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 muffler pointed

in the direction away from the operator.

• Never point the exhaust muffler 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 over-speed

the engine.

Gasoline Fires and Handling Fuel Safely

Use extra care in handling gasoline and other fuels. They are

flammable and vapors are explosive.

• When storing extra fuel be sure that it is in an appropriate

container and away from any fire hazards.

• Prevent fire 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).

• Always fill fuel tank outside in a well ventilated area. Never

fill your fuel tank with fuel indoors. (Examples include:

basement, garage, barn, shed, house, porch, etc.) Never

fill 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 specifically designed for fuel storage or it should

be disposed of carefully.

• Never remove the fuel cap or add fuel with the engine

running. Stop engine and allow to cool before filling.

• Never drain fuel from engine in an enclosed area.

• 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 refilling engine fuel tank.

• Do not store engine with fuel in fuel tank indoors. Fuel and

fuel vapors are highly explosive.

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.

CAUTION

HOT GASES ARE A NORMAL BYPRODUCT 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 POSITION.

• Never siphon fuel by mouth to drain fuel tank.

• Always have an adult fill the fuel tank and never allow

children to fill the engine.

• Never allow an adult or anyone under the influence of drugs

or alcohol to fill engine.

• When storing gasoline or equipment with fuel in the tank,

store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters or other

appliances that have a pilot light or other ignition source

because they can ignite gasoline vapors.

BURNS AND FIRES

The muffler, muffler 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 muer guard from the engine.

• Never touch the muffler 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 muffler guard

and other hot parts of the engine to avoid fires.

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 off if children enter the area.

• Before and while moving backwards, look behind and down

for small children.

• Never allow children to operate the machine.

• Use extra care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees,

or other objects that may obscure vision.

SERVICE

• Always stop the engine whenever you leave the equipment,

before cleaning, repairing or inspecting the unit. Engine

should be turned off and cool. Never make adjustments or

repairs with the engine (motor) running. Flip the ON/OFF

switch to the OFF position to prevent accidental starting.

• Always wear eye protection when you make adjustments or

repairs.

• Keep all nuts and bolts tight and keep equipment in good

condition.

• Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper

operation regularly.

• When servicing or repairing the machine, do not tip the

machine over or up unless specifically instructed to do so in

this manual. Service and repair procedures can be done with

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 fire 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.

• Clean and replace safety and instruction decals as necessary.

• Inspect machine before storage. When not in use, flip the

ON/OFF switch to the OFF position and store indoors in a

dry place locked or otherwise inaccessible to children.

• Use only original equipment parts from Earthquake,

including all nuts and bolts.

TINE REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION

To Remove Tines (SEE FIGURE 8)

1. Remove the hairpins from each end of the tine shaft.

2. Slide the four tines o the shaft.

To Install Tines

1. First slide the inside tines onto each end of the tine shaft.

One inside tine is stamped with a B and the other is

stamped with a C.

2. Slide the outside tine A and tine D onto each end of the

shaft next. The tines should be installed in the correct order

so that they are positioned left to right A, B, C, D, as viewed

from the user’s position on the MC440. Make sure that the

hub collars on both the right and left pairs of tines face

each other so that there is adequate spacing between the

tine blades. SEE FIGURE 8

3. Insert the hairpins into the holes at each end of the tine

shaft to lock the tines into place.

NOTE: Tines can be reversed so the pointed tip of the tines

are directed forward - for more aggressive digging. In this

arrangement, tines are positioned left to right D, C, B, A as

viewed from the user’s position

FIGURE 8

NOTE: To reduce cultivating width from 10” to 6”, remove

both outer tines and reinsert hairpins through the two inner

holes on the tine shaft to secure both inner tines in place.

DRAG STAKE

The drag stake is used to help regulate cultivating depth and

control the cultivator from leaping forward during operation.

Resistance to forward motion is greatest when the drag stake is

set in its lowest position allowing for deeper cultivation.

To adjust the drag stake (SEE FIGURE 7:

1. Pull the lock pin out of the drag stake mount hole.

2. Position the drag stake so the pointed tip is directed

downward.

3. Insert the lock pin into the hole that achieves desired

ENGINE MAINTENANCE

Refer to engine emission warranty included with your product

for maintenance schedule.

Good maintenance is essential for safe, economical, and trouble-

free operation. It will also help reduce air pollution. To help

you properly care for your engine, the following pages include

a maintenance schedule, routine inspection procedures, and

simple maintenance procedures using basic hand tools. Other

service tasks that are more difficult, or require special tools, are

best handled by professionals and are normally performed by a

technician or other qualified mechanic.

Maintenance, replacement or repair of the emissions control

devices and systems may be performed by any non-road

engine repair establishment or individuals. However, items

must be serviced by an authorized dealer to obtain “no charge”

emissions control warranty service.

MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

STEPS FOR WORKING ON EQUIPMENT

1. Flip the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position. SEE FIGURE 9

2. Replace or repair the part on the cultivator.

3. Check all parts that were repaired, or removed during repair,

that they are secure and fit correctly.

