (Examples include: in a large hole
or areas where hills surround your working area.)
• Never run engine in an enclosed or partially enclosed
area. (Examples include: buildings that are enclosed
on one or more sides, under tents, car ports or
basements.)
• Always run the engine with the exhaust and muer
pointed in the direction away from the operator.
• Never point the exhaust muer towards anyone.
People should always be many feet away from the
operation of the engine and its attachments.
• Do not change the engine governor settings or overspeed the engine.
Gasoline Fires and Handling Fuel Safely
Use extra care in handling gasoline and other fuels. They are
ammable and vapors are explosive.
• When storing extra fuel be sure that it is in an
appropriate container and away from any re hazards.
• Prevent re and explosion caused by static electric
discharge. Use only nonmetal, portable fuel
containers approved by the Underwriter’s Laboratory
(U.L.) or the American Society for Testing & Materials
(ASTM).
• Never remove the fuel cap or add fuel with the engine
running. Stop engine and allow to cool before lling.
• Never drain fuel from engine in an enclosed area.
CAUTION
HOT GASES ARE A NORMAL BYPRODUCT OF A
FUNCTIONING INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE.
FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS TO PREVENT
BURNS AND FIRES.
WARNING
NEVER ALTER OR MODIFY THE ENGINE FROM
THE FACTORY. SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH MAY
OCCUR IF ENGINE IS MODIFIED OR ALTERED.
WHEN WORKING ON OR REPLACING PARTS FOR
THE ENGINE OR PRODUCT, YOU MUST ALWAYS
FLIP THE ON/OFF SWITCH TO THE OFF OR STOP
POSITION.
• Always ll fuel tank outside in a well ventilated area.
Never ll your fuel tank with fuel indoors. (Examples
include: basement, garage, barn, shed, house, porch,
etc.) Never ll tank near appliances with pilot lights,
heaters, or other ignition sources. If the fuel has to be
drained, this should be done outdoors. The drained
fuel should be stored in a container specically
designed for fuel storage or it should be disposed of
carefully.
• Always wipe up excess (spilled) fuel from engine
before starting. Clean up spilled fuel immediately.
If fuel is spilled, do not start the engine but move
product and fuel container from area. Clean up spilled
fuel and allow to evaporate and dry after wiping and
before starting.
• Allow fuel fumes/vapors to escape from the area
before starting engine.
• Test the fuel cap for proper installation before starting
and using engine.
• Always run the engine with fuel cap properly installed
on the engine.
• Never smoke while relling engine fuel tank.
• Do not store engine with fuel in fuel tank indoors. Fuel
and fuel vapors are highly explosive.
Preparation
• Dress appropriately when operating the cultivator.
Always wear sturdy footwear. Never wear sandals,
sneakers or open shoes, and never operate the
cultivator with bare feet. Do not wear loose clothing
that might get caught in moving parts.
• Carefully inspect the area to be cultivated and
remove all foreign objects. Do not cultivate above
underground water lines, gas lines, electric cables, or
pipes. Do not operate the cultivator in soil with large
rocks and foreign objects which can damage the
equipment.
• Disengage all clutches and leave control lever in the
neutral position before starting the engine.

LEFT RIGHT
MC25 2-Cycle Cultivator
• Handle fuel with care; it is highly ammable.
a. Use an approved fuel container.
b. Never add fuel to a running engine or hot engine.
c. Fill fuel tank outdoors with extreme care. Never ll fuel
tank indoors.
d. Replace gasoline cap securely and clean up spilled fuel
before restarting.
NOTICE
THE RIGHT AND LEFT SIDES
OF YOUR CULTIVATOR ARE
DETERMINED FROM THE
OPERATING POSITION AS
YOU FACE THE DIRECTION OF
FORWARD TRAVEL.
THE 2CYCLE ENGINE USES A
50:1 RATIO OF GAS:OIL.
DO NOT USE STRAIGHT UNMIXED GASOLINE OR
ENGINE DAMAGE WILL OCCUR.
THIS IS A MOTORIZED CULTIVATOR THAT WORKS
THE SOIL BY MEANS OF ROTATING TINES. IT
IS PEDESTRIAN CONTROLLED, BUT NOT SELF
PROPELLED, AND USES A GASOLINEFUELED
INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE TO POWER THE
TINES. IT SHALL NOT BE USED FOR ANY OTHER
PURPOSE.
• Do not overload the machine capacity by attempting
to till too deep at too fast of a rate.
• Never operate the cultivator without good visibility or
light.
• Take all possible precautions when leaving the
machine unattended. Disengage throttle control,
stop the engine, wait for all moving parts to stop, and
make certain guards and shields are in place.
• When leaving the operating position for any reason:
- shut o the engine.
- wait for all moving parts to stop.
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE PRECAUTIONS
• Keep machine, attachments and accessories in safe
working condition.
• Check shear bolts, engine mounting bolts and other
bolts at frequent intervals for proper tightness to be
sure the equipment is in safe working condition.
• To prevent accidental starting, always disconnect and
secure the spark plug wire from the spark plug before
performing cultivator maintenance.
• Never run the engine indoors. Exhaust fumes are
deadly.
• Always allow muer to cool before lling the fuel
tank.
• Never store equipment with gasoline in the tank
inside a closed building where fumes may reach an
open ame or spark. Allow the engine to cool before
storing in any building.
• Always refer to the operator’s guide instructions for
important details if the cultivator is to be stored for an
extended period.
OPERATION PRECAUTIONS
• Do not operate cultivator under the inuence of
alcohol or drugs.
• Never operate cultivator without guards, covers, and
hoods in place.
• Keep hands, feet, and clothing away from rotating
parts. Keep clear of cultivator tines at all times.
• Tines rotate when cultivator is engaged; tines rotate
when the drive safety control lever is pulled down.
Releasing the drive safety control lever to neutral
stops the tines.
• Use extreme caution when operating on or crossing
gravel drives, walks, or roads. Stay alert for hidden
hazards or trac.
• After striking a foreign object, stop the engine,
remove the wire from the spark plug, thoroughly
inspect the cultivator for any damage, and repair
the damage before restarting and operating the
cultivator.
• If vegetation clogs the tines, stop the engine and
disconnect the spark plug wire before removing
vegetation by hand.
• If the unit should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the
engine and check immediately for the cause. Vibration
is generally a warning of trouble.
• Do not run engine indoors; exhaust fumes are deadly.
BURNS AND FIRES
The muer, muer guard and other parts of the engine become
extremely hot during the operation of the engine. These parts
remain extremely hot after the engine has stopped.
Prevention of Burns and Fires
• Never remove the muer guard from the engine.
• Never touch the muer guard because it is extremely hot
and will cause severe burns.
• Never touch parts of the engine that become hot after
operation.
• Always keep materials and debris away from muer guard
and other hot parts of the engine to avoid res.
Children and bystanders
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to the
presence of children and/or bystanders. Never assume that
others will remain where you last saw them.
• Keep the area of operation clear of all persons, especially
small children and pets. Keep children under the watchful
care of a responsible adult.
• Be alert and turn machine o if children enter the area.
• Before and while moving backwards, look behind and down
for small children.

the machine in an upright position. Some procedures will be
easier if the machine is lifted on a raised platform or working
surface.
• To reduce re hazard, keep machine free of grass, leaves or
other debris build-up. Clean up oil or fuel spillage. Allow
machine to cool before storing.
• Stop and inspect the equipment if you strike an object.
Repair, if necessary, before restarting.
