Getting Started Continued
7. After restarting the TailGator ® , use the throttle trigger (#5)
to rev the motor until the ingredients are completely
blended. Use the stop switch (#12) to kill the motor.
Shut’n it Down
1. After your blending is complete, depress the stop switch
(#12) to kill the motor.
2. Move the tab on the lock ring back to the open position,
remove the pitcher from the motor coupling and pour away.
3. After all blending is complete, clean the pitcher. For best
results use a bottlebrush to clean the blades.
4. Only place the TailGator ® back into its carrying case or
other container after the motor has had sufficient time to
cool.
Getting Started
1. With your Gator lying on its side and the fuel cap (#8)
pointing upward, remove the fuel cap and fill the fuel tank
(#9) with the appropriate fuel mixture. Refer to Important
Safeguard’s on page 4 for fuel mixture info.
2. Now wrestle your Gator to its feet. It is recommended that
the Gator be warmed up before using. With the pitcher
assembly off, depress the primer bubble (#10) two or more
times, until it becomes firm.
3. Move the choke lever (#11) up into the full position. Put
one hand around the neck area of the Gator (#4). Place your
index finger on the trigger (#5) for throttle control.
4. Holding the Gator’s neck firmly with one hand, quickly
pull the starter rope (#7) toward yourself. Pull the starter
rope two or more times until the engine pops or runs briefly.
5. Now move the choke lever (#11) down to the half way point
or to the closed position, and pull again until the motor starts.
Run the motor several seconds.
6. With the motor off, move the lock ring tab until the openings
on the lock ring line up with the openings on the motor
coupling. Place a fully loaded pitcher into the motor coupling
by inserting ridges on the side of the pitcher base down into
openings on the lock ring, and then rotate the tab on the lock
ring as far as it will go to the left or right to lock the pitcher
in place. Check to make sure the pitcher is firmly locked in
place.