NOTE: All repair parts must come from the factory. Never

replace parts that are not specifically designed for the

cultivator.

CULTIVATOR MAINTENANCE

1. Keep all screws, nuts, and bolts tight.

2. For cold weather operation, store the unit in a cool environment.

Transferring the unit from a cold to a warm place can cause the

build up of harmful condensation.

WARNING

PRACTICE SAFETY AT ALL TIMES. ENGINE MUST BE TURNED

OFF AND ALLOWED TO COOL BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY

MAINTENANCE OR REPAIR.

TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL STARTING:

• ENGINE MUST BE TURNED OFF AND COOL BEFORE

CHECK AND ADJUSTING ENGINE OR EQUIPMENT.

• TEMPERATURE OF MUFFLER AND NEARBY AREAS MAY

EXCEED 150° F 65° C. AVOID THESE AREAS.

• CHECK CULTIVATOR OFTEN FOR LOOSE NUTS AND

BOLTS. KEEP THESE ITEMS TIGHTENED.

• NEVER STORE ENGINE WITH FUEL IN THE TANK INSIDE

A BUILDING. POTENTIAL SPARKS MAY BE PRESENT

FOR IGNITION OF FUEL AND FUEL VAPORS.

• ONLY AN ADULT MUST DO MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR

ON ENGINE AND CULTIVATOR.

ON/OFF SWITCH

FIGURE 9

NOTICE

PROPER POSITION FOR CHECKING OIL LEVEL OR

REFILLING OIL IS FACE DOWN, WITH THE FUEL TANK

OF THE CULTIVATOR DOWN ON A HORIZONTAL

SURFACE. SEE FIGURE 3 ON PAGE 10. FAILURE TO

MAINTAIN THIS POSITION CAN RESULT IN OVER

FILLING THE ENGINE WITH OIL WHICH WILL IMPAIR

THE ENGINE’S PERFORMANCE. ONLY CHECK OIL

AFTER LETTING MACHINE SIT FOR FIVE MINUTES.

LUBRICATION

Choose engine oil that meets or surpasses the latest API service

classification. For temperatures higher than 32º F, use 10W-30

motor oil. Use SAE 5W-30 if temperatures are below 32º F.

OIL MAINTENANCE

After the first five hours of operating a new Viper engine the

oil should be replaced, and every 50 hours of operating time

thereafter. The oil should be changed every 25 hours if used

under severe conditions, such as in high temperatures or under

heavy loads. Check oil periodically; do not overfill!

CHANGING OIL

Be sure the engine is not operating and is located on a level

surface before checking or refilling oil. Engine should be warm

for easy removal of oil.

STEPS FOR CHANGING OIL

1. Flip the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position.

SPARK PLUG

The recommended spark plug is a NGK CMR6A. For

maintenance and care of the spark plug go online to www.

getearthquake.com for instructions or call Earthquake

customer service.

CARBURETOR

Never tamper with factory setting of the carburetor.

COOLING FINS

Cooling fins, air inlets and linkages must be free from any debris

before each use.

AIR FILTER

Never run engine without air cleaner properly installed. Added

wear and engine failure may occur if air cleaner is not installed

on engine.

Service air cleaner every 3 months or after 20 hours of operation.

Clean filter daily in extremely dusty conditions.

Steps for Replacing and Cleaning Air Filter

1. Before removing the air filter cover, move the choke lever to

the CHOKE position.

2. To remove air filter cover, unscrew the cover bolt with a screw

driver and gently pop out the front latch tab. The cover then

can be slid off the back latch tabs and away from the engine.

SEE FIGURE 10

3. Remove the foam filter and fiber filter elements. Replace with

a new fiber filter and a new oiled foam filter (SEE FIGURE 11),

or clean the original foam and fiber filters with warm water

and mild soap. Remember to thoroughly oil the foam filter

with 30 or 40 weight motor oil and squeeze out any excess oil

before reinstalling it. Make sure to press the foam filter evenly

into place over the fiber filter to ensure that the foam is fully

seated into its sealed position.

4. Replace the air filter cover by first connecting the back latch tabs

then swinging the cover, making sure the foam filter block stays

fully seated and in its proper position, and connect the front latch

tab so that it is secured into place.

5. Screw the cover bolt back into place. Check that the cover is

securely attached by pulling slightly on the cover. If the cover

doesn’t move when pulled, it is secure.

TRANSPORTING YOUR CULTIVATOR

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 the fuel 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 the engine to use up the fuel in the carburetor and fuel

Operator's Manual

MC440 4-Cycle Cultivator

Check for parts online at www.getearthquake.com or call 800-345-6007 M-F 8-5 15

tank. Always run engine in a well ventilated area.

6. Fuel cap should be screwed down tightly before transporting

your cultivator in a vehicle.

LONGTERM STORAGE

If your cultivator 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 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. Remove all debris from cultivator tines and engine.

3. Store cultivator by placing it on a level surface, resting on

the fuel tank and tine shield. SEE FIGURE 12
