Getting Started (Continued)
7. After restarting the TailGator®, be sure to keep one hand
firmly on top of the blender during operation and use the
throttle trigger (#7) to rev the motor until the ingredients
are completely blended. Use the stop switch (#3)
to kill the motor.
Shut’n it Down
1. After your blending is complete, depress the stop switch
(#3) to kill the motor.
2. Remove the pitcher from the motor coupling and pour away.
3. After all blending is complete, clean the pitcher. For best
results use a bottlebrush to clean the blades.
4. Only place the TailGator® back into its carrying case or
other container after the motor has had sufficient time to
cool.
Getting Started
1. With your Gator lying on its side and the fuel cap (#11)
pointing upward, remove the fuel cap and fill the fuel tank
(#10) with the appropriate fuel mixture. Refer to Important
Safeguard’s on page 4 for fuel mixture info.
2. Now wrestle your Gator to its feet. It is recommended that
the Gator be warmed up before using. With the pitcher
assembly off, depress the primer bubble (#5) two or more
times, until it becomes firm.
3. Move the choke lever (#4) up into the full position. Put
one hand around the neck area of the Gator (#1). Place your
index finger on the trigger (#7) for throttle control.
4. Holding the Gator’s neck firmly with one hand, quickly
pull the starter rope (#2) toward yourself. Pull the starter
rope two or more times until the engine pops or runs briefly.
5. Now move the choke lever (#4) down to the half way point
or to the closed position, and pull again until the motor starts.
Run the motor several seconds.
6. With the motor off, place a fully loaded pitcher into the motor
coupling by inserting ridges on the side of the pitcher base down
into openings on the ring of the motor coupling. Check to make
sure the pitcher is firmly set in place.

Important Safeguards (Continued)
Operation (Continued)
3. Keep hands, utensils, or any other foreign objects out of the
pitcher, while the TailGator® is in use.
4. Avoid contact with any moving parts.
5. Always run your Gator for a few seconds without pitcher in
place before operating the TailGator®. Make sure the pitcher
assembly is firmly positioned into the motor coupling before
operating the TailGator®.
6. Always load the pitcher with ingredients first, before placing jar
on your TailGator®.
7. When blending hot liquids, use extreme caution when placing
ingredients in, or pouring mixture out of the TailGator®.
8. Be sure the lid is securely in place before operating the
TailGator®. Do not open lid while blending.
9. Turn off the TailGator® before removing the pitcher from the
Gator base.
10. Use the TailGator® only for food preparation or for blending
food substances as described in this instruction manual.
11. Do not attempt to add fuel to the fuel tank while the TailGator®
is in use.

Important Safeguards
1. When using gas powered appliances, basic safety precautions
should always be followed including the following steps.
2. Unless otherwise noted, proper fuel to oil mixture is 40:1 as
recommended by the motor manufacturer.
Before You Begin Blending
1. Read all instructions.
2. Blades are sharp. Handle them carefully.
3. The TailGator®, as with all gas powdered devices, is meant for
outdoor use only. Do not use the TailGator® in an enclosed
area.
4. Do not operate with damaged starter rope or choke lever or after
unit has been dropped or damaged in any way.
Operation
1. Always use unit on a clean, flat, hard, dry surface. There should
be no material such as a tablecloth or plastic between unit and
surface.
2. Due to the exhaust being dispersed out of the bottom of the
TailGator®, it is recommended that the TailGator® not be
operated on any carpeted or easily marred surfaces.
