TROUBLESHOOTING AND REPAIR

At Earthquake, we build quality and durability into the design

of our products; but no amount of careful design by us, and

careful maintenance by you, can guarantee a repair-free life for

your Earthquake cultivator. Most repairs will be minor, and easily

fixed by following the suggestions in the troubleshooting guide

in this section.

The guide will help you pinpoint the causes of common problems

and identify remedies.

For more complicated repairs, you may want to rely on your

retailer, an authorized service center or Earthquake. Earthquake

will make the necessary repairs if a service center is not available.

A parts breakdown is located toward the end of this manual.

We will always be glad to answer any questions you have, or

help you find suitable assistance. To order parts or inquire about

warranty, call or e-mail us using the contact information found

LONGTERM STORAGE

If your MC440 will not be used for more than one month,

prepare it for long-term storage.

Steps for Long-Term Storage

1. Mix an appropriate amount of fuel stabilizer, such as STA-

BIL®, to fresh gasoline, in the ratio recommended on the

stabilizer packaging. Run the engine for five minutes to

distribute the stabilizer mixture throughout the fuel system.

This will prevent gum, varnish and corrosion build up in your

fuel system during long-term storage for up to 12 months.

2. Store 4-cycle cultivator engine in a vertical position.

3. Remove all debris from cultivator tines and engine.

TRANSPORTING YOUR MC440

1. After using the cultivator, and before transporting it in a truck

bed, check that the gas cap is screwed on (clockwise) tightly.

The gas cap will not leak during transporting if gas cap is tight.

Never transport engine inside an enclosed space within a

vehicle. Fuel or fuel vapors may ignite causing serious injury

or death.

2. If fuel is present in the fuel tank, transport in an open vehicle

in an upright position.

3. If an enclosed vehicle must be used, remove gas into an

approved red fuel container. DO NOT siphon by mouth.

4. Wipe away any spilled fuel from engine and cultivator. Allow

to dry.

5. Run engine to use up the fuel in the carburetor and fuel tank.

Always run engine in a well ventilated area.

6. Gas cap should be screwed down tightly before transporting

your MC440 in a vehicle.
