    The cultivator is powered by a two-stroke, air-cooled engine and requires a fuel mixture of gasoline and 2-cycle fuel oil. NOTE: Always mix two-cycle engine oil like Ryobi’s Exact Mix Semi Synthetic Oil with gasoline before fueling the unit. Run- ning the cultivator on gasoline alone will ruin the engine.
