Craftsman CMXGVAMKC25C Operator's Manual

To start the Craftsman CMXGVAMKC25C Cultivator, ensure it has sufficient fuel and oil. Set the choke to the 'start' position, prime the engine by pressing the primer bulb 3-5 times, and pull the starter rope until the engine starts.
Check the fuel level and add fresh fuel if necessary. Inspect the spark plug for damage or wear and replace it if needed. Ensure the air filter is clean, and clear any debris blocking the fuel line.
It is recommended to change the oil after the first 5 hours of use and then every 25 hours of operation or at the start of each season.
Use clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline with a minimum 87 octane rating. Avoid using ethanol-blended fuels higher than 10%.
Regularly inspect the tines for wear or damage. Clean them after each use to remove dirt and debris. Sharpen or replace tines as needed to ensure optimal performance.
The recommended spark plug gap for the Craftsman CMXGVAMKC25C Cultivator is 0.030 inches (0.76 mm).
In hard soil, make multiple passes with the cultivator, gradually increasing the depth with each pass. Ensure tines are sharp and consider adding weight to the cultivator for better penetration.
Wear appropriate protective gear such as gloves, goggles, and sturdy footwear. Keep hands and feet away from moving parts, and operate the cultivator at a safe distance from others.
Clean the cultivator thoroughly to remove dirt and debris. Drain the fuel tank or add a fuel stabilizer, and store it in a dry, covered location. Regularly check for any signs of rust or wear.
Check for loose or damaged components such as the tines or engine mounts. Tighten any loose parts and replace damaged ones. Ensure the cultivator is on a level surface and not overloaded.
