OPERATING YOUR EDGER
PREPARING ENGINE FOR STARTING
GAS AND OIL
Quality
To operate the engine, we recommend using “VIPER” brand
2-cycle oil (PN 300400) to ensure that the engine operates
correctly throughout the life of the engine. Use unleaded
regular gas only.
NOTE: VIPER oil can be purchased from our web site
at www.GetEarthquake.com.
Mixture
Run engine with a 50:1 ratio.
MIXING FUEL AND FILLING FUEL TANK
Mixing Fuel
1. Fuel must be mixed in a container outside in a well
ventilated area.
2. Fill certified fuel container 1/4 full of recommended
fuel.
3. Add recommended amount of 2 cycle oil.
4. Screw container cap on straight and tight.
5. Shake the container to mix fuel and oil.
6. Unscrew gas cap slowly to vent, add the remainder of
fuel requirements.
7. Wipe away any spilled fuel or oil and allow to evaporate
before moving or transporting.
Filling Fuel Tank
1. Shut-off engine and allow engine to completely cool
before refilling the fuel tank.
2. Move to a well ventilated area, outdoors, away from
flames and sparks.
3. Clean debris from area around the fuel cap.
4. Loosen fuel cap slowly. Place the cap on a clean, dry
surface.
5. Carefully add fuel without spilling.
6. Do not fill gas tank completely full, allow space for fuel
to expand.
GAS OIL RATIO
1 gallon 2.6 ounces 50:1
2 gallons 5.1 ounces 50:1
5 gallons 13 ounces 50:1
IMPORTANT
THIS ENGINE USES A GAS/OIL MIXTURE. DO NOT
RUN ON STRAIGHT GAS ONLY, ENGINE DAMAGE
WILL RESULT.
MODEL WE43E ONLY - DO NOT START ENGINE WITH
BATTERY CHARGER CONNECTED TO BATTERY. THIS
COULD CAUSE DAMAGE TO YOUR MACHINE.
7. Immediately replace fuel cap and tighten. Wipe off
spilled fuel and allow to dry before starting engine.
NORMAL OPERATION
1. The clutch will transfer maximum power after about two
hours of normal operation. During this break-in period
clutch slippage may occur. The clutch should be kept
free of oil and other moisture for efficient operation.
2. Cultivate without placing excessive body weight on the
unit. The edger operates most efficiently with the weight
of the unit itself.
3. Never run engine indoors. Exhaust fumes are deadly.
Using the Screw Type, Manual Venting Gas Cap
Your edger is equipped with a screw type, manual venting
gas cap.
1. Before starting the engine, turn the screw in the top of
the gas cap 2-3 turns (counterclockwise) to its venting
position. DO NOT turn the screw to the point that it stops
(4-5 turns counterclockwise). To ensure that gas will
not spill during use, check that the gas cap is screwed
on tightly and the gas cap screw is in the venting
position.
2. After using the edger and before putting away or
transporting it in a vehicle, screw the gas cap screw
and gas cap on (clockwise) tightly. This will prevent gas
from leaking during storage. The gas cap will not leak
during storage if gas cap is tight and the screw at the
top is tight.
STARTING AND STOPPING ENGINE
• Move engine to a well ventilated area, outdoors, to
prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.
• Move to an area away from flames or sparks, to avoid
ignition of vapors if present.
• Remove all debris from air cleaner holes and gas cap
to ensure proper air flow.
